Mommy, sa unang 6 na buwan ni baby, sapat na ang breastmilk! 🤱💖

Walang kapantay ang gatas ng ina pagdating sa nutrisyon, kalinisan, at proteksyon laban sa sakit. Narito ang ilan sa mahahalagang benepisyo ng breastfeeding:
👶 Para kay baby: sapat sa nutrients, ligtas at madaling tunawin, may natural na antibodies na panlaban sa nakahahawang sakit, at pinalalakas ang ugnayan ni mommy at baby.
🤱 Para kay mommy: libre at nakatutulong sa mas mabilis na pag-recover mula sa panganganak!

Bigyang halaga ang eksklusibong pagpapasuso para sa mas malusog na simula ng buhay ni baby. Kasama ng National Nutrition Council ang Philippine Multisectoral Nutrition Project o PMNP sa pagsiguro sa isang malakas at malusog na First 1,000 Days!

Alam mo bang long-term ang epekto sa First 1,000 days? Kapag mahina ang pag-aalaga sa unang dalawang taon ng buhay ng bata - may epekto ito sa kinabukasan niya. 😢

Ngayong Nutrition Month, ipagpatuloy natin ang pag-aalaga sa health and nutrition ng ating mga bata. Una na dito ang pagtawag ng atensyon sa delay ng implementing rules ng RA 12199, mula sa Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD) Council.
