Lactation Cookies by Mommycuddle Hub - Review

Breastfeeding a toddler is a struggle these past few days. We have been dealing with a growth spurt, teething and sleepless nights -all at the same time. M had been comfort nursing non-stop for almost every hour of the day and this momma needs help! Despite all of my efforts, there are times that I would feel "dry" as if my milk supply went low. Luckily, a lovely friend of mine gave me these Mommycuddle Hub lactation goodies as a birthday gift. It was indeed a happy moment. Thank God for mommy friends! They really know your struggles! This will be my first time to try out these lactation goodies. So if you're interested to know about my thoughts and reactions on Lactation Treats from Mommycuddle Hub, just keep on reading!

PACKAGING

The packaging is lovely. It looks like a gift box itself. A set of LactaBrownies and LactaBlondies come in a cute kraft box with a transparent top cover. Brownies and Blondies are packed individually, which means you can easily bring one when going out. LactaCookies comes in a plastic container with a cute golden ribbon. While, MQT Natural Moringa Teas are packed in a golden/tan sealed pouch. They look sleek and presentable. If you plan to give these treats to your mommy-friends or workmates, purchase it and you're good to go!

TASTE TEST

TASTE TEST! Mommycuddle Hub's Lactation Goodies come in a variety of flavors you can choose from. If you're a mom who loves chocolates (like me), I would recommend that you should try their LactaBrownies. These are yummy, soft and chewy chocolatey brownies filled with galactagogues. These are great to pair with your favorite hot drink. Yummy, right? However, if you love nutty flavored desserts, I would suggest trying out their Lactablondies. These are like brownies but without the chocolate. It has this nutty and bit salty flavor which nut-loving people should try. They come in different fillings such as Reese Swirl Lactablondie and Nutella Lactablondies. Finally, as I am writing this blog, I am also trying to hide my few last pieces of Lactacookies from my toddler! She loves munching on those oatmeal cookies. If you're not a fan of super sweet desserts, then Lactacookies are for you. These cookies have the right amount of sweetness that you will like.

Super easy to snack on and they are filling. They are made with galactagogues such as brewer's yeast, oats, fenugreek and flax seeds to help increase your milk supply. Full of nutritious ingredients for moms and babies.

So now you're kinda confused on which flavor to try first? Worry no more, since you can order these treats in assorted flavors. Mommycuddle Hub is also the only authorized reseller of the best selling Mother Nurture choco/coffee in Davao, other products offered are: Mega malunggay capsules, malunggay powder, M2 drink, MQT lactation tea, storage bags, Dula Silicon pump,Nipple cream, infinity scarves and more.

I hope you had fun reading my reviews! See you next week for another #HonestReviewByMommyKorai!

Hakab Na! 2018 to gather over 2,000 mothers Breastfeeding is crucial to attain SDG

It has been an overwhelming feeling to be part of a change. As a breastfeeding mom, finding support from your family and friends can be very difficult. We face discrimination and inconvenience just by feeding our child. Luckily, social media has been a big help for us moms from all over the world. We found love, support, and wisdom from fellow breastfeeding moms.

To celebrate the National Breastfeeding Awareness Month in August, the online support group of over 250,000 mothers called “Breastfeeding Pinays” is hosting Hakab Na! 2018. Now on its sixth year, Hakab Na! 2018 will gather breastfeeding families, lactation experts, peer counselors, and breastfeeding advocacy supporters, to boost awareness of the health and economic benefits of breastfeeding, promote the importance of providing proper support to breastfeeding mothers and ultimately, create a breastfeeding nation. It will be held on August 5, 2018 (Sunday) at SMX Convention Center Manila, Pasay City.

Simultaneous Breastfeeding

Central to the event celebrations is the act of mothers simultaneously breastfeeding their children en masse.

In 2017, the Philippines logged a total of 4,775 mom-and-baby pairs breastfeeding in 25 areas across the country. The Manila event in Araneta Coliseum had the highest number of participants with 1,686 mothers and over 5,000 in attendance. It was also the culminating event of the ASEAN Breastfeeding Forum.

For Hakab Na! 2018, Breastfeeding Pinays is expecting approximately 2,000 mothers in the SMX venue alone. There are over 40 event venues across the country holding simultaneous breastfeeding activities on August 3, 4 and 5.

Breastfeeding mothers are also encouraged to hold their own Hakab Na! events at home, in their barangays, schools, or any place where they can convene. They will participte in the online social media campaign with the hashtag #hakabna2018.

Foundation of Life

This year’s celebration will also highlights the theme of the World Breastfeeeding Week: Foundation to Life.

Breastfeeding improves the health and well-being of women and children and is the foundation of a country’s development and future. It is the great equaliser that can help break the cycle of poverty.
With no additional burden on the household income, breastfeeding is a low-cost way of feeding babies and contributes to poverty reduction.
Breastfeeding also prevents hunger and malnutrition in all its forms, and ensures food security for babies, even in times of crises.
Nutrition, food security, and poverty reduction are fundamental to achieveing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
