Lactating moms urged
to join 3rd ‘HaKab Na'

Lactating mothers in Dumaguete City and neighboring areas are encouraged to join the “HaKab Na!” breastfeeding activity Saturday in the city, in celebration of the National Breastfeeding Awareness Month in August, a government press release said.

Now on its third year, the event will gather breastfeeding mothers, lactation experts, peer counselors, and advocacy supporters to boost awareness of the health and economic benefits of breastfeeding, promote the importance of providing proper support to breastfeeding mothers, and create a breastfeeding nation, the press release also said.

Maja Arbolado of Dagit Dumaguete said this year's celebration will highlight the breastfeeding mothers who work outside the home. It will also feature talks on breastfeeding topics and breast milk storage.
