Q: What is your view of breast milk right now and how has it changed?

A: I have always believed that breast milk is the most suitable / best form of nutrition for humans. Now it just confirms this further.

Q: You mentioned in your Facebook post that the idea of ​​putting your milk under a microscope is a sudden idea. Why does groin arouse such a thought?

A: We are examining the blood cells under a microscope and I have really wanted to discover sperm since we have read about sperm moving and swimming, and thought it would be cool.

But it's a little bit of a hassle to get some sperm so I thought, why not check my breastmilk since I have read raw breast milk, with live bacteria and good bacteria. It even contains food to nourish the good bacteria in our milk and in our gut.

It's a lot faster and doesn't get fuss to get too.

Q: What to expect when you see milk under a microscope? Is it like you thought before seeing it on a microscope?

A: I was hoping to see some sort of living cell.

Q: Do you have any messages you would like to tell other mothers?

Answer: Equip yourself with knowledge and useful theory when next time practice. Our family education from our pregnancy will support the delivery of the baby. Support groups are also very helpful! They had a lot of information and assurance throughout my lactation with both kids.

Q: Would you continue to follow up with your findings from the microscope afterwards? What is really under the microscope, can you describe it in detail?

A: After that, I didn't follow it anymore because I couldn't find any formula samples right then and went back to work and other activities throughout the month.

Q: How much milk do you give under the microscope?

A: Only a small drop of milk is needed. I squeezed it directly from my chest.

Question: What is the reaction of husband and other family members?

A: My 7-year-old child was just as amazed as the other scientific experiments.

My husband was completely impressed by the milk sample. He has worked in the healthcare industry for over a decade and knows about the health field. He fully supports breastfeeding because he knows that his son is getting a very good nutrition.

When he saw the milk sample on the microscope, he was like “This is what my son drank! You can imagine? WOW! ''
