Mouse mommy totally agree that parenting can be exciting, challenging
and sometimes overwhelming, besides being one of the happiest times in many
parents’ lives.
Being equipped with more parenting knowledge can make a lot of
difference and improve the parenting experience – such as when it comes to
breastfeeding.
“At
Philips AVENT, we understand that the first 1,000 days of a baby’s life are the
most influential in their development. We aim to support parents and their
babies through every step of this growing-up journey. For 30 years, we have
provided tools to help mums breastfeed for longer.
Today, we continue to work
with experts who are able to advise mums on how to overcome their breastfeeding
challenges. In addition, we work with nutrition and diet experts who can guide
parents in the best foods to give their children as they grow, while we offer
parents innovative appliances to make preparing nutritious meals for babies and
children a breeze,” said Wendy Ho, Marketing Director at Philips Malaysia.
In
collaboration with the AEON Mummy’s Card Club, Philips AVENT organised a
fruitful Parenting with Confidence talk at the AEON lounge in Mid Valley
Megamall recently, providing hands-on learning for over 30 parents and
parents-to-be. At the session, parenting experts shared tips and even their own
experiences to help the new and future parents experience the best growing-up
journey with their children and loved ones.
Participants
at the session had the opportunity to learn and gain understanding on caring
for their newborn from certified breastfeeding counsellor Jasmeen Tay Abdullah.
They later participated in an immersive session on the Do’s and Don’ts of
bathing newborns led by Matron Ivy Kong from the LYC Mother and Child Centre.
The session continued with an engaging sharing session by DJ Yoon from MY.fm, a
local radio personality who is a first-time mother to a 9-month-old son. She
shared her real-life day-to-day experience of being a new mother, an experience
that resonated with the other parents. The session ended with a cooking demonstration
by Chef Marina Mustafa who introduced easy-to-make nourishing confinement
dishes for new mothers as well as meals for babies being introduced to solids
and also toddlers.
“Such
an initiative by Philips AVENT helps to keep new mothers empowered, by offering
knowledge and encouragement, and connecting the support system, including the
local support group. It is very important to equip yourself with the correct
knowledge from such sessions. Being a mother is indeed a lifetime journey. As
mothers, we are constantly on a journey of learning to become better at
parenting,” said Jasmeen.
Glad
that Philips AVENT is also committed as a supporter of breastfeeding for all
mothers to enabling more mothers to feel confident and reassured in their
journey through motherhood. Kudos!
