NARRATIVE REPORT ON NUTRITION MONTH CELEBRATION
S.Y. 2016 - 2017
The National Nutrition Council (NNC) announces the theme for this years
Nutrition Month celebration in July which is First 1000 Days ni baby
pahalagahan para sa malusog na kinabukasan. The theme focuses on the
first 1000 days of life starting from conception and before the second birthday of
the child. It is during this period when growth faltering happens. Many studies have
shown a link between undernutrition, especially stunting, in the first years of life
and over nutrition in the later years. Thus, the First 1000 Days has been called the
golden window of opportunity for a comprehensive package of nutrition and
related interventions to achieve significant changes in reduction in child stunting,
underweight and wasting, at the same time contribute to complete child
development.
Highlighting the First 1000 Days during Nutrition Month in July 2016 aims to
create awareness on the importance of proper infant and young child feeding
practices, particularly exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months and giving
appropriate complementary food after six months while continuing breastfeeding.
The celebration also aims to promote collaboration among various stakeholders
both at the national and local levels for programs serving families with pregnant
mothers and children less than 2 years old. The 2016 Nutrition Month celebration
will also serve as a venue for the launching of the Early Childhood Care and
Development Intervention Package (ECCD-IP) for the First 1000 Days.
