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.

VR Roadshow

Sebrinah Yeo February 04, 2021 0

Since the Covid-19 struck us all around the world; Many parents like me will tend to worry about their children and their future. Most importantly especially on our children's immunity and intellectual development. I for one am not concerned about the immunity part for my elder kids but for my darling girl, I know it is insufficient as she is still too young to take any supplements of capsules or tablets and the likes of this. Hence something that my daughter can consume or drink that is child-friendly that gives her the best nutrient her growing body needs is my priority!

That's when I came across Enfagrow A+ MindPro, a recommendation from a friend who shared with me about the benefits of it. And knowing Enfagrow who has been in the market for 100 years in expertise of children nutrition and being the pioneer in launching the DHA formula in the market more than a decase ago; Enfagrow A+ s now being upgrade to the Enfagrow A+ MindPro formulation that consists of Milk Fat Globule Membrane (MFGM) and the highest level of DHA*.

This new formula that launch this year 2021 makes Enfagrow A+ MindPro the only brand with MFGM & highest level of DHA*. The Enfagrow A+ Mindpro’s new growing up milk formulation is timely as research has shown that the consumption of MFGM enriched milk by young children was found to have a protective effect against gastrointestinal infections, producing a 35% decrease in the number of short febrile episodes (symptoms of fever). Coupled with DHA, MFGM works synergistically to provide dual benefits in supporting a child’s brain cell connections. Now talk about brain power!

So why formula milk? Well being a breastfeeding mom of 7 years to my 3 kids, I would only want to give my children the best! However with my kids growing up, I would also want to support them with good support and nutrients to nourish their body because having fewer sick days simply mean the child is healthy, active and alert and that means they also can have more learning time and increased brain cell connections to support their learning process. In addition to nutrition, me as a parent, I can continue to guide my kids to developing a healthy lifestyle habits such as adequate rest, physical activity, proper hygiene and well-balanced eating habits to build strong immune system and further prevent from any unwanted illness. As they used to say, prevention is better than cure!

I also like how I can incorporate this into baking cookies for my kiddos to enjoy good nutrients in their favourite snack time too! Now the Enfagrow A+ MindPro launch kicks off the month-long with the amazing VR roadshow which was organised inconjunction with the introduction of the new formulation and will be accessible by all Malaysians. The VR approach was intended to allow both parents and children to take part in the games and potentially win the many amazing prizes starting from 19 January to 18 February 2021 from the safety of their homes. You can experience the first ever virtual reality children nutrition show by Enfagrow A+ MindPro HERE.

Enfagrow A+ MindPro is now widely available in all major super and hypermarkets, Chinese medical halls, baby stores and major Enfagrow A+ official online stores including Lazada. To learn and find out more, please visit Enfagrow Official Website and Enfagrow Official Facebook.

BabyKoala Labels for Bottles

store

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!

If you would like to get these lovely BabyKoala bottle labels then you should totally visit their page for details!

KITKAT Ruby-licious in Malaysia

white

Sebrinah Yeo January 20, 2019 0

KITKAT as a brand has existed for over the past 83 years and it all began in 1935, where KITKAT becomes a family of Nestle since 1988 (my birth year!).

Today, it is Malaysia's leading chocolate brand and love by many through many generations over the decades; It's also exported globally across 14 countries and the first global confectionary brand to be made from 100% sustainable cocoa source through the Nestle Cocoa Plan.

As I was taken down memory lane on the true beginnings of KITKAT and how it began to how it derived to its glorious taste and wonders today, it was definitely an educational moment for me to get to know KITKAT personally behind-the-scenes.

Little did I know (or rather I didn't know at all!), that Nestle Cocoa Plan helps improve the lives of cocoa farmers who are within the Nestle supply chain. And this is something that should be mentioned because not many corporate giants will go down to the nitty gritty to really put their sincerity and concern in the welfare of their resources and human resources I am talking about. Because you may have probably heard of such news last time where child labour and gender inequalities to low incomes for farmers is quite known to most of the world.

However, in line with Nestle's purpose of enhancing quality of life and contributing to a healthier future, their initiative to improve the livelihoods of cocoa-growing communities in the Ivory Coast by providing resources for them to manage their farms and livelihoods, truly helps in providing a solution the the challenges faced by these farmers and their family. With proper training and best practices, you will know it when you have yourself a KITKAT, you can truly taste your love of chocolate through every bite you take! I believe it's because of the passion and the love that begins from its seed right until it is harvested by the farmers with care. The Nestle Cocoa Plan operates under 3 simple pillars, which are, Better Farming, Better Lives and Better Cocoa. A 100% sustainably sourced Nestle KITKAT cocoa without any child labour, mistreated farmers, nor gender inequality in the process of the making, really makes a huge difference!

Today they have launched the Ruby chocolate that is the latest discovery and it is now available in KITKAT Chocolatory stores in Malaysia. It has a sweet and slightly sour tinge of taste in it's pretty-in-pink melt in your mouth chocolatory sensation that you will not miss. It is the first new chocolate in its original form that is created ever since dark, milk and white chocolate was created 80 years ago. Ruby chocolate has no added flavouring, colouring additives or genetic modification, it was made by Swiss chocolate and cocoa processor Barry Callebaut from specially-selected Ruby cocoa beans that is only found in major cocoa-growing regions that even includes places such as Ivory Coast, Ecuador and Brazil.

The one-of-a-kind chocolate actually makes me really curious how KITKAT is going to market it to the public and I was delighted to know that they have the KITKAT Ruby chocolate in their most famous four-finger wafer bar!

It will probably be the best Valentine's gift every girl will love!

And the KITKAT Chocolatory store in Mid Valley actually has samples that you can try their variety of KITKAT products on certain days (especially weekends); But that's not all! You also get to purchase unique KITKAT chocolates that you don't always see it over-the-shelf at the mart etc. The best part about this store, is you can even have a go at customizing your own KITKAT chocolate by choosing the ingredients to your KITKAT (up to 3 ingredients).

Popular KITKAT product includes :

KITKAT Malaysian Favourites

KITKAT Milk Chocolate
KITKAT Chunky
KITKAT Mini

KITKAT Green Tea - This is made with real Green Tea leaves to give consumers the true exotic and pure green tea flavour

KITKAT Duo Teh Tarik - This is super unique and I bet most Malaysians will love this for their tea time or even breakfast or supper!! The flavour is really rich with Teh Tarik taste of tea with milk and sugar. Tastes really rich, really really rich! Be warned! You may not stop. Smells exactly like Teh Tarik.
KITKAT Rose (Limited Chinese New Year edition) - This is Rose Bandung, really tastes like syrup with milk except slightly more milky also because of the chocolate texture that is already milky itself. But the syrul flavour gave this Rose Bandung chocolate a very gentle and sweet unique blend of a tinge of lightly sweetened milk chocolate. It is fragrant too, smells just like Rose Bandung.

Pls head over to their store because you will be definitely be in for a treat! I super love their Chinese New Year creations, particularly the KITKAT Pineapple Tart Chocolate, the taste is uncanny!

Discover Harriston Chocolates in Malaysia

Workshop

Sebrinah Yeo October 20, 2018 0

My son loves chocolate the most! Thanks to his daddy for introducing it to him (wait...or was it me?). Well, who doesn't love chocolate! It is he comfort food for many around the world. If there was 1 thing most people have in common, is their secret desire for chocolate! Especially the ones that can melt in your mouth!

Today we took our eldest boy out for a special time just for him to bond with his mommy (me) and daddy (my husband). We do this from time to time, we will allocate a moment out just for each of our kids. Because if adults can have "ME" time, why not the child too? And it is amazing when you start doing this. Because that special moment is one that the child will remember the most and enjoy the most. It makes them feel special and loved, yet not singled out. It also gives us a more closer connection and bond with them, which makes interaction more convenient.

So today it's all about Daniel at Harriston Signature outlet in Taman Shamelin, Cheras. It was quite a huge outlet as it was situated behind 1Shamelin mall and amongst the factory outlets nearby. Harriston, founded since 2005 is now managed by the 2nd generation of the Teng family; They desire to be the world-famous chocolate emporium in Malaysia.

Harriston recently launched the world's 4th type of chocolate called the ruby chocolate that comes after dark, milk and white chocolate.

It was a really unique twist to the chocolatey flavour which has a subtle taste of berries. It now comes in two variant of thin strips and coconut crunch bar, which are available exclusively at Harriston stores under the Harrison Signature line.

Not only do they sell chocolates, I noticed they also have a mini cafe at this venue too!

And for today we joined their DIY workshop that is specially created for age 3 years and above with the adults. It was a really fun experience learning how to handmade our own chocolate art.

It was a full hands-on experience that is filled with fun and joy for us as a family, my son enjoyed it very much as he learn a new skill in chocolate making. The Harriston DIY Workshops incorporates 4 processes altogether, where each session lasts for an hour and it's open for the public to join daily from 9.30am to 6.00pm for only RM35 per pax.

The workshop usually begins with the chocolate moulding process where you get to coat Chocolate moulds, moulding and unmoulding Chocolates. We were taught how to mould Harris, the Orang Utan, by adding in the different chocolate types to created a unique design to bring home as a souvenir treat or as a gift to your loved ones. My son being the creative one as he always is, he just pour whatever he chooses and his dad guide him only.

Once done, we left it aside to cool down the first layer of the mould, then we were taught how to make lollipops by learning how to pour melted chocolate unto the baking sheet with the lollipop stick in the center and then to tap the edges of the table to allow the Chocolate to be evenly distributed. Then followed with a chocolate piping bag to achieve our desired shapes. My son was so happy that he immediately lift the stick up to enjoy his lollipop but the chocolate haven't cooled down yet so it was just the stick he took.

Then we poured Ganache chocolates into the mini chocolate cups that was prepared for us beforehand and we decorated it with nuts, rainbow sprinkles, coconut shavings and raisins.

Then we were taught how to coat biscuits and decorating it with the chocolate piping prepared for us.

Finally we ended the session with the last filling for Harris, the Orang Utan. And as we await for the chocolate to cool down, we were guided back downstairs to the retailing floor for an experiential tour and chocolate tasting.

Harrison now hailed as one of the largest chocolate makers in the country, with their partnership with Barry Callebaut, a world leading chocolate manufacturer, makes it worthwhile for you to bring your family and friends for a visit to this homegrown establishment by Malaysians for the world!

Nutritious Fernleaf UHT Milk For My Kids

UHT

Sebrinah Yeo October 12, 2018 1

Fernleaf, a well known dairy expert brand since 1893, well known by many in Malaysia! It is a brand that is of the highest quality grade of milk that derived from grass-fed dairy cows that graze the outdoors freely all the way in New Zealand! I trust this brand because of it's Trusted Goodness seal on pack that is filled with the best and highest quality of milk that is worthy of a world class premium product.

My kids love drinking milk, they were breastfed since young (and I am not a cow okay! If I were, maybe I'm a New Zealand cow too, free-range style ahahahahha). And now as both my kids venture into new environment, where my eldest is embarking on a new journey to entering Kindergarten next year whilst my youngest just turned 2 years old; They have many more things to learn as they grow. And as a mom, I would only want the best nutrition for them and lets not forget the yummiest too!

The minute I brought home the Fernleaf pack, my kids literally finished it all in 2 days! That is how delicious it is, 100% Mmmmm!

This nutritious Fernleaf UHT milk, made in 100% milk from New Zealand, are from the healthiest and happiest cows back in New Zealand that produces milk naturally and fed with high quality fresh grass too! So guys & gals, it's what you eat that also matters okay~! (Of course you're not cows la hahaha #perasanbetul)

However, I must say that my kids were happy to indulge in this yummy milk, especially the Chocolate flavour. My youngest didn't let go of the normal milk flavour UHT pack too!! Even the cows in new Zealand will probably smile watching my kids drink their milk.

So if you've yet to try it out for your family, I'd suggest you to wait no more and just go get some and indulge! I need to go now, to restock also for my kids, until next time~
