Did you know that colostrum in breast milk, which is yellowish and creamy in color, is high in protein, fat-soluble vitamins, minerals, and immunoglobulins. These are antibodies that pass from the mother to the baby and provide passive immunity for the baby, and protects the baby from a wide variety of bacterial and viral illnesses. With that, Breastmilk is still best for babies, in keeping with the thrust to promote, support and protect the rights of the breastfeeding mother and child. Beauty, Brains and Breastfeeding is organizing the Nurture Run, one of the biggest breastfeeding awareness initiatives in the country to date.
Ms. Iza Abeja, Executive Director of Beauty, Brains and Breastfeeding, shares that proceeds of the Nurture Run will go to mobilizing skilled counselors, sustaining mommy groups and organizing breastfeeding awareness activities as well as supporting Milk Banks through Milk Letting Days.
