MANILA, Philippines - More than 3,000 Filipino mothers breast-fed
simultaneously in day-care centers and hospitals Wednesday in a campaign to
counter advertising claims that artificial baby foods are better than breast
milk.

Breast-feeding advocates, social welfare officials and UNICEF organized the
event _ also hoping to set the first Guinness record for the most mothers
breast-feeding at the same time in multiple locations. There already is a
record for simultaneous breast-feeding in the same place.

At least 3,608 mothers took part nationwide, according to an initial count
on the organizers' Web site and Felix Armenia, an official in the Department
of Social Welfare and Development.
