Someone once told me that Mexicans are a race of warriors, but warriors are the royal steel, which are our dreams, strong and enduring, and royal women have it in your heart, yet I am sure that we are not the only ones in this country trying (with salaries "unequal") of raising a family, live a life that sometimes becomes difficult because these are such times, between economic crisis and unemployment is almost impossible to stay home to raise children but many will wish with all my heart.
So every day we go out to work outside the home, seeking a better life for our children, waiting for time to return to see them again, but even so, working with all the enthusiasm as possible and of course, always thinking of them and their future .
Every Wednesday night, when children should be in bed, a group of women and experts met to discuss breastfeeding through the Breastfeeding hastag # twitter. There are treating a specific topic, but sometimes the course or the current outstanding problems and we met last Wednesday, commenting on the mothers with babies (mine is still in the oven and my kids are grown and years ago who stopped breastfeeding so just give my opinion or support) on how difficult it is to work and try to continue breastfeeding at times. Nature is wise, but is guided by our actions to get our body to work as a nursing mother leaves large spaces of time (such as working hours) end to lower milk production until it reaches a point where they no longer produce more food for your baby, that's why the importance of drawing during working hours and store breast milk for our children to feed.
I think for everything there is a time and place, the Mexican mothers should be able to extract milk in their work without any difficulty, but if your workplace is an area not to make health and comfort, must comply with it in the bathroom. Perhaps they see as normal, but what would you eat your food if you say they were ready in the bathroom of your work?, Or better yet, how would you eat your food in the bathroom? do not worry, it's not the device itself, but if there, inside, where others make their physiological needs, where the trash can with healthcare waste, particularly where light could see all the feces floating in the environment, I would not ever and do not see why Mexican children have to.
Butso unfortunately, the law requires companies to give a place to express milk. Authorities may not consider this important point because not all women do but do not think it's easier not all do because it is uncomfortable and especially because, if there is a private and convenient toilet to do it well, Few women are willing to do and many of them give up?
Sometimes it is amazing to think that taking "serious" issues like this is "giving opportunity for employees to waste time, but otherwise in business if they have spaces for smoking and flexibility of time by employers to smoking employees can devote some time to this activity, without any problem. We are not against people who smoke, make it clear, I am setting an example of things that if taken seriously, and the really important things are not taken seriously.
Breastfeeding is important for the country that what we already know, helps the economy of each household that is more than clear, it is not sow weeds, we are raising the country's future, the health of our children is at game as it is well known that exclusive breastfeeding during the first months of life helps human beings do not suffer from diseases such as obesity and diabetes in adulthood. If patterns and businessman thought to this issue would surely more important since the mother has no concerns as "my baby is sick again" or "how do I express milk if everyone sees me ugly when I do and bathroom makes me sick? " can work better and be more productive because their children are sick less often and the anxiety that's being careful not to drain your breast milk is completely eliminated.
think that should be a law to defend this right is sometimes absurd, this is about common sense! Who eats food prepared in the bathroom?
Today the government announced a code that allows us to extend the production of milk, for this, enjoy 30 minutes to get to and from day care or where this our baby to nurse, this certainly is progress, but in cities like Monterrey and Mexico City by example, where the traffic does not let you move you from one place to another in less than 15 minutes this decree results in a useless law is useless and only creates more stress on the mother, because now the pressure will go and come in under 30 minutes or risk a warning or even that time he lowered his salary (as if it were a pizza).
I hope this situation will change and that as women workers or not, always deserves respect for our individuality, not equal rights but as created beings different from men before birth, because among other things, we are the creators of life and that is dictated by the nature at the time of our conception because our needs and responsibilities are different and no more and no less important than those of men deserve respect for the right to raise our children and give them the best when we choose, because all "lack of ..." equals "without the right a. .." and that is backwards rather than progress.
The issue of breastfeeding is very extensive, there are such absurd things that happen in the world as the arrest to feed our children in public, but that, that is another issue that we may have the opportunity to deal in the future.
Besitos!
