The seminar started at 9:00 am and ends up at around 4:00 PM. There was a lactation massage by Nanay Rich after at Karen's house for some breastfeeding mom including me. It was a tired day since I have lack of sleep because I came from a graveyard shift work in Manila but the massage was so relaxing to end the day well.
