Breastfeeding Seminar

Last July 11, 2009, my parents attended the Breastfeeding Seminar held at the Medical City in Pasig City. It is co-sponsored by Latch Inc., a group of counsellors offering mother to mother support and services to take the guestwork out of breastfeeding and the Center for Patient Partnership.

The seminar was a half-day affair. It was highlighted by hands-on training for mothers who want to breastfeed their babies (see related video below). The seminar is free with merienda and a bunch of freebies from their sponsor.

Here are some benefits for the baby if they are breastfed, according to the Center for Patient Partnership: (Source: http://www.maialancholy.com)

• Fewer ear infections
• Lower risk of asthma, eczema, and food allergies
• Protection against meningitis, diarrhea, UTI, and pneumonia
• Decreases risk of Diabetes
• Enhances brain development and increases IQ
• Reduces risks of SIDS
• Promotes psychological and emotional reassurance leading to happier and less fussy babies

More practical benefits include:

• Lose weight faster
• More savings on formula milk
• Increased convenience
• Travel easier

With these loads of benefits why choose formula milk?.

Call the Center for Patient Education and look for Gino or Shirley at Ext 6444. The Medical City’s trunk lines are 6356789 and 6349493.
