To All Mother's, Soon to be Mother's This Is For You

Truth is a lot of women are not that informed when it comes to breast feeding. Some are misguided or they just go with what the doctors who are not breast feeding advocate/ friendly to use formula milk. Another truth is a lot of hospitals are not breast feeding friendly. 

With this mothers formed a group to spread awareness, educate other mothers about the importance of breast feeding on facebook there is Breast Feeding Ilonggas and also La Leche League of the Philippines and Beauty Brains and Breastfeeding All groups are willing to lend a hand when it comes to breast feeding awareness. And Beauty Brains and Breastfeeding founders Ms. Patricia Hizon and Ms. Iza Abeja will launch and share, how they have reached the farthest places in the country to help lactating women in distress especially during Typhoon Yolanda, and their noble mission to spread awareness about the importance of breastfeeding in the country. In the event also were UNICEF Chief Nutrition Specialist Henry Mdebwe who gave a short speech about how this international organization sees the need for social awareness about breastfeeding in the country. In line with BBB’s mission is a fundraising 3km and 5km fun run titled “Nurture Run : Awareness for Breastfeeding During Emergency And In The Workplace “. This will be held in on May 18 Venue Still To Be Announced. We encourage everyone to join this event and help spread awareness on the importance of breastfeeding for every moms who have babies, no matter what their status of living is. As Mommy Bloggers Philippines are composed of moms, we share BBB’s compassion and vision to help specially those who live in the remote areas who aren’t educated how easier, safer and much healthier breastfeeding is than infant formula.
