导读:今日,美国犹他州的一位年轻的母亲走红网络,只因她在一场马拉松比赛中,手持挤奶器,在赛道上挤奶,比赛结束后给孩子哺乳。她称没想到自己的照片会走红,自己的孩子有舌系带问题,无法哺乳,而一些非盈利机构帮助她解决了这一问题。
It’s no secret that moms are the queens of multitasking but one Utah mom decided to test that skill while running a half-marathon.
众所周知,妈妈们是处理多重任务的能手,但犹他州的一位母亲在跑半马赛时,决定测试下这项技能。
While Anna Young was running the REVEL Big Cottonwood half-marathon on Sept. 9, she knew that she’d eventually have to take a break to breastfeed. Five months ago, she gave birth to her first child, a daughter.
9月9日,当安娜·杨正在跑芮维尔大杨木半程马拉松赛时,她知道她最终必须稍作歇息来喂奶。五个月前,她产下了她的第一个孩子,一个宝贝女儿。
"I had to leave really early in the morning for the race," Young told ABC News, adding that the runners were taken by bus up the Wasatch Mountains in Utah, to the start of the downhill course.
“为了比赛,我必须早上很早出发,”杨告诉美国广播公司新闻网,她还补充说,参赛者们被巴士载到犹他州的沃萨奇山脉,这里是比赛下坡路段的开始。
Knowing her daughter wouldn’t be able to meet her on the course to breastfeed, the mom carried a hand-held pump in her backpack. Young estimated, based on her training, that she’d have to stop and pump around Mile 6.
知道不能给她的女儿在跑道上哺乳,这位母亲在背包里放了一个手拿的挤奶器。杨估计,根据她的训练情况,她可能必须在6英里时停下来挤奶。
"But when I was actually running the race, I was going a lot faster than I anticipated," Young, 27, continued, adding that she decided to wait until Mile 8 to pump. Instead of sitting off to the side, or under a canopy on the course, she decided to walk and pump.
“但当我真正的跑比赛时,实际上我跑的比我预期的要快得多,”27岁的杨继续说道,她决定等到8英里时再挤奶。她并没有坐到一边或是在跑道的阴影处挤奶,而是决定边走边挤。
In the moment, I just decided to keep going with the race since it had been a really good atmosphere, and I just wanted to keep going," the mother explained. Young also noticed a photographer on the course, but she didn’t expect him to take a photo of her breastfeeding. "I was just really surprised and I just thought it was kind of a neat photo," she added.
在那一刻,我就决定继续比赛,因为比赛的氛围很好,我想继续下去,”杨解释道。杨还在跑道上看到一位摄影师,但她没想到他会拍下她哺乳的照片。“我只是很惊讶,我认为这张照片好极了,”她补充道。
The mom decided to post the now viral photo to the Facebook group called "Occupy Breastfeeding," telling the support group that it and another nonprofit that promotes breastfeeding, La Leche League International, "motivated" her to "find a way to run my race and take care of my daughter," she wrote in the caption.
这位妈妈决定将这张照片传到叫做“忙于喂奶”的脸书群中,现在这张照片已经走红网络,她告诉支持者们这个团体和另一个非营利组织—国际母乳会激励了她,使她“找到既可以参加比赛,也可以照顾女儿的方法,”她在标题中写道。”
Young said the moment was even more special for her because she and her daughter struggled with breastfeeding initially due to her daughter having tongue and lip tie issues, which can affect an infant’s ability to latch onto the mother.
杨说那一时刻对于她来说更为特殊,因为开始时她给她的女儿哺乳很困难,她的女儿有舌系带问题,这一问题会影响婴儿吮吸母乳。
"It was hard," the new mom admitted. "I had a hard time bonding with her. ...I couldn’t understand because I’m her mother. [I kept asking myself] ’Why are we not compatible? this is something that’s supposed to be natural but just because it’s natural, doesn’t mean it’s necessarily easy."
“那很难”,初为人母的她承认。“我很难和她真正亲近……我无法理解,因为我是她的母亲。我不停地问自己‘为什么我们不可以很融洽?这种事情应该是很自然的,但因为它是自然的,并不意味着它轻而易举。”
Young said she found information and support through online groups such as La Leche League and Occupy Breastfeeding that helped the two solve their problems. "It’s something she’s never done before and I’ve never done before," she explained. "When you get it right, it’s a piece of cake. We can breastfeed anywhere now."
杨说她通过国际母乳会和 “忙于喂奶”的网络群获得了信息和支持,解决了她和孩子的问题。 “这件事我女儿以前从未做过,我也从未做过,”她解释道。“只要你的方式正确,哺乳就轻而易举。我们现在可以在任何地方进行哺乳。”
