Breast feeding, is it important?

posted by: burn category: Personal, Revealed Sentiments 2 Comments

I gave an activity to my students last month about breastfeeding and bottle feeding. I let them interview their mother whether they were given a breast milk or formulated milk, how important breastfeeding and they will describe their relationship with their mother. I am surprise with their answers. Some of them were bottle feed while others were breast feed. In terms of relationship, it is really true that there is strong attachment of mother and child relationship. They were very close and how healthy they were. They were free from sickness and they achieve academically. Those students who were bottle feed reveals that they were not close to their mom, they got sick often.

I can’t imagine how will be my relationship with my baby. But I do believe no matter the baby is bottle feed or breastfeed, it will depend on how she was raised by her parents and the influence of her environment. For now, let us just cross the bridge when we get there.

I felt guilty

posted by: burn category: Blog, Lifestyle, Parenting, Personal 5 Comments

As Ms. Anna presented this during our celebration, I really felt guilty. I was about to cry when I read the entire message.

This is a wakeup call to all sons and daughter who happens to be neglecting their parents. In my case, my mother is still at her 50’s. This message makes me realize how important the understanding and taking care of our parents as they get old. Some of us take them literally but not that with understanding.

Take time to read it, especially when you are alone.
