Promoting Breast-Feeding Among The Border's Working Moms - Fronteras Desk
New mothers in one of the most violent cities in the world now have a peaceful space to bond with their babies. A new support center for breast-feeding moms called the “Baby Café” just opened up in the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juárez. The café is a cozy spot for moms to hang out, ask questions and get support from professionals. The concept began in the United Kingdom and has spread worldwide. The main goal is to help moms breast-feed their babies to age six months and beyond. |
