Ep 84 - Una historia de lactancia: Angelica & Manny (A breastfeeding story: Angelica & Manny)
La lactancia materna puede ser como el primer paseo de montaña rusa. Hay altas y hay bajas, pero siempre es mejor cuando se esta acompañado de personas que nos apoyan y nos ayudan a sobrellevar los momentos dificiles y a celebrar los momentos grandiosos. Mientras recorramos el viaje de la lactancia, es importante recordar que como madres, queremos lo mejor para nuestros hijos y eso incluye el tener opciones.
Nursing or breastfeeding can be compared to riding a roller coaster for the very first time, with its unexpected ups and downs. However, it's always better when a strong support system is there to help and support us navigate the close turns and celebrate the good times. As we journey through the nursing experience, is also important to keep in mind that as mother's we want what is best for our children and that includes choices. PasoTaos.org

We do this by providing high-quality early childhood education, therapeutic services, supportive housing, and parent education. The cost of the homeless is borne by the entire community. Healthy communities are those in which all members can share in wealth and opportunity. Poverty creates divisions within a community.'' - VISIT - https://clnabq.org
