 A woman from another country came to America and she was concerned. She's like, well, in my country, you see breastfeeding women everywhere, all over the place. But when I come here, I don't really see it at all, so I wasn't sure if that was something that was done here. And I'm like, wow, that really says something. Hi, my name is Angel, and I am a breastfeeding advocate. I have breastfed all five of my children, and I'm currently breastfeeding my nine months old. I support breastfeeding in public because I believe that if a baby's got to eat, she's got to eat. If someone were to come up to me and tell me to stop breastfeeding, I'd probably ask them, why do you want me to stop feeding my child? There's generations lost of breastfeeding mothers. I meet moms that their mom didn't breastfeed, their grandmother didn't breastfeed. And so the art of breastfeeding is gone. When we watch TV and we see the baby's eating, how are we seeing them fed with a bottle? One of the reasons why I find breastfeeding in public so important is because we're normalizing breastfeeding. When I learned that breastfeeding helps with building the immune system, I'm like, oh my gosh, people need to know about this. The immune system of my mom and my grandmother is in me and in my breast milk, and I'm giving that to her. So I think that's so cool and so fascinating, and that's one of the reasons why I'm such a huge advocate because I know this is going to impact our future. It's going to impact the future of our health. Breastfeeding is made for their bellies. It's so much easier for them to digest versus formula. There's been so many myths about mostly how formula is better than breast milk. It's cheaper. It is completely free to breastfeed. You don't have to pay for anything, you just have yourself. Breastfeeding in public is, I think, an education to future mothers and current mothers. It also gives other moms that may be shy about breastfeeding in public, it gives them the courage to actually do that and to take that step into helping normalize breastfeeding and then educating our future mothers. If you're currently a breastfeeding mom and you see a mom breastfeeding, encourage her. Tell her that she's doing a wonderful job because it can be scary when you're breastfeeding in public, especially for the first time.
