Busy working mother, actress and presenter Asri “Welas” Pramawati, takes her son to work and breastfeeds on location.

Asri, who has been in the comedy series Suami-Suami Takut Istri (Husbands Afraid of Their Wives) for three years, gave birth to her first child in August 2008.

Asri returned to the set only two weeks after giving birth.

Asri said the production crew provided her with a nursery to breastfeed her son. “I can take care of him as well,” she said as quoted by kapanlagi.com.

“I don’t want to give [my son] formula milk,” she said.
Asri said her husband was supportive of her activities as long as she took their son with her to work.

“Since the beginning of our marriage, there was an agreement that I would continue to act. SSTI is my first fortune,” she said, referring to the abbreviation of the comedy’s title.

Suami-Suami Takut Istri is a comedy series about husbands dominated by their wives. In 2008, the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (KPI) reprimanded television station Trans TV for broadcasting the series, claiming it contained vulgar content.

KPI warned the series featured scenes of domestic violence, with wives abusing their husbands, and involved children in “an improper setting”.
