Young Android mother rubbishes breastfeeding, says God is still saying something.
Gaelle, single mother of 22years has said no to breast feeding for the reason that she is afraid this exercise may render her breasts saggy and she may become less available in the eyes of possible suitors. According to her, God is still saying something as far as getting the husband of her dreams is concerned.
"I am not breastfeeding my child because I don’t want my breast to fall. I want to maintain my beauty because I am young and still hoping to get marry. I believe God is till saying something in that direction and I don’t want to spoil things. I am giving my child artificial milk and the baby is fine; he doesn't have any problem” she says.
Medical reports strongly differ with views of the young Gaelle as Medical Doctors have it that the most important food a child is expected to feed on exclusively for the first 6 months after birth is breast milk.
While some people say breastfeeding renders their breast floppy others hold the viewpoint of Medical Doctors and say breastfeeding is best for young children.
"I introduce breast milk to my children from birth exclusively up to the age of 6 months” says a working mum “I started work when my second child was 3 months and I didn’t want her to take artificial milk. At times I will even press the breast and keep in the refrigerator before leaving for work after I must have suckled her. Breast milk is both nutritive and economical" she adds.
