“Breastfeeding is not easy, but it's a wonderful experience for the entire family. Lahat natututo, pati mga kids. Teamwork talaga. It's a commitment and a blessing. And the best part is it is so convenient. I'm more mobile now as compared to my previous post-pregnancies.
Basta lang dala ko ang sling and some clean diapers, go na kami.
How cool is that!” |
