Victims of Typhoon Sendong in CDO and Iligan includes infants. These babies in the evacuation centers need milk to survive. Since under the Executive Order No. 51, the Philippine Milk Code, government agencies cannot accept infant formula donations – from milk companies or individuals, there’s a call for breast milk donations.
Breastmilk are the only best food for babies, especially those below 6 months. Nutrients in breastmilk are incomparable with any of the formula milk in the market. Froozen milk can last for months. If you have anything to share, please check out these venues for you breastmilk donation:
