My favorite month of the year is coming up. August is Breastfeeding Promotion Month and there are several activities lined up for this month! This will be a long but informative (I hope) post. I've collated different activities from various groups. Please contact the organizers directly if you are looking to join one of the listed events.

Guest Post: Relactation is a Journey from the Heart
One of the practices that we are taught during our L.A.T.C.H. peer counselor training is the concept of YIELD. As breastfeeding peer counselors, LATCHers are the first line of breastfeeding support that mothers contact when they get discharged from the hospital. However, we do know that there are other counselors who are more experienced than LATCHers and hence, we are humble to admit our limitations and will yield to the more experienced counselor.

Mom Pop Up at the Fort!
I started my online store because I wanted to promote a natural lifestyle among fellow moms. From breastfeeding, cloth diapering, babywearing, my new focus now is having a green or an eco-friendly period. You can see this from the variety of menstrual products I have in my store - ranging from several brands of cloth pads and menstrual cups.

Milk Sharing on Kape at Balita
Early this morning, I dropped by Kape at Balita to talk about Human Milk for Human Babies - The Philippines. HM4HB - The Philippines is part of an international group from 52 countries with the purpose of fostering community between local families who have chosen to share breastmilk.
The community provides a space - where donors and recipients can come together to benefit from each other. No breastfeeding advice is given and HM4HB - The Philippines does not match up donors with recipients nor do they mediate conflicts. More importantly, breastmilk offered in the page is always offered for free - never for sale or for barter. You can read more FAQs here.

Summer Series 2013: HongKong with Kids
The last of my summer series is our unplanned trip to HK. I consider this unplanned because when I do trips, I buy tickets months and months ahead of schedule (think at least 6 months ahead!). MIL had a business trip in HK which required the presence of Mr. Ong and his sister (from Singapore). Since SIL's kids will be on vacation then, she was thinking of bringing them to HK or dropping them off in the Philippines. Because I wanted to have a last hurrah, I subtly suggested to Mr. Ong to have a last summer vacation/reunion for cousins.
