It's the norm to stay at home in Hungary with little kids for three years . Here it is just some weeks - I guess - the American model is followed .
The percentage of breastfeeding mothers is very low here .
People in my home think the opposite about Arab mothers .They think Arab mothers are more traditional and they certainly breastfeed . Unfortunately it is not the case .
The hospital staff is poorly trained as well when it comes about teaching new moms how to breastfeed . My personal experience was that they just throw the baby into the arm of the exhausted mother . Just six hours after the C -section came a nurse and threw my baby into my weak arms and gave the order ; Feed your Baby ! She was talking to me as to a criminal who must be reminded to the law . I was horrified . I was still very weak after / suffering from motion sickness / needles in my arm . I was screaming " Take away the baby - I can not even hold him " Then they took the baby angrily and came a doctor with serious face reminding me to my duty of breastfeeding.
This is not the way . Friendly approach needed from experienced and well trained female staff .Not orders but sisterly advice .
