====================================================
TEMASEK Holdings chief executive Ho Ching was once advised by her doctor to stop breastfeeding a week after childbirth.
She had contracted chicken pox. But despite the preventive measure, her baby got the virus too. The doctor then suggested she restart breastfeeding to pass on the antibodies to the baby through the milk.
'By then, it was a bit late. I couldn't restart breastfeeding no matter how hard I tried.'
In hindsight, Ms Ho, 56, said she should have continued breastfeeding as she would have passed the virus to the baby by the time she saw the doctor for her chicken pox.
She was relating her experience on Saturday at an event to celebrate World Breastfeeding Week. Organised by the Breastfeeding Mothers' Support Group (BMSG), it was held at the Health Promotion Board.
'Or, alternatively, I should have continued expressing or pumping my milk more diligently so that I could resume my breastfeeding after my recovery,' said Ms Ho, the wife of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. They have four children.
In her speech, she noted that more mums here are choosing to breastfeed and for a longer period.
A survey by research firm The Nielsen Company found that 41 per cent of mothers interviewed last year choose to breastfeed in their babies' first year, up from 30 per cent in a similar survey in 2006.
Those surveyed last year also did so for 4.5 months on average, up from 3.3 months clocked by mothers interviewed in 2006.
The World Health Organisation recommends that infants be exclusively breastfed for a minimum of six months. Studies show this cuts the mother's risk of developing ovarian cancer, and strengthens a baby's immunity.
