Todobebé Releases New Research on Latina Moms
Jeannette Kaplun - Founder and Chief Content Officer - Todobebé
Todobebé, Inc, the leading mom and family media company founded for Latinas and Hispanic mothers, recently released research on Latina moms.
According to Todobebé, also the creator of Blogs de Mamas, 93% of Latina moms planned to breastfeed or already nursed their baby. “This is great news for the Hispanic community. Doctors agree on the benefits of breastfeeding your child for at least six months, but we did not expect this number,” said co-founder and Todobebé’s Chief Content Officer, Jeannette Kaplun.
Regarding bilingualism, 97% of Latinas think it’s good to teach more than one language to children and 49% said more than one language is spoken at home. Interestingly, 10% of respondents said they don’t speak a second language at home, but their children do.
Latinas also expressed their parenting views:
- 65% disagree with letting the baby cry it out at night.
- 54% said children should not watch more than one hour of television a day, but 26% admitted they allow them to do so.
- 38% are in favor of spanking, but most, 51%, are not.
Other findings:
- 67% would choose the gender of their baby if possible
- Only 19% of Latinas wouldn’t plan their baby’s birth date.
- 85% disapprove allowing children under 13 years to use Facebook
- 69% dislike naming their children just like their parents, despite a long-standing tradition in Latin American countries.
