We are trained to encourage women to breastfeed.

Breast milk is the 'cheap', 'sterile','yummy' and 'accessible' at any time (Yeah, like your breast leaks due to any sound stimuli- a baby crying during lactation).


From time to time, we have been constantly trying to insert the RIGHT mentality into the women. Some nurses /doctors even despised women who choose to bottle feed their baby, saying that it's an erroneous idea and baby will have higher risk of ending up to be obese, more GI infections, asthmatic , ear infections and so on.


So, some smart people managed to come out with a poster conveying the message : GET YOUR BABY ON TO YOUR BREASTS.





Honestly, whenever I pass by the ward, I cringe at the sight of the poster.
First of all , they chose an African baby.
To me, an African baby= malnourished= hungry=gobbling down anything...including the breasts.

Hence, it seems very much to me that the baby is GNAWING the breast instead of sucking.

OUCHHHHHHHHHHH~~~ ( some mothers will experience this definitely)

That put me off of breastfeeding, period.
