Breastfeeding duration and incidence have declined in the Philippines since 1973, particularly in urban, better-educated, and higher income groups. As more and more women move into these modern groups breastfeeding may continue to decline, making attempts to decrease fertility more difficult. The National Movement for the Promotion of Breastfeeding seeks to overcome the declines by encouraging a wide range of breastfeeding promotion activities including improving hospital practices and implementing a 5-year plan.
自1973年以来，菲律宾的母乳喂养时长和普及率有所下降，在城市、受教育程度较高以及收入较高的群体中尤为明显。随着越来越多的女性进入这些现代群体，母乳喂养率可能会持续下降，这使得降低生育率的努力变得更加困难。全国母乳喂养促进运动旨在通过鼓励开展广泛的母乳喂养促进活动来扭转这一趋势，这些活动包括改善医院做法并实施一项五年计划。
