“As a new mum, feeding my baby solids was a scary prospect as I was afraid of choking.  These skills are so vital to any new parent and we just don’t get offered them!

 I enjoyed the interactive nature of the sessions and Charlotte was very passionate. She was also very good at offering us opportunities to ask questions.”
