Celebrating the Power of Breastfeeding: Mommy Jess' Inspiring Journey

ByMara SyAugust 1, 2024
In honor of Breastfeeding Awareness Month, Mommy Jess's dedication to promoting the benefits of breast milk shines brightly. Join us as we explore her journey, the significance of breast milk, and how edamama supports mothers through their "Trust Your Body, Love Your Baby" campaign.
In the busy world of motherhood, Michaella Jessa Tandayu, known as Mommy Jess (@michaellajessa), is a true inspiration. As a working mom, influencer, and entrepreneur, she champions the importance of breast milk.
Mommy Jess's journey began in January 2023, three weeks after giving birth to her precious little one, Baby Tyler. With the determination to provide nothing but the best, she exclusively breastfed him for 15 months, showing incredible dedication. Beyond her family, Mommy Jess is passionate about sharing the benefits of breast milk with others. She has donated her milk to over 70 babies and hospitals in need.
For Mommy Jess, breast milk is more than just nourishment; it’s a symbol of hard work and selflessness. She is dedicated to promoting its essential role in infant nutrition and development. Breast milk is packed with nutrients and antibodies, making it nature's perfect food for babies. It also helps build a strong bond between mother and child, offering health benefits for both.
August is Breastfeeding Awareness Month – and to mark this annual celebration, the Department of Health (DOH), World Health Organization (WHO), and United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) urge the public to protect, promote, and support exclusive breastfeeding from birth to six months. In the Philippines, communities, non-government organizations, and brands often commemorate this with campaigns, events, or content series.
This year, edamama joins the celebration with their very own campaign, "Trust Your Body, Love Your Baby." This campaign celebrates the power of breastfeeding and the magic of milk, encouraging mothers to trust their bodies' incredible innate capabilities and let their love for their babies guide every decision. edamama emphasizes that our bodies are marvelously designed to nourish our babies from birth, instinctively providing essential nutrients. Trust in this intuitive process, your resilience, and your strength.
While breast milk is an incredible source of nutrition, the most important thing you can give your baby is love. Amidst the sleepless nights and busy days, take time to savor the little moments that will truly nourish your baby.
Remember, you're not alone, mama! Feel free to reach out to lactation consultants, support groups, and other mothers. Have faith and trust in the community around you, and seek all the support you need.
As a trusted and loved brand by families, edamama is committed to making parenting easier, especially during the challenging moments of early parenthood.
As we recognize Mommy Jess's efforts, let's support all breastfeeding mothers out there. With the right help and encouragement, they can provide their children with the best start in life.
Breast milk represents love and dedication. Mommy Jess's advocacy shows the positive impact of supporting breastfeeding and embracing the benefits of breast milk.
