PARENTING WITH PHILIPS AVENT


I received an exclusive invitation from Aeon to attend the "Parenting with Confidence Session" at Mid Valley.

The main brand of this talk is Philips Avent. As a new mother, Philips Avent was my preferred brand when buying bottles for my baby. I believe that the brand is good and many other new mothers will choose it as the first choice for their new born baby.

They aren't only famous for milk bottles, but for many other good products such as breast pumps, pressure cookers, steamer blenders.


I'm glad that I sat in for Counsellor Jasmeen Tay Abdullah's talk. Her tips are really useful for me, for example to cook soup with young papaya to produce more breast milk. I managed to improve my milk production by about 20-30 %. She also shared the common "pantangs" for confinement for all the religions. She really understands our cultures and it was a good sharing session from her. 

  
Matron Ivy Kong from LYC Mother care and child centre. This was my second time meeting  her. As I recall, she has more than 15 years of experience on taking care of babies. I was invited to do a demo together with her, demonstrating my own method of how to bath baby at home. She advised me on some of the methods and she also shared how to clean the baby easily, quickly and with fun. 



This was also my second time meeting DJ Yoon, as I have met her for another beauty event previously. Now, she is a mother of baby boy and she shared her experiences and lifestyle, what to do and not to do during confinement too. From her session, we could see she is spending most of her time with her baby boy and she is enjoying parenthood.




The last session was cooking. This is what we were waiting for, but not because of we were hungry! It's all about to get the tips and recipes for a baby food. Chef Marina and DJ Yoon performed the demonstration for how to cook using a Philips pressure cooker and steamer blender. Blenders are a must once your baby is 6 months as we need to blend the solid food into porridge. We also learnt my favorite recipe, same as Yoon - Veggie Mac & Cheese. It's rich, cheesy and tastes very nice. Adults and kids are sure to like it.




You may apply for a mummy's card from Aeon to enjoy 5 % discount upon purchasing baby things. Reach out to Aeon for more info.

I enjoyed this event full of helpful tips. Thanks for all the sponsors.
