We're getting closer to one of the most expected dates of the year for us children: HALLOWEEN. This date is relevant to us because we can become a hero or any of our favorite characters...
For this week, we have researched a little about this date's story:
In this celebration the celts tributed their ancestors and wore masks to keep evil spirits away. In Scotland, on the other hand, young men wore white clothes and got their faces painted black and white.
Today, this celebration is very important in the United States, Canada and some Latin American countries. In these countries the meaning of the celebration is to give relevance to the extreme closeness of the world of living with the kingdom of dead.
We can also say that this celebration has come to our homes because of the ads and commerce of American cinema.
In that special night of October 31st, year after year, children run along the streets and malls dressed as witches, elves, ghosts, superheros, and wear fairy tales and cartoons customes.

HALLOWEEN
Worldwide, in this day children wear costumes, have fun and ask for candies with a special rhyme: Treat or trick!
But, where does this Halloween come from? The Samhain was a celtic celebration in ancient Ireland, the word meant "end of summer"; this was done to celebrate the end of crops and at the same time it was considered the end of the year and the beginning of the new year.

BREASTFEEDING
Mom! Today
we will talk about one of the most relevant issues of motherhood: Breastfeeding.
Importance of breastfeeding
According
to Unicef, if every mom would breastfeed their babies immediately after they
are born, about 1,5 million children would survive every year. Breast milk is
the main nourishment during the first six months of a baby’s life and it
complements their nutrition until they are about 24 months old, improving their
nutritional conditions.
Main advantages for children
The first
milk mom’s breasts produce right after labor is called colostrum, this is
highly important since it protects children against infections, plus it is a
natural laxative.
Breastfeeding
definitely establishes a link so mom and baby can communicate, strengthens
their tie and helps baby’s growth and development physically and intellectually.
It protects
babies against illnesses such as obesity, diabetes, malnutrition, skin
diseases, among others.
Main advantages for moms
It
decreases the chances of developing ovarian or breast cancer.
It helps
reduce postpartum hemorrhage
It is a
money saving option since moms can refrain from buying baby bottles, milk,
pacifiers, etc.
Summarizing
Breastfeeding
is a way to integrate the family, to communicate and share love at home—mom,
dad and the baby.
