Comedian Ethel Booba went viral on social media after she made a response to the netizens who questioned her parenting style.
It can be recalled that Ethel posted a video of her while taking care of her daughter, Michaela.
However, some netizens, mostly parents, encouraged Ethel to stop bottle-feeding her daughter.
“Ay naku ulan taon na ‘yan anak mo eh bakit ganyan pa naka bottle parin. Eh dito sa amin mag one year old lang ang baby wala ng bottle nasa training na drinking cup. Iba talaga ang pagpapalaki sa Pinas,” the netizen said.
Ethel was not happy with the comments she received from the netizens and told them that they were not the shouldering the expenses of her daughter.
“PAKELAM NYO BA KUNG 4 YEARS OLD DUMIDEDE PA YUNG ANAK KO SA FEEDING BOTTLE! SAKA AKO NAMAN ANG BUMIBILI NG GATAS NG ANAK KO! PINABILI KO BA SA INYO HA?!!! MAY KILALA NGA AKO 47 YRS OLD NA! ….DUMIDEDE PA DIN! TSE!” said Ethel.
According to the experts and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), children must be transitioned from bottle feeding to a cop around six months of age.
However, this advice was not followed mostly, and the process can differ for every family.
