Being a first time mom, I know, this is not a reason for ignorance. A lot of people had advised me to do this and do that. After giving birth, my breast is full of milk that left me agonizing with pain. Although, I am in pain, they told me to let the baby suck it. But when my baby sucked it, he stopped, cried and looked for the bottle. He got only a drop of milk from my breasts.
Then some people would say, you have big melons, why can't you give milk? It irritates me; I wish I know. In my heart, I cried; in my mind, I don't know what to do anymore. A mother whom I have a chance to talked have told me that:

- Breastfeeding made her relax unlike formula-feeding, you have to wake up every 2 - 3 hours to prepare baby's milk in a bottle.
- The baby urinate less, meaning less diaper changing. Whereas, babies who are formula-based frequently urinates.
- The breast milk-based baby is closer to his mother.
- Breastfeeding is the cheapest milk in the whole world.
I breathe guiltiness, fear and pain in my heart. I am sad. How I wish someday I will earn for my baby's needs. Sana, napa-breastfeed ko siya.
