As the country observes National Breastfeeding Month this August, the latest national nutrition data tell a story of both progress and remaining challenges. More Filipino infants are being exclusively breastfed, and more young children are continuing to receive breast milk into their second year of life. However, for many newborns, breastfeeding still does not begin within the critical first hour after birth.

This progress was reflected in the 2025 Updating of the Nutritional Status of Filipino Children and Other Population Groups, or the 2025 Updating Survey, by the Department of Science and Technology - Food and Nutrition Research Institute (DOST-FNRI). The survey found that 54.8 percent (%) of infants aged 0 to 5.9 months were exclusively breastfed, an increase from 50.4% in the 2023 National Nutrition Survey (NNS).

The darker the green vegetables are, the more vitamin A they have. Sautéing green vegetables in fats or oils helps increase vitamin A absorption. Try to introduce vitamin A-rich foods to children 6 months or older to prevent illnesses and night blindness.

Dahil sa patuloy na maulang panahon dulot ng Habagat, mahalagang maging alerto at handa, lalo na ang ating mga kababayang may kapansanan.

Narito ang ilang quick tips para sa ligtas at inklusibong paghahanda:

• Maghanda ng Personal Emergency Kit – Maglaan ng gamot, first aid supplies, personal hygiene items, pagkain, tubig, at communication devices na madaling ma-access.

• Tiyakin ang Accessible na Evacuation Routes – Alamin ang pinakamalapit na evacuation center at tiyaking may wheelchair access, ramps, accessible na banyo, at iba pang kinakailangang pasilidad.

• Magplano ng Assistive Support – Makipag-ugnayan sa pamilya, kaibigan, kapitbahay, o support persons na maaaring tumulong sa paglikas kung kinakailangan.

• I-update ang Emergency Contacts – Panatilihing updated ang mga contact number ng pamilya, support persons, healthcare providers, barangay, at lokal na awtoridad.

• Makinig sa Opisyal na Alerto – Regular na subaybayan ang weather updates at mga abiso ng lokal na pamahalaan upang makapaghanda at makakilos agad.

• Alamin ang Serbisyo ng Lokal na Gobyerno – Makipag-ugnayan sa barangay o LGU upang malaman ang mga available na serbisyo at suporta para sa mga taong may kapansanan.

Sa panahon ng malakas na ulan at pagbaha, ang kahandaan ay para sa lahat. Siguraduhing walang maiiwan. 🌧️♿

For GO (energy-giving foods), it is best for mothers to consume whole grains such as brown rice, corn, whole wheat bread, and oatmeal, which contain more fiber and nutrients than refined grains.

Mothers must also eat a variety of fruits and veggies.

It is also recommended that mothers have enough animal-based protein foods, which provide more absorbable iron. Include fatty fish such as tuna, sardines, and mackerel 2-3 times a week to provide essential fatty acids for the child’s brain development.

Lastly, breastfeeding moms should consume milk, milk products, and other calcium-rich foods such as dilis and small shrimps for strong bones and teeth.

Nutrient needs during pregnancy and lactation are higher than at any other time for most women. For a healthy mom and baby, it is crucial that these nutrient needs are met.

Most of these essential vitamins and minerals are available in dark leafy green vegetables, fresh fruits, lean meats, fish, dairy, nuts and legumes, and other vegetables. Basically a supercharged healthy diet is what a mother and baby needs.

Breastfeeding benefits babies, mothers, families, and society—but mothers cannot do it alone. They need supportive policies, responsive health systems, strong communities, breastfeeding-friendly workplaces, sustained financing, and protection from misinformation and inappropriate marketing.
