How long will this particular milk be okay after it’s stored?
The local government of Taguig City plans to open a breast milk bank by December to help address malnutrition among infants.
According to Mayor Lani Cayetano, “around 200 breastfeeding mothers have volunteered to donate their milk to the barangay nutritionist scholars or workers of the local nutrition council.”
Cayetano also said, “We have to donate mothers’ milk to infants in orphanage.”
Meanwhile, Health Undersecretary Teodoro Herbosa urged nutritionists from local government units “to turn down donations of formula milk to encourage mothers to breastfeed their babies.”
