Unii's Baby Feeding Expert: “Generally, if you're breastfeeding and want a glass of wine, enjoy it!”
Unii Baby Feeding Expert Wendy Lever IBCLC was inspired to become a lactation consultant by her own maternal experience, and we're constantly impressed by the breadth of her knowledge. She speaks to Unii Babies' host Dr. Saranya Ravindran about all things breastfeeding and formula feeding, from what to eat and how much breastmilk is required to which formula brands are best. Wendy expresses facts and busts some myths along the way!
