out. Together with our partners and sponsors we want to nurture family
development and raise the awareness on responsible child care." said David

should be there to learn the latest trends on parenthood and family life.”
“I speak in
behalf of the entire Medela Moms team when I say that we’re absolutely amazed
at the growing interest in breastfeeding, homeschooling, parenting and healthy
eating.” says Medela Moms co-founder, Maricel Cua
Edric Mendoza,
who is set to have a talk about Homeschooling emphasized the importance of the

it has to start in the house, and I believe that homeschooling helps allow that
to become a reality.”
