Bago pa man siya ipanganak, nagsisimula na ang kwento ni baby.

Sa bawat kain ni nanay, sa bawat prenatal check-up, sa bawat yakap at patak ng breastmilk, unti-unting nabubuo ang pundasyon ng isang malusog na buhay.

Ang unang 1,000 araw — mula sa sinapupunan hanggang sa ika-2 kaarawan — ay panahon ng mabilis na paghubog ng utak at katawan. Dito nabubuo ang higit sa 1 milyong koneksyon sa utak kada segundo. Kapag kulang sa nutrisyon sa panahong ito, maaaring makaapekto ito sa paglaki, pagkatuto, at kinabukasan ni baby.

Kapag sapat ang alaga, may wastong pagkain, exclusive breastfeeding, at regular na check-up, mas malaki ang tsansang lumaking matalino, malakas, at handang mangarap si baby.

Tandaan, ang bawat pinggan, bawat yakap, at bawat bakuna ay puhunan para sa mas magandang bukas.

Dahil sa unang 1000 araw, bawat araw ay mahalaga.

Alam n’yo ba kung bakit tinatawag na “golden window of opportunity” ang unang 1,000 araw ni baby?

Ito ay ang panahon mula sa pagbubuntis hanggang sa ikalawang kaarawan ng isang bata kung saan nabubuo ang pundasyon ng kanyang kalusugan, pag-iisip, at kakayahang matuto habang buhay. Dito nagsisimula ang lahat ng maaaring maging siya sa hinaharap.

Iyan ang dahilan kung bakit maraming eksperto ang tumatawag dito na:
🌱 formative period
🌱 critical period for growth and development
🌱 golden window for health interventions

Sa bawat araw sa panahon na ito, may pagkakataon ang mga magulang na maibigay ang tamang nutrisyon, alaga, at pagmamahal na kailangan ni baby upang lumaki sila ng malusog at matatag. Sa ganitong paraan, maiiwasan ang madalas na pagkakasakit ng bata at magiging tama ang kanilang paglaki.

Sa Pilipinas, ito rin ay itinuturing na pambansang prayoridad sa ilalim ng Republic Act No. 11148 o ang “Kalusugan at Nutrisyon ng Mag-Nanay Act.” Layunin ng batas na tiyaking may sapat na suporta at serbisyo mula sa pamahalaan para sa mga ina at batang nasa unang 1000 araw ng buhay.

Ang bawat araw ay may ambag sa kinabukasan. Kaya’t kalusugan at nutrisyon ni baby, simulan sa first 1,000 days!

Follow First 1000 Days PH para sa mga kaalamang makatutulong sa tamang pag-aalaga sa unang 1,000 araw ni baby.
