Dear ,

So ang daming kong kwento tungkol sa nagdaang linggo.

Kaka-kick off pa lang ng breastfeeding awareness month last week pero ang daming ganap na natapos.

Lunes pa lang naging guest speaker ako sa annual DugNay ng aming bayan kung saan kasali din ako sa 415 breastfeeding nanay na sabay-sabay na nagpasuso in 1 minute.

I've been joining this simultaneous latching for 5 years since its launch and I can't imagine myself not being listed kung mag wean na si bunso.

Pero hindi ko muna iisipin yan, wala naman akong plan mag wean na eh. Enjoy ko pa rin ang breastfeeding moments namin ngayon.

Kung nasa stage ka na nag pag we-wean mommy, sending hugs to you. Sa next emails ko, pag usapan natin ang struggles na kasama sa weaning.

Second na event is yung ginawa kong birth class sa barangay health center during the monthly pre-natal checkups ng mga pregnant moms dito sa amin.

Nasa 14 lang sila kaya mas intimate ang usapan.

Medyo kabado pa din ako kasi it was my first time to talk about birth.

Unlike sa topic ng breastfeeding, ilang beses na akong nagsalita tungkol dun. Pero sa birth, nakakaramdam ako ng self-doubt kasi nga feeling ko hindi ako authority to talk about it.

Pero nangibabaw pa din ang kagustuhang kong ibahagi ang lessons ko from my personal experiences.

Natuwa din ako kasi sobrang supportive ng midwife namin. She welcomed my "intrusion" on her turf and encouraged me because she said she resonated with what I was sharing.

Kaya masaya akong I was able to reach out to even the smallest community of moms that I can find to share my learnings and somehow help them get interested to learn more about having a safe, natural, and gentle birth...

Kahit walang bayad, it's always worth my time and effort.

Tapos kahapon, Saturday, na-interview ko din sa isang masayang live kwentuhan is Mommy Zel who shared her breastfeeding journey while working for an 8-5 hour day job.

Kung hindi mo napanuod, watch the video HERE.

At sa darating na Wednesday, samahan mo na aman ako sa isang live interview with another amazing mom.

Kita kits!

Di ba ang daming way talaga to share my message to other moms?

Kaya kahit mapagod ako, keri lang.

I'm in the planting season of this advocacy.

I'm planting seeds of hope, inspiration, and a dream to experience better in the hearts of moms who plans to have a gentle birth and/or breastfeed successfully.

And I hope and pray, na magbubunga din ang lahat ng ginagawa namin.

To more families experiencing gentle birth.

To more moms and babies breastfeeding successfully.

To more moms being happy because they have reclaimed their powers over their own bodies.

Have a blessed week ahead.

Nagmamahal,
