After overcoming breast cancer and becoming a mother, one of the most common concerns is whether the baby can be breastfed since some treatments could affect the breast and therefore make it difficult to breastfeed.
It seems that a routine as natural as breastfeeding in public does not quite catch on in everyone's mind and that there is still a long way to go. If not, tell Marcella Mares, a university student in California (United States) who suffered the humiliation of a teacher during one of her online classes for breastfeeding her baby.

In addition, new positive effects of the most complete food that we can offer to our children are constantly being discovered.

All of us have a membrane under the tongue that attaches it to the floor of the mouth and allows it to move. Generally, the growth of this frenulum is consistent with that of the tongue, but it may happen that this is not the case, leaving the sublingual frenulum short. It is known as tongue tie, and many parents wonder what happens if my child has a frenulum of the tongue that is too short?
Breastfeeding has lights and shadows. It is wonderful, but there are hard times. And weaning can be one of them. If we let the baby decide, it is rare that he decides to wean before the age of two, especially if he has exclusively breastfed for six months and then on demand.
Breast milk is the best food we can give our baby. And famous moms have become icons in the fight for breastfeeding, also in public. One of them is Natalia Sánchez, a mother of two children, who has shared and shares her experiences in motherhood on her Instagram account, as a way to normalize it and help other mothers who are traveling the same path.
