Babies in these times of pandemic have also had to suffer the consequences of poor government management. In the hospitals, our hands are tied because we don't have enough resources to take care of all those young people who are looking for help for their small children. The situation is serious, the rooms and incubators for newborns are deteriorating, the food situation for both mothers and children is serious. In the last few days, from the social service we have been trying to guide and help mothers with health problems who are also unable to breastfeed their newborns. Everything has become a real chaos, the visits we have made to the homes as a team make us work more and more. The ideal is to breastfeed babies for 6 months without interruption, this is what the specialists emphasize, after 6 months they start to complement the food but, it is not recommended to do it before because the babies' organs are just in the process of development. This last information is very unknown or ignored by mothers. Obviously, it is also understood that the lack of resources to buy formulas, diapers, clothes and a large etcetera, puts the mothers at risk and also endangers the lives of the little ones. It must be very well understood that in spite of the great difficulties that these mothers go through, the first thing is and will always be to take care of the health of the babies. If you are a mother who is going through a critical situation, you cannot breastfeed, nor buy milk formula, we recommend looking for a wet nurse as an option, substitute mothers with abundant milk production to take care of two babies. These surrogates at our center have been generous, it is a matter of conversation or locating an infant care service center so that you will receive the appropriate recommendations. Please avoid giving your child whole milk, it is counterproductive to act in this way. Don't close yourself off, but seek help. You are sure to find supportive people who will want to help you.

Always attentive...
