Rochelle Pangilinan says breastfeeding allows her to bond deeply with Baby Shiloh

Rochelle Pangilinan said breastfeeding is the secret to keeping her baby Shiloh happy and healthy.

In an interview with GMA News Online at the press conference of "The Gift," Rochelle praised the benefits of breastfeeding.

"Hindi naman ako advocate ng breastfeeding pero malakas ang paniniwala ko na 'pag nag-breastfeed ka, malaki ang maitutulong talaga sa bata. Nakita [namin ito] kay Shiloh," Rochelle said.

Rochelle shared all the things she loved about breastfeeding her daughter, Baby Shiloh:

"Una hindi na kailangan ng vitamins. Pangalawa, si Shiloh feel ko matalino siya. Pangatlo of course hindi mo na kailangan maglinis ng bote. 'Pag natutulog siya hindi mo na kailangan magtimpla ng mga gatas so kailangan andiyan na agad." 

Aside from all the health benefits that breastfeeding gives to Baby Shiloh, Rochelle also said she loves how it counts as their first bonding as mother and daughter.

"Iba 'yong bonding namin ni Shiloh. Kapag nakikita niya ako, hindi naman ako milking cow pero nakikita ko naman sa kanya na 'yon 'yong simula ng bonding namin. Ang sarap lang ng merong bata na kailangang kailangan ka niya, 'yong ganon, lagi niya akong kailangan," she shared.

Being hands-on parents to Baby Shiloh

Rochelle said she and his husband Arthur Solinap did not hire any help when it comes to taking care of Baby Shiloh because they prefer to be hands-on parents.

"Si Art, siya nagbabantay kay Shiloh lalo na ngayon at andito ako. Wala kaming yaya so siya ang nakakatulong sa 'kin," Rochelle shared.

The former SexBomb dancer said Arthur has been an excellent hands-on father to Shiloh.

"Sa bigat ni Shiloh nabubuhat niya si Shiloh ng matagal at siya ang nakakapagpatulog kay Shioloh," she said. "Ibang klase 'yong bonding nila ibang klase kasi puwede akong mawala ng one week basta merong gatas doon sa ref so ganon siya kay Shiloh."

Rochelle will be one of the cast of the upcoming drama series of GMA-7 "The Gift" which will premiere on Septemeber 16.

Other Kapuso stars who will be in the drama series include Alden Richards, Thia Thomalla, Jean Garcia, Jo Berry, Christian Vasquez, Elizabeth Oropesa, Ysabel Ortega and Mikee Quintos. — LA, GMA News
