For this year’s Synchronized Breastfeeding Worldwide (SBW), the Department of Education (DepEd) mobilizes all public and private elementary and secondary schools nationwide as venue for the celebration.
DepEd Secretary Jesli Lapus calls on all school administrators to prepare their schools for this event that will take place on October 2, 2009 at exactly 10:00 a.m.
In this year’s SBW event, organizers plan to challenge five Guinness World Records: Simultaneous Breastfeeding (1) in a Single Site and (2) in Multiple Sites; (3) Simultaneous Massage in a Single Site and (4) in Multiple Sites and (5) Most Number of Guinness Records won in a Single Event.
As per Presidential Proclamation 1113, the country celebrates the National Breastfeeding Awareness Month every August and World Breastfeeding Week on August 1-7 annually in all public and private schools. (DepEd)
