They are all beautiful mothers of the world even more so when they are immortalized with their children that nursing from their breasts. On the occasion of World Breastfeeding week, the International Breastfeeding Week which will end on 7 August, the German photographer Tammy Nicole give these to the web beautiful shots that describe, without words, the bond and boundless love between mother and children.
His project "Path of motherhood" collects more photos beautiful and suggestive who manage to touch the heart even of those who do not have children yet.
“A special result for me - Nicole writes - I hope that the whole world will be able to see the beauty of this gesture”.
We have already talked about theimportance of breastfeeding and how much it is fundamental is preferably used for health of the newborn but, also of that of moms. The child thanks to milk can build the intestinal bacterial flora and his own immune system
Also 'World Health Organization claims that breastfeeding in the first six months of life is necessary, establishing that in this way babies are also better protected from allergies, asthma, dermatitis, diabetes mellitus, obesity.
Also benefits for mothers have been proven by scientific research: women who have breastfed have less chance of developing breast tumors and osteoporosis. They also recover earlier from the after-effects of pregnancy and childbirth.
This year the WBW supported by the WABA, the World Breastfeeding Alliance, has brought another thorny issue to the center of the debate, that of combination of breastfeeding and working day. "It is a women's right to be able to claim their will to breastfeed and freely determine what is right for their baby."
In the past 22 years, many strides have been made, in particular a decisive step was that of the adoption of the ILO Convention 183/2000 on maternity protection which opened a series of laws and standards.
"In the workplace - reads the WABA press release - many actions have been taken, he has grown for example the number of places friendly mother, employers are more tolerant and respectful of the needs of breastfeeding women and there is greater awareness ”.
But unfortunately, not all over the world mothers enjoy the same rights so the battle of the World Alliance continues. The goal remains that of get all states to adopt a single legislation that protects working women who choose breastfeeding.
