Regarding the subject and immersed in the Week of Breastfeeding, we found it appropriate to interview the first degree specialist in Neonatology, Dr. Iraida Pérez González, to argue about the benefits of this practice.

In addition to the excellent explanations, the doctor explained that at José Ramón López Tabrane Maternal Provincial Hospital, where she works, it is perceived that it is the teenage pregnant women who are most resistant to breastfeeding.
