More than 150 mothers attended a free talk that advocates breastfeeding as the most effective means to improve child survival.

Local and national health departments, National Nutrition Council (NNC) and SM Center Valenzuela team up to help mothers understand the crucial role they play in ensuring their baby's health and survival by practicing breastfeeding.

A mother shares her views and concerns with regards to breast feeding.

Myrna Castañeda, 39, a mother of two siblings who attended the talk said she could not believe that there is much more to know about breastfeeding. “Sa dami kasi ng patalastas ng powdered milksa telebisyon, akala ko hindi na kailangang mag-breastfeed ng sanggol," she said.
