N2  - Abstract:  An action program designed to promote breastfeeding and educate mothers on the value of breastfeeding of Barangay Calicanto, Batangas City was organized by the class of 3B.  Fifty-one mothers participated in this one day seminar regardless of whether they breastfeed or not whether they are pregnant or not.    Their pre-existing knowledge regarding breastfeeding was determined through a pre-seminar test.  Afterwhich, a post-seminar test was conducted to assess the effectiveness of the seminar.  Pre-seminar  test  result  revealed  that  most  mother  participants  have misconceptions regarding colostrum  and  its  importance  , the popular use of milk  formula  and misgivings  about the effectiveness of breastfeeding as  a  method  of contraception,  the  effects  of  breastfeeding  on the  breast  and the  techniques of breastfeeding.  Data analysis comparing the results of the pre-seminar and post-seminar tests revealed that there was a significant difference in the knowledge gained.  Hence, the objective of utilizing the seminar as an effective tool for promotion and education of breastfeeding was successfully achieved
