Thursday, May 4, 2006 at 7:31 AM  Philippines mothers chase breastfeeding record Thu May 4, 4:23 AM ET
MANILA (AFP) - More than 3,000 mothers have packed a Philippine sports stadium in an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for simultaneously breastfeeding their children, organizers said.
The event was organized by the Manila city government along with the United Nations Children's Fund ( UNICEF) and local health officials to public awareness on breast feeding, and wean mothers away from using baby formula. "We were confident that we broke the record," UNICEF Philippines spokesman Dale Rutstein told AFP. Elvira Esguerra, a doctor and one of the organizers, said a total of 3,738 mothers took part in the mass breastfeeding. The event still has to be confirmed by the Guinness Book of World Records but organizers said the number outstriped the 1,135 mothers set four years ago by Berkeley, California, the previous record-holder. According to the World Health Organization, children fed with infant formula are 25 times more likely to die of diarrhoea than those who are breast-fed.
