Baby Comfy nose

I bought this from BabyComfyNose Philippines early this year but was not able to use it until this month where Sabv is down with colds.  Karen is so accommodating and easy to deal with. The price is 750 pesos plus the shipping fee depends on your  location

Baby Comfy Nose works better than bulb and battery-powered type nasal aspirators because it uses your own suction. Designed specifically to use standard household tissue as a filter so there's nothing else to buy. Two soft nose tips are included: Standard & Newborn. The dishwasher/storage pouch allows the aspirator to dry hygienically after washing. Always safe for your child because you are in control of the suction power. Dishwasher Safe. BPA and Phthalate Free. 

The case

It has 2 nose tips for newborn and standard

Mesh bag pouch keeps pieces together

It is one of the best-designed and most effective nasal aspirator available on the market today

Join our province Breastfeeding support group - Nueva Ecija Breastfriends

Hakab na 2015 Nueva Ecija

Lactating mothers in Nueva Ecija and neighboring areas are encouraged to join the “HaKab Na!” breastfeeding activity Saturday in the city, in celebration of the National Breastfeeding Awareness Month in August.  They have support group in the province called Nueva Ecija Breastfriends.

Why Hakab? It's simply because the word means latch, and in breastfeeding a good latch is necessary for the baby to be able to draw milk from the breasts.

This is our first time to join the event which is a part of the Big Latch on - groups of breastfeeding women coming together at registered locations around the world to all latch on their child at a set time.

Earlier today, a total of 16 mom and  18 baby pairs latched simultaneously for a minute. Yes - we have two mom who got twins. The event was held at the Human Nature Cabanatuan Branch starting from 9:30 am until 1:00 in the afternoon. There were a brief talk about breastfeeding, its benefits, different position and other important tips on breastfeeding. They had babywearing demo too.  The talk was held by Karen Palma, a Breastfeeding Pinay Peer Counselor in the province.

We have sharing, raffles from our sponsors, breastfeeding portrait and yummy lunch  on that activity. It was a success for a first timer.  Hopefully, next year we will have more breastfeeding moms to attend this event.

The Big Latch on was clocked at 10:30 am and this was done nationwide - Alabang, Aklan, Bacolod, Benguet, Bulacan, Cagayan De Oro, Cebu, Davao, Dumaguete, Iloilo, Isabela, Mandaluyong, Laguna,  Pampanga and Zambales. Approximately moore than 1,600 mom and baby joined this nationwide event.
