Please don't throw your baby like its a rag doll !!!

I went down just now to buy myself a pack of Milo 3-in-1, on my way out I saw a picture that made the headline, the picture of a baby boy, about the same age as my son. The boy was crying, and looks shivering. I read the story briefly, the baby was thrown into the sea by the mother itself!! How could she do that?? She is a beggar who was trying to avoid raid by the officers during an anti-vagrancy operation (in Tawau). I cannot comprehend what is on her mind when she decided to ditch her baby in the sea. What is wrong with our society nowadays? All I can think of is that she is probably an illegal immigrant, or probably not her own baby or maybe not in the right mind, but even so, I still cannot understand how a mother could do that to her own child. What happen to her motherly instinct? What happen to her conscience? I won't even throw a kitten or puppy into the sea. I won't even leave my baby for a second (if I'm not working), I would do anything I can to protect my baby, that is what we call motherly instinct, and this person has none of it. Even animal has a motherly instinct to protect their young. It breaks my heart to see the picture of the baby, it was as if I'm looking at my own baby, crying, shivering and alone. This is the sad truth of our society nowadays, abandoned baby in the dumpster, throwing baby from the building (already been a few cases in Peninsular), and now throwing baby in the sea to avoid raid, doesn't make sense, does it? What are we as a society can do in our part to avoid all this sad news from recurring again and again? Can we teach a person on how to be a mother? We may teach them on how to care for their child, how to bath the baby, how hold the baby and how to breastfeed them, in this process may create a bond between mother and child.
Honestly speaking, before I've a child I always wonder if I can be a good mother, can I give my baby the love and care that he deserve? For me, its a learning process for a first time mother. But through out this time, I grow to love my baby more and more each day. The learning process involved how to bath my baby, hold him in my arms, sing to him, breastfeed him, change his diaper, feed him when he's hungry, comfort him when he cries, read him bible stories, play with him and laugh with him. This process create a bond between me and my child. I make an effort to learn how to care for my baby and provide him with the best that I can give. I bought books about parenting and read a lot of articles from Internet. I'm a working mother and only able to spend time with my baby after work and during weekends, and because of this, I make an effort to spend quality time with him and playing with him as much as I can. I don't want to look back and says ' I wish I've spend more time with him, now that he's all grown up, he has his own friends...' and ponder of how time flies. I will give my baby as much love and care that he deserves, because now is the time when he needs me the most.
For me, breastfeeding creates the bond between me and my baby that no one else can replace, breastfeeding is the only special moment for us. And for that, I'm thankful that I'm able to breastfeed him (even if not exclusively), I'm thankful for the Malaysia's government effort to promote breastfeeding among mothers, I'm also thankful for the many information I got from people even strangers from around the world for their sharing in breastfeeding. 
It's not always smooth sailing, there are times when I felt too tired (in the early months) and sleep deprived, having my mother and husband and a helper around to take shift when I needed them to really helps a lot. It is important to have at least one more person to help especially in the early months. You can't handle everything yourself, even if you can, stress will eventually get to you and you will eventually create a sense of resentment towards your child.
Dear mothers everywhere, you can buy the best toy in the world for your baby, but at the end of the day, he only wants your companion and your love. Even if he has a hundred toy lying around for him, without someone (a mother) to play with him and laugh with him, its just going to a meaningless thing lying around. This is the time for you to nurture him, so that he will grow respecting others and loving others as you've taught him love.

Unwanted babies

I read the news today, and yet again another sad news regarding abandoned babies. It breaks my heart each time I read this type of news. I cannot imagine how a mother can carry a baby for nine months only to abandon them after they're born. The worst is when I read about the young mother who threw her baby from the 3rd floor of a building, what kind mother would do that to a baby? A monster probably, cold blooded person without any conscience. A child is a gift from God, as a mother, we've the responsibilities to take care of them and nurture them. Some couples try so hard to conceive, having to go through disappointment after disappointment only to be able to have a child of their own. Yet some other people doesn't even appreciate this precious little life.
Being a mother, I cannot understand whats on this cold blooded monster minds. I would give anything for my baby, even life itself.
