So Excited! This month, I join a list of wonderful writers as a contributor for The Cultured Traveller! @TCT_Mag ! #Whoopdeedaah!

all hospitals should allow husbands to be with the wife during the delivery, and the first night after. That support is essential! @AJStream

[Dilknml @Dilknml]

@AJStream classes do exist at the moment. but they are expensive,as its held privately. No classes on a mass scale that is affordable to all

[Dilknml @Dilknml]

Breastfeeding or formula! A fed baby is the best!As long as the choices are made based on education, proper information & support @AJStream

[Dilknml @Dilknml]

breastfeeding does hurt! A lot! but it is just the start..but the right advice and support can help a lot @AJStream

[Dilknml @Dilknml]

Team @sidra through and through! Lots of good work being done by the hospital to raise awareness!

[Dilknml @Dilknml]

far too common for hospital staff to give formula. Moms have always had to fight their own corners @AJStream

[Dilknml @Dilknml]

Cuban Hospital was fab. respected my wishes for skin2skin & breastfeeding.helped me latch the baby.nurses came 2help at night too @AJStream

[Dilknml @Dilknml]

@AJStream Qatar also has a strong network of moms who support and encourage moms such as the Positive Birth Group Doha - an FB group! #best

[Dilknml @Dilknml]

@AJStream positives in Qatar - well equipped baby rooms at malls & airport - https://t.co/xRsSANJbGT - and the nursing hour for working moms

[Dilknml @Dilknml]

#AJStream one of the biggest myths I heard is that drinking water will make the breastmilk less beneficial and more water! education is key.

[Dilknml @Dilknml]

@AJStream banning formula is a bit steep imo. Educating moms and dads is more important, as is providing the necessary support. Awareness!

[Dilknml @Dilknml]

@AJStream extensive campaigns to dispel myths & misinformation. Access to lactation consultants. Classes by all maternity hospitals. 2/2

[Dilknml @Dilknml]

@AJStream it should always be parent's choice. Not legislation. Educate, support and empower. That is the only solution - knowledge 1/2

[Dilknml @Dilknml]

@AJStream know from speaking to moms, many are unaware about the 1hr provision #ajstream

[Dilknml @Dilknml]

@AJStream the short maternity leave. I was fortunate to have supportive bosses and compiled annual leave n got 2months #AJStream

[Dilknml @Dilknml]

The truth is that motherhood is mental, and miraculous and everything in between.
