hope it's not too late for me to blog about this auspicious event occurred from 5th -7th October 2010 at Pullman Lakeside Putrajaya...wide topics were covered by our key speakers - Dr Jack Newman, Sue Cox and Diana West (as mentioned in my previous entry)...
i was glad that i attended the event..i came not only to gain more knowledge and get a first hand experience from the experts, but also to build a good and establishing a network of breastfeeding advocates and exchanging views and sharing experiences with all the participants from Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Hong Kong,Thailand, Philippines, Australia and others...
as for me, this is a good experience and opportunity gain the knowledge and experience, making new friends and adapting other nations' way promoting breastfeeding...
in Indonesia, the Asosiasi Ibu Menyusui Indonesia (AIMI) approaches the Ustaz and Ustazah and teach them the importance and the technique of breastfeeding so that they'll be able to preach their communities that breastfeeding is greatly beneficial for the infants, as proven by science and it is also mandatory as mentioned in the Noble Quran...
in Bangkok, the breastfeeding mothers have WOMBLES (working overstressed mothers of Bangkok lets eat supper)..it's a great way to let yourself out, hanging out with friends and supporting each other...
in Malaysia, we are proud to present the first structured and systematic Mother-to-Mother Support group, the Malaysian Breastfeeding Peer Counselor (MBfPC), which currently have trained around 120 peer counselors and we are working together supporting and educating breastfeeding mothers and their families so that a more favourable breastfeeding outcomes will be seen in Malaysia in years to come...
even though the participants of this conference came for different background, our aim is the same..we want to empower women to choose to breastfeed, to educate society at large about the importance and benefits of breastfeeding, and working together to make breastfeeding a norm among the population...while many knows that breastfeeding is best, but some do not know how to get it done right from the start and lost their confidence in their breastfeeding journey...that's why it is important to build a strong network of breastfeeding advocates in the country so that we can reach to those mothers, fathers, grandparents out there who are in need of help and support to improve the breastfeeding practices for both mother and infant and young child..
i had fun during the conference...food was good, there were many breastfeeding books, gadgets, clothings on sale, not forgetting babies stuffs including cloth diapers, babywearing stuffs and organic and green stuffs on sale at unbeatable prices...we also had fun contests and lucky draws with great prizes offered {which i didn't win :( }
i really admire the efforts brought by Nurturing Concepts Sdn Bhd and Susuibu.com who have made this conference a success...insya Allah, this will be their annual event as part of continuous breastfeeding education in Malaysia...
