Motherhood gives birth to new outlook

This is the third time that I have reported on the annual two sessions in my career, but it is the first time I have done so as a mother.

When I got the assignment to join the two-week news feast, I had a moment of hesitation, as it meant that I would have no time to breast-feed my 9-month-old baby girl Monica.

Then I came up with my plan. Besides a handbag with pen, notebook, iPad, camera and press pass, I have another bag with an ice pack, milk bottle and breast pump.
