Nutrition and healthy lifestyle education addresses the importance of good nutrition for your child to grow and develop properly. Through education and support, our staff helps guide parents in choosing the best formula supplement, food, and other nutrition sources for the health and well being of your child. We highly encourage our moms to breast feed their child up until 12 months and thereafter as long as the mother and child desire.
