    about Bright Horizons

    "We want to thank you for all you have done for Justin over the years. From his first days back in 11/2008 with apprehension about his new childcare center, you were there to help him feel safe and comfortable. You assisted, not only in his transition to I.S., but continuously throughout. Thanks!"

    We are excited to partner with maternal-infant specialist Nancy Holtzman RN IBCLC CPN from Isis Parenting to answer all your questions about how to continue breastfeeding when returning to work.

We’ll review a time line for the early weeks, when and how to begin expressing milk and how to combine breastfeeding and bottle-feeding to protect the breastfeeding relationship.

    Attendees of this webinar will be entered to win a pump and accessories package from Medela.*
