Hi everyone, just a nice story I came across today. In one of Spains most read newspaper there was an interview with Joaquin, a young football, or soccer in the US, player who is becoming a great figure here. Looks like Real Madrid wants to get him on their team. He states that he such a strong, healthy sportsman because he breastfed until he was six. Some of his childhood friends are also interviewed and they say that they remember, after playing football all afternoon out on the street, they would go to the fountain to drink water. But Joaquin would run up to his mom and nurse! They say they are sure that is the reason why he has turned out much better than all of them. I was surprised and delighted by the natural way in which both Joaquin and his friends talked to a newspaper about his breastfeeding. Isnt that a lovely story?
