Feeding Babies: from the Torah to Today

Hosted By: Drisha

Baby formula as we know it didn’t exist in antiquity, but that doesn’t mean that breastfeeding magically came easy. Join Rabbanit Leah Sarna in a four part study of classical Jewish texts all about the what, when, how and who of feeding babies.
