Pueblo a Pueblo (PaP): Breastfeeding is love!

Breastfeeding week

It is inevitable that we must talk about the lack of food security for the population in general and for the most vulnerable ones, our infants, mainly children under 2 years old.

So our support is aimed at highlighting the importance of good nutrition for our children. In this case, breastfeeding during the first years of life. We support our mothers in the mother-child program and continue to educate them about the main benefits of breastfeeding for their babies. 

Breast milk is the best food a mother can offer her baby from birth until they both decide to discontinue breastfeeding. Not only because of its composition, but also because of the emotional bonding that is established between a mother and her breastfed baby.  This bond is a special, unique and intense experience.

In the words of one of our Maternal-Child beneficiaries, Alicia Arriaga says that for her breastfeeding is a unique experience that only women have the joy of feeling. She mentions that having the opportunity to carry in our womb the beginning of our children's lives and then feeling that unique sensation of breastfeeding them is part of our happiness.

So this week we joined the campaign on breastfeeding, promoting and educating about its importance.
