Event: 6 Dec - Successful Breastfeeding (by Dr. Koe Swee Lee)



We have a good news for all mothers and mothers-to-be (fathers too, of course!). Dr. Koe Swee Lee, a very popular and well respected Lactation Consultant cum Pediatrician is coming to our very own The Breastfeeding Cafe for a breastfeeding talk. She will be covering on the topic "Successful Breastfeeding".

Dr. Koe graduated from Singapore University. She became interested in Breastfeeding when her Professor got a Breastfeeding mothers support group to breastfeed very sick babies in the Hospital 30 years ago. When she had her own children , she breastfed them and saw the amazing effects of breastfeeding on them. Since then she has been promoting breastfeeding and telling mothers and families about the amazing food for babies that make them healthy and smart! :-)

The talk will start at 4pm and end at 5pm. Therefore, our showroom hours for that Saturday will be from 2pm to 6pm.

Address and location map to our cafe and showroom as per link below:

Fee is RM10 per parent inclusive of 1 free drink.

Also, as we wish to have more parents benefit from this talk, we will take in more numbers this time, meaning that some parents will have to sit on the floor, which we hope all of you will understand. I'm sure none of us will mind, since it's only for that 1 hour. :-) Babies are welcome or you can have your husband taking care of the baby at our selling floor or for a walk downstairs or to the park nearby (if it's not too hot). :-)

Event: 15 Nov - Preparing for a Gentle Birth


On the 15th Nov, we are most honoured to have Wai Han to share on Preparing for a Gentle Birth - a topic which will interet all expectant moms - first timers or moms who had unpleasant birth experience.

Wai Han is a certified HypnoBirthing® Childbirth Educator, accredited and affliated with the HypnoBirthing Institute. She received her training from the founder, Marie Mongan, and is among the first batch of certified practitioners in Malaysia and Asia.

She has started embracing and sharing HypnoBirthing since 2003, after the empowering hypnobirth of her first child -- long before there was any practitioner here in Malaysia. Following her training and accreditation in 2005, she passionately brings HypnoBirthing formally into Malaysia. As an experienced HypnoBirthing Childbirth Educator, she has helped many couples dispel their fears and birth their babies gently, peacefully and joyfully into the world.

Wai Han is also a proud HypnoBirthing mother of two. Both her births had been natural, gentle and peaceful, totally free of drugs and discomfort. Her first amazing painless drug-free HypnoBirthing experience led her to her career. With another miraculous HypnoBirthing experience of labouring and receiving her baby lovingly by herself at home, she is even more convicted in helping all mothers to develop the art and joy of rediscovering their natural birthing instinct.

Besides managing a busy family and career, she also selflessly contributes in local parenting forums, sharing her wealth of knowledge and compassion in gentle birthing, breastfeeding, tandem nursing and attachment parenting. Her website is http://www.hypnobirthing.com.my/

In this session, we will explore all the birth questions all of us will have. So, please come prepared with questions... e.g. Why go through the 'hard' way of labour? What's the fuss with natural birth? How to birth? How to push? How to breathe? What is the best pain relief? Episiotomy or tear? What if baby is too big? What should the Dad do?What is HypnoBirthing? etc.. etc.. etc.. We'll enjoy some birth affirmations and a nice relaxation session together.

This session will be held at our very own The Breastfeeding Cafe on the 15th Nov, Saturday, from 10.30am to 11.30am. Address and location map as per link below:

Fee is RM5 per parent inclusive of 1 free drink.

Event: 22 Nov - Communicating with Your Babies/Toddlers


Ever wonder what your baby is thinking? Or why your baby is crying?

Very soon your baby will be looking for ways to share his or her thoughts, feelings, and new discoveries with you. However, trying to communicate without words can be very frustrating!

Using the Baby Signs® Program gives babies a way to “talk” with their parents, before they can talk. Babies can communicate about the world around them, long before they have mastered their verbal speaking skills!

Babies and their parents can use simple signs to communicate important things – like being hungry or thirsty, hot or cold, afraid or sad – often a full year before babies could otherwise speak.

Research has proven that using the Baby Signs® Program with babies has dramatic benefits, including decreasing frustration for babies and parents, enriching the parent-child bond, boosting emotional development, helping babies talk sooner – even raising IQ.

Come join us at The Breastfeeding Cafe on 22nd Nov at 10.30a.m. to find out more about this interesting program. Address and location map as per link below:

Fee is RM5 per parent inclusive of 1 free drink. Babies and toddlers are welcome.
