Maraming dahilan kung bakit hindi nagiging sapat ang gatas na lumalabas sa ina para makapagpasuso sa sanggol pagka panganak. Isa na rito ay dahil kulang sa “Unang Yakap Practice.”
Ang “Unang Yakap Practice” ay ipinaliwanag ng mas malawak ni Dr. Maria Asuncion Silvestre sa Virtual training na ginanap noong June 23 ng Department of Health – Center for Health Development tungkol sa “Infant and Young Child Feeding”. Sabi niya “Hindi nakakatulong sa pagpapasuso ang paghihiwalay ng bata sa ina dahil hindi sila nagkakaroon ng skin-to-skin contact kung saan nahihirapan mag latch ang bata.”

Maraming panganib sa kalusugan sa panahon ng tag-ulan, lalo na at mapapadalas na ang habagat at mga bagyo sa mga susunod na araw at buwan. Sa katunayan, dumaan ang bagyong Dante sa ating bansa nitong huling lingo ng Mayo.
Kaya pinapaalalahanan ng NNC Calabarzon ang mga mamamayan na mag-ingat at maging handa upang maiwasan ang pagkakaroon ng sakit sa buong pamilya. Mahalaga din na laging sundin ang Kumainment #9 na “Tiyaking malinis at ligtas ang ating pagkain at tubig.” Mapapanatili din na malakas ang resistensya sa tulong ng mga tamang pagkain, gulay at prutas.
