It's August na in a day! And August is breastfeeding month and of course there's a series of activities lined up!
First and foremost and the biggest event for this month is Dr. Jack Newman will be back in the Philjppines for a 3-city event! This is very exciting! I missed last year's event and I am still making schedule adjustments so I can attend this year!
Dr. Jack Newman
This was last year's symposium
This year's symposium BU:MP-2014 (Breastfeeding Uncovered:Mission Possible) will be in Metro Manila (August 9), Davao City (August 11) and Cebu City (August 13).
This year's topics will focus on breastfeeding challenges commonly experienced by Filipino families, such as poor weight gain and latching issues. Aside from providing explanations on the causes and solutions to these challenges, Dr. Newman will also include a module on what healthcare practitioners need to know about breastfeeding that were not discussed during their training.
