It was in 2005 when at that time i saw mothers around me breastfeed their babies passionately. At this time, i was posted in paediatric ward and special care nursery...when i came back from work, i started to asked my beloved mom whether i was breastfed during my infant time...and the answer is YES. I was breastfed exclusively until 2 years, however my mom had dificulty to wean me completely off from her breast, so that she let me continued breastfeeding until i was about 5 years old!!! Ehehee..thanks mom...very much. Unfortunately, my younger brother who was born 2 years after me was not breastfed...OOppssss...was that my fault? I don't dare to blame my mom for her decision not to breastfeed my brother, because she said at that time nobody taught her on breastmilk expression technique and storage (and another factor, of course, it was because of me who was so called "stingy" of breastmilk at that time..ehehe). SO, since i heard this explanation from my mom, i decided that one day i will become a breastfeeding activist....just to make sure all the mothers are well informed regarding the benefits and advantages of breastfeeding, as well as teaching them on expressing, storage and reusage of the breastmilk......
