“I want parents to leave my class with the confidence that no question is a dumb question. Ask the questions! Ask me, ask your care provider, your pediatrician. Then, based on your research, make the choices that are best for your family. Evidence based and informed consent care are the responsibility of the parents as well as their care providers.” Nikki Helms
