“Took a combined breastfeeding and newborn care class with meema recently. Meema was very informative and helpful. My partner and I learned a lot and every bit helps during this stressful and exciting time. Not only do you get a lot of information and tips, you also get a lot resources and support. Highly recommended and not just for first time parents!!”
