Growing Up with Dutch Lady Maxgro

Sebrinah Yeo March 16, 2021 0

The title kinda says it all. Like literally, growing UP and I mean in terms of reaching the optimal height a child should be at their age is important! That's why when I heard of the latest Dutch Lady MaxGro formula milk, surely as a mother of cute little petite kids who is not even 5 feet herself, surely I would want to try too! Too bad I exceed the age-group for this growth phase. Anyway jokes aside, as any kiasu asian parents who would want their child to grow up big and strong and tall, definitely we would want it to be all-natural!

That's why I'm gonna share more details about this milk today. Malaysia has a malnutrition problem. According to the National Health and Morbidity Survey 2019 (NHMS 2019) released by the Ministry of Health, Malaysia, the prevalence of stunting and underweight in children under five years of age in Malaysia has increased from 17.7% in 2015 to 21.9% in 2019². A study conducted by the South East Asian Nutrition Survey (SEANUTS) in 2012 also revealed that 1 out of 2 children in Malaysia did not achieve the Recommended Nutrient Intakes (RNI, 2017) for Calcium and Vitamin D³, both are important nutrients for bone growth. One of the reason why I myself am on Cal-Mag supplements for my own bones!

Hence, Dutch Lady, Malaysia's leading dairy company recently launched its first milk based formula dietary food DUTCH LADY MaxGro. A new campaign was also unveiled to compliment the launch of its latest innovative product. Themed "Cita-Cita Tinggi Mampu Dimiliki", the campaign aims to raise awareness of Malaysian children’s nutritional needs and promote regular height tracking to ensure their ambitions to grow taller and healthier are achieved, thus meeting their optimal growth potential.

Dutch Lady MaxGro is suitable for children aged 1 - 9 years old and it is packed with essential nutrients to help them meet the requirements of a well-balanced and complete diet. This latest innovation by Dutch Lady contains :

9 Essential Amino Acids (9EAA) — which are the building blocks in Protein for bones and muscle growth,
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA),
Calcium — for strong bones,
Vitamin D — for aiding Calcium absorption
Other nutrients that can be found in Dutch Lady MaxGro include Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Zinc, Vitamin A, E, K1, B1, B2, B3, B6, B12 and C — to support children’s optimal growth and development.

Hearing all these nutrients above coming from this formula milk is amazing right?! As Malaysia’s leading dairy company, Dutch Lady, further dialed up the ante by introducing MaxGro Growth Tracker application, a growth tracking tool that helps parents to keep track of their children’s development and growth progress at the virtual launch. Aside from tracking a child’s Physical Growth, the application also allows parents to monitor their children’s Cognitive Growth, check their Immunisation Schedule, update their Teething Log, and much more.

The MaxGro Growth Tracker app was developed for parents to help their children reach their ambition to grow taller and healthier with ease, and is available on Google Play for free.

In fact, it was tested by a lineup of real Malaysian mothers:

99%⁵ would recommend DUTCH LADY MaxGro to their friends and family

The taste and suitability of the all-new product has also garnered positive feedback from their little ones:

96%⁵ agreed their child loves the taste of DUTCH LADY MaxGro, and

98%⁵ agreed after drinking DUTCH LADY MaxGro, their child has no digestion issues.

The survey was done in collaboration with the Home Tester Club in Malaysia.

I wish adults my age could benefit from these and grow tall with these too. Kids these days are blessed with advanced technology to getting the right nutrients to support their body health and growth! Support your child’s optimal growth potential with the all-new DUTCH LADY MaxGro, found at key retail outlets nationwide.

ONLY ORGANIC No.1 Baby Food Brand

Teething Rusk

Sebrinah Yeo March 26, 2020 0

As a mother of 3, I always look for the best for my baby. And being an experienced mom for the 3rd time, I always keep myself updated with what's the best out there in the market. Especially when it comes to baby food, I never compromise on the quality of the product from its origin to its content and so much more.

That being said, I had to feature this article just for "ONLY ORGANIC" which is the No.1 Organic Brand in New Zealand and Australia. The thing with this, is I love how the packaging is really sturdy and of good quality.

My baby just couldn't wait to open it up to eat it. She did attempt to bite the cap but it ain't so easy.

It's airtight that makes keeping the extras convenient enough. The other good thing about this is, it has a variety of flavours to choose from:

- Banana & Apple Smoothie

- Mango, Sweet Potato and Quinoa

- Apple, Banana & Mango

- Vanilla Bean Custard

Apart from these, it also has the Teething Rusk that my baby just loves biting it for a few minutes. Atleast something to keep her busy while I cook or have my meals.

Why did I choose this brand is because it is a unique organic baby food with No Pesticides, No GMO, it also has a wide range of fruits combination that is conveniently packed in a safe packaging.

And with that I am glad I was able to get a few stocks of this to keep my baby satisfied especially during this Covid-19 lockdown or Movement Restricted Order period. For babies 6months onwards you can definitely start getting this for your lil ones.

Here's a discount code for you to use online at Radiant website.

ECOSTORE No.1 Eco Product From New Zealand Review

shampoo

Sebrinah Yeo March 20, 2020 0

Nowadays, we are always looking for the best product for our family and loved ones. However, with so many brands out there, there was this one particular brand that caught my attention the most. ECOSTORE is known to be the No.1 Eco brand product from New Zealand.

I didn't hesitate to get a set for my baby girl and it was good to say that I would also recommend it for those with lil ones. I like its no nasty chemicals and plant-based ingredients that is really soothing and refreshing.

The aroma is really calming and it isn't like the other products out there that seems to be using chemicals or synthetics that makes your skin irritable. This one smells and the texture even feels really gentle on the skin.

I also really like how it doesn't emit too much bubble meaning it is safe from harmful chemicals but yet it lathers evenly neat and smoothly on my baby's skin. She didn't even cry during bath time.

After bath, she do gets her massage time and the baby oil by ECOSTORE was pretty decent, because it does not leave any sticky oily residue and it absorbs efficiently. It's not too diluted neither is it too thick too.

I also love how it's packaging is really neat, simplicity at its best! No nonsense product I would say, because it is truly environmental friendly and by using ECOSTORE brand products, I believe we are playing a role in saving the earth!

Especially now we need a more safer product to keep us protected not just on the inside but even external, we need to really have good hygiene to stay healthier all-rounded. And I'm sure my baby girl approves of this brand too.

If you are looking for good products for your lil loved ones now or even for your family, you can always use my code for a special 20% discount off your purchases*.

Valid on ECOSTORE products on Radiant website only. Valid until end July 2020.

Ceradan Hydra, Wash & Diaper Cream - Malaysia

wash

Sebrinah Yeo December 14, 2019 0

A known brand of many parents out there who will definitely come across this brand Ceradan. It has been around for many years as a safe dermatologist tested, skincare brand that's locally available at your nearest pharmacies. Recently, I found that they actually have a range dedicated for babies and I just had to explore further on it. Because coming from a brand that is known for many years, there is a sense of reputation that is worthy of value that is worth mentioning. And I was right!

Ceradan has these variety of product that actually stand out from its competitors. With clinical studies done and dermatology tested; Ceradan actually emphasizes on balancing the skin's pH not just only on babies but even adults too. Because it specifically targets sensitive skin and especially skin with autoimmune disorders.

It's key ingredient consists of Ceramide with its 3:1:1 ratio, that helps assist in skin disorders to soothe or improve the condition of the skin. Because when our hormones change due to many factors like aging, environment or even diet, that is where our skin barrier gets affected somehow. Ceradan works to provide Ceramide back to our skin barrier that acts as a protective layer for skin inflammation. It is also because we have loss a certain percentage of Ceramide in our skin that actually causes all sorts of skin issue to occur.

Ceradan Body Wash that is suitable for babies is a very mild and creamy wash that is very gentle on baby skin. It helps prevent itch as well.

Ceradan Hydra cream used after baby's bath, is the best combination to have to soothe a baby's skin and you can also massage baby while applying the cream as well. Because of the good absorption into baby's skin, it helps to keep skin healthy, protected, hydrated and helps reduce any inflammation.

Ceradan Diaper Cream is a more premium product, that I feel is worth getting a few on hand, for home and on-the-go in the diaper bag. Because of its Ceramide 3:1:1 ratio and premium formulation; I like that it is easy to spread across baby's delicate skin, especially during diaper change. And when it comes to diaper change, baby nappy rash is one thing every parent will try to prevent.

If you have yet to see a baby's skin weeping from nappy rash then you can Google the images. But it is heartbroken to see your baby's skin red and skin peeling. And diapers are something that you can't avoid or you can't choose not to wear diapers for them. Even if you were to go eco-friendly and switch to napkins, the outcome can still be the same. This is because baby's poo and pee actually gets trap and easily breeds bacteria even if left for a short while. But thankfully, since using Ceradan Diaper Cream, I find it easy to spread it on my baby while changing her diapers and it really keeps her private area clean and dry and no longer inflamed.

I bet she feels comfortable too because I tried other diaper creams before and some textures were too oily, some too balm-y, some too sticky afterwards and some is so hard to spread over the skin. Using this actually feels so much convenient and easier to apply. Best of all, there is no leftover sticky residue and is breathable! Cos I've experienced using other brand x diaper creams, during the next diaper change, the skin beneath the cream is still inflamed but this never happened with Ceradan. In fact, the skin was very smooth and free from inflammation or rashes immediately at the next diaper change when I started using Ceradan for my baby. Therefore, I really recommend parents out there if you are looking for a good product for your lil loved ones, then this brand is worth checking out at your nearest local pharmacies.

Ceradan Diaper Cream is only available in Caring Pharmacies nationwide.

Huggies Breaks Record For Most Daddies Changing Diapers Simultaneously

Stroller

Sebrinah Yeo November 03, 2019 0

Close to 2,000 participants came together to celebrate the Huggies D.A.D.S. (Dads Against Diapers that absorb Slowly) Movement and joined the first Huggies D.A.D.S. Stroller Fun Run to pledge against slow absorbing diapers. The event also marked a success in setting a record for the “Most number of Fathers in a Diaper Pants Changing Event” in the Malaysia Book of Records with 478 fathers and their babies.

As one of the leading brand of diapers in Malaysia championed the D.A.D.S. movement to recognize and celebrate 21 st century fathers who play a significant and active role in the care of their babies. The movement provided fathers a platform to pledge their support to provide the best baby care for their babies, more specifically focused on making a stand against slow absorbing diapers. Well done, Huggies!

“Huggies believes that all parents should be celebrated for their dedication to parenting. While there are a number of campaigns out there celebrating mothers, we realized that fathers often fail to be recognized for their important and evolving role in the family. We want to shine a light on fathers’ efforts especially in helping to take care of babies,” said Martina Jezdikova, Marketing Director, Kimberly-Clark Malaysia.

Since its launch in July 2019, the D.A.D.S Movement has seen more than 11,000 Malaysian
fathers who have joined to show their commitment to fight against slow absorbing diapers. This
also shows how the family responsibility of taking care of babies has evolved.

The 3KM stroller run included interactive pit-stops that consisted of a ring toss, life size puzzle and a 3D tunnel. Besides setting a new record and the fun run, the event featured exciting family-oriented activities such as face painting, balloon sculpturing, a photobooth and a special appearance of the Huggies Mascot.

BabyKoala Labels for Bottles

Sebrinah Yeo September 12, 2019 0

As a 3rd time mother, I never thought that I would ever needed to pump and store milk for my baby. However, this 3rd time around, I would have to do that because of my active lifestyle and my lifetime passion as a health consultant that travels to places to change lives.

Therefore, I have to start organising my things and making sure that I have enough breastmilk stored for my baby girl to continue being exclusively breastfed either through direct latch or via the bottle. One of the ways I do that is with the BabyKoala Labels for milk bottles.

I love how the design is made to be reusable, you can rinse and reuse for a new bottle and it is made of silicon so it lasts longer and it's stronger.

Being a mom isn't easy, because it's not just looking after the baby; Providing the best for baby is also important. And I always want to give my best for them while I can

That's why most moms chose to leave their career to nurture their baby for as long as they can. And breastfeeding is one of the best ways to give them the best that nature has made for us moms for our babies!

I have been a Breastfeeding mom since 2014 and exclusively allow my firstborn to direct latch-on-demand for 4 years, followed by tandem feeding my secondborn since 2016 for 3 years until today my thirdborn for as long as possible (atleast years or so).

And I am one who doesn't like to wash up but I know eventually I would have to go through this path of pumping and storing milk one day.

Grateful for BabyKoala bottle labels that help me to identify which milk is the freshest and which should be stored in the freezer in due time and so on. Because my memory is not as good as it used to these days. It'll take time to get my memory back on track after having 3 kids!
