Whether a baby or a child should go to daycare or a nursery school should not be an impediment to continue receiving the best possible feeding. However, not all of these institutions allow breast milk to remain present. In my opinion, breastfeeding should be standardized and favored in daycare centers and nursery schools, since it is a right for children to receive the best food for their development and well-being.
The World Health Organization indicates that it is best for children to receive breast milk as an exclusive food for up to six months and to maintain breastfeeding supplemented with other foods for at least two years. Any center that deals with the care of minors should assume these indications as one of their priorities.
The ideal daycare should allow mothers to come to breastfeed their babies at any time, and, if they cannot go to the center, keep and provide babies or children with the breast milk that the woman provided.
The Ministry of Education of the Community of Madrid has, for example, a regulation in this regard that any center under its ownership should scrupulously comply, However, in other areas this logical rule of health promotion is ignored, putting a lock more so that women who wish to continue breastfeeding after termination of maternity leave can do so.
The document of the Community of Madrid is very clear and gives precise and simple instructions so that the centers favor breastfeeding, and I leave the link so you can use it as a model in case you have to talk to the nursery to which you take your son, because adapting to be able to give extracted breast milk or letting mothers have access to their children is a very simple formula to fulfill some goodwill and training in the center.
I would like you to tell us if they have helped you or put you in trouble with Nursing in kindergartens and children's education centers.
