Maternity

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.

We know that having children changes many aspects of our life, particularly the way we think. But according to various research done over the years, becoming mothers and fathers also has effects on our brain.

Estefanía Unzu is best known for Verdeliss, she has more than two million subscribers on YouTube and forms a very special family with her husband Aritz and their seven children, from Aimar, 15, to Miren, who is only one. The influencer and former contestant of 'GH VIP' has us used to always being spectacular but also to showing motherhood in a natural way, as it is.

There is no experience similar to being a mother. It can have many drawbacks, but it always compensates a lot. Even so, we are aware that there is still a long way to go so that society and the world of work do not penalize women who decide to have children. That is undoubtedly one of the reasons that cause the birth rate in Spain to be lower every year. Currently, Spanish women only have 1.4 children on average, compared to 2.1 in the United States, 2 in the United Kingdom, or 1.9 in Germany. Also the average age to have the first child is delayed in Spain (31 years on average) compared to 27 in Germany or 25 in the United States.

Becoming a parent should lead to more mature behavior and increased responsibility, caring, and emotional stability. At least that's what the theory goes.

Something quite incredible was discovered a few years ago: Babies are born knowing the smell of their mothers thanks to amniotic fluid. They are born with a highly developed sense of smell precisely to ensure food, and that is why women are always recommended not to put perfumes or colognes on the chest or neck, so as not to mask their body odor.

As mothers, we always strive for the best for our children, and we make sure to do everything in our power to ensure that they don't lack what it takes to develop in the healthiest way possible. When it comes to feeding, most cases fall into one of the two main options: breastfeeding or bottle feeding.
