There is a growing "trend" for moms to breast-feed their babies. Breast-feeding was not a popular choice for middle-income families here in the Philippines as most moms a few decades ago prefer to bottle-feed their babies. Because of breast-feeding campaigns by government and non-government agencies such as breast-milk.org, moms are now well-informed on the benefits of breast-feeding. Oh yes, I breast-fed my kids but it was only for 2 to 3 months. Ethan wasn't able to but, his mommy pumped breast milk and put them in feeding bottles then kept them in the refrigerator for him. Today, there is no excuse not to have babies breastfed by moms except when they choose not to. Thursday, February 24, 2011

I'm glad more mothers now are considering breastfeeding their babies. Career moms will have the biggest challenge when it comes to this issue though.
