Song Dan (1st L, rear) gives a class as her second child plays in the classroom at her breastfeeding support center in Beijing, capital of China, May 19, 2017. Song Dan, a former IT engineer working for renowned Chinese IT firm Huawei, is now a senior lactagogue master, a profession to help new mothers to stimulate the secretion of milk through massage. Song started her brand new business five years ago when she had to face a choice between her IT engineer carrier and family. The advantage of flexible working time as lactagogue master made Song determine to give up her former job. She started from scratch and gave massage to new mothers' breasts to help them lactate as soon and as much as possible. She was the first batch of people in the Chinese mainland who obtained the certificate of IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant). For years, she has given hands to thousands of mothers. She also founded a breastfeeding support center with her partners to spread advantage of breastfeeding to the public. (Xinhua/Zhang Yuwei)
