Health official reiterates importance of breastfeeding

Assistant Provincial Health Officer Dr. Penelope Domogo has challenged members of the local nutrition councils, barangay health workers and nutrition scholars in the province not to deny babies' birthright to breastfeed. Discussing the Provincial Health Office (PHO) programs in a recent nutrition forum, Dr. Domogo stressed the need for health workers, particularly those based in the barangays, to enhance their advocacy on the importance of breastfeeding as one way of addressing child malnutrition.

Greet your loved ones this Valentine season. She said breastfeeding of newborns among lactating mothers is now declining as other mothers are resorting to bottle feeding using milk formulas. Domogo said there is no substitute to the act of breastfeeding and there is no substitute for mother's milk, which is a nutritionally complete food for babies. Health authorities said infants 0-6 months old must be exclusively breastfed.

Health experts agree that breastfeeding is more cost effective than any single public health intervention to promote health and prevent diseases. Domogo said breast-feeding will protect children from diseases like dengue and typhoid and chronic diseases like allergies diabetes, hypertension and obesity.
To give government employees who are lactating mothers enough time to breastfeed their babies, Congressman Maximo Dalog (then the province's governor) issued a memorandum directing all heads of both national and local offices in the province to establish a breastfeeding rooms in the respective offices for lactating mother to breastfeed their babies. Dalog said one reason why babies are not exclusively breastfed for at least 6 months is that mothers have to work, leaving their newborns at home to be fed milk formulas. Health nutritionists identify the decrease of breastfeeding among lactating mothers and inappropriate feeding of infants as one cause of malnutrition, which health authorities said is a risk for childhood morbidity and mortality.
