I will share that it wasn’t an easy start (everyone has their own journey), but I didn’t give up because I know the benefits of breastmilk for babies. I wanted to give my little one the best nutrition I could ❤️ EBF is the most effective, complete & sustainable way of feeding babies from 0-6 months. If BF is continued beyond 2yo w/ giving babies appropriate & clean food from 6mon, this will help immune system, cognitive skills & brain development. In the Philippines, the entire month of August is declared as Breastfeeding Awareness Month. The theme for this year’s BF awareness month ay “I-BIDA ang Pagpapasuso Tungo sa Wais at Malusog na Pamayanan,” at may apat na mensahe ang temang ito para sa pagpapasuso ngayong panahong laganap ang COVID-19. 1st, “B” ay “bawal magpasuso nang walang mask kung may sintomas o exposure sa COVID-19.” Please remember that one cannot get COVID from breastmilk. The virus is transmitted through droplets or air. If moms are not sure of their COVID status or they have symptoms or are exposed to COVID, it is a must to wear a mask. It is important to practice & maintain the Infection Prevention & Control (IPC) measures at home & in the community. 2nd, “I” ay “i-sanitize ang mga kamay bago magpasuso.” Please ensure that moms are practicing good hygiene, hand washing, cleaning their bodies before their babies latch/feed. 3rd, “D” ay para sa “distansya ng isang metro mula sa iba kung magpapasuso,” or the practice physical distancing. 4th, “A” alamin ang mga tamang impormasyon tungkol sa pagpapasuso” especially now that there are several sources of information: we have to know the right sources. Breastfeeding will also minimize trash, garbage or waste. This will help preserve our healthy environment. From myself, @unicefphils & Department of Health, happy breastfeeding awareness month!💙 I just wanted to add - to the mamas who truly tried their best but BF didn’t work for them, you do you. Making sure your baby is nourished is what matters the most ❤️」8月6日 17時00分
