Patricia Montero is shown with breast pumps on her breasts: normalization of breastfeeding in public places

It is not the first time (and we hope it is not the last) that we talk about the motherhood of Patricia Montero. We did it first during her pregnancy and, since her daughter Layla was born, on February 25, from her upbringing.

An outspoken advocate of breastfeeding, she has now re-created debate among her Instagram followers by posting a photo of herself with breast pumps , one on each breast. The actress wonders: why can’t mothers express their milk in a public place and offer it to their baby in a bottle? The controversy is served.

Breastfeeding in a natural state

“Realities of being a Mom. Realities of breastfeeding and the blessed breast pump ”. This is how the text that accompanies the last lactation photo of the actress and author of the book ‘Get your inner self in shape’ begins. And he wonders why, “Even though it seems like my best outfit to me, unfortunately, I can’t go around with him.” Argues about breast pump:

“It should be able to be used in all public spaces, as it allows me to continue feeding my little one as I have chosen. It does not mean that it is better than other ways of doing it, but it is the one I have chosen and I would love if it were normal to be able to prepare a bottle of breast milk in public places, so that the person who will take care of the baby while I am away , can feed him. It would be wonderful to standardize the different ways of preparing a bottle. Do not you think?”.

Realities of being a Mom Realities of #maternal breastfeeding and the blessed #breast pump Although it seems like my best outfit to me, unfortunately I can’t go around with it. And the question is, why should this gossip, that many of you wonder what it is for, should be able to be used in all public spaces, since it allows me to continue feeding my little one as I have chosen, which does not mean that it is better than other ways of do it, but it is the one I have chosen and I would love it to be normal to be able to prepare a bottle of #maternal milk in public places, so that the person who is going to take care of the baby while I am away, can feed him. It would be wonderful to standardize the different ways of preparing a bottle. Don’t you think? I understand that with this photo, I open a debate, which I am already moving forward to, I will not enter. I just wanted to show that part that we all hide and that is real, that it is there. That #maternity has very beautiful things and others that are less aesthetic, but incredibly practical. I share something that for me is very intimate, lovingly and without any intention of offending anyone. Therefore, I ask you RESPECT, not only towards me. Please, do not attack each other, do not insult each other, think that above any thought we are all mothers and of course, people and we have a heart. Without more, long live the moms #Breastfeeding #Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding in children older than one year: breastfeeding from 12 months is not spoiling

The first thing that caused me doubt when writing the post was the title. I have often heard the terms prolonged breastfeeding to refer to children older than 12 months who are still nursing. Or breastfeeding in older children. And yet, I get the impression that these terms refer to something that is not normal, as if breastfeeding had to have a short duration or children beyond the age of 2 years were considered too old to breastfeed.
