Patient Comments (2)
Starlight appreciates your lovely words. We will continue to strive to provide the best care to our community.
We appreciate the opportunity to care for your child for the past year. Starlight regrets that our guidance at your last visit was misinterpreted, because we certainly support breast feeding. Regular milk was only recommended because it's considered safe after 12 months of age, if this is the parents choice, but as you mentioned breast milk is always best !!! :) We wish the very best for you and your family.
