2065438+May 20th, 2008 is the annual National Breastfeeding Publicity Day. Today, hundreds of mothers gathered in Sanfangqixiang, Fuzhou to breastfeed collectively, demonstrating the beauty and strength of breastfeeding. At 9: 30 in the morning, the song "Blessing for Love" floated over Sanfang and Qixiang in Fuzhou. Hundreds of nursing mothers with babies sat on a long stump in the middle of the three lanes and seven lanes to breastfeed their children collectively.
Breast-fed children range in age from one month to more than three years old. Some of them are second-born mothers. The older children sat next to their mothers, watching their younger brothers and sisters drink milk. This warm and quiet picture touched people coming and going. It is understood that the breastfeeding flash event with the theme of "breastfeeding: life affects life" was initiated by the public welfare platform "Fujian Breast-feeding Mothers Alliance". It is understood that this is the fifth breastfeeding flash event organized by the alliance.
Compared with previous years, there are more than a dozen expectant mothers in this year's flash. "In the past, I was full of respect for breastfeeding mothers. Today, I really participated in this activity, and I have fully felt the power of breastfeeding. I'm going to be a mother in a few months, and I'm going to breastfeed my child. I'm looking forward to it! " An expectant mother said excitedly. "I was very shocked to see such a picture. Breast-feeding mothers are great, and maternal love should be respected and supported. " Young college student volunteers said. "Although breastfeeding is a human instinct, women need to observe and learn to master this skill."
The person in charge of "Fujian Breast-feeding Mothers Alliance" said that mothers breastfeeding in public places can give more expectant mothers, young women and girls who are about to become expectant mothers more opportunities to observe and learn, and breast-feeding again becomes a normal way of parenting. 1998, 67%; In 2003, 50.8%; In 2008, 27.8%; 20 13, 20.8%; ..... This year-on-year decline is the decline of exclusive breastfeeding rate in China.
From full confidence before delivery to frustration after delivery, most parturients have to stop breastfeeding in advance, and weaning time is much earlier than they expected. Due to the lack of knowledge and skills provided by public services, women are usually unable to obtain correct information and adequate support. Breastfeeding is a culture that needs to be passed down and learned. "This means establishing a better support network, including policies that are more inclined to mothers and babies, more opportunities for observation and learning, support and companionship of professionals, and more cautious supervision of milk substitutes." The person in charge of the organizer "Fujian Breast-feeding Mothers Alliance" said. "Showing the beauty and strength of breastfeeding, reawakening the society's attention to breastfeeding, and letting more expectant mothers and unmarried young people observe and study, which is also the reason for choosing the theme of' life affects life' this year."
According to reports, the alliance was established at the end of 20 1 1, advocating "returning to nature and cherishing parent-child relationship", and is committed to providing effective breastfeeding guidance for young parents in Fujian and promoting the normalization of parenting. At present, more than15,000 families have joined the Fujian Breast-feeding Mothers Alliance, which is the earliest and largest mutual aid platform for breast-feeding mothers in Fujian Province.
