Hello again!<br />
Editor’s Note<br />
As joyful as motherhood is, the sacrifices are great for every loving, giving mom. Not a single<br />
day, or hour goes by without a mother thinking about her offspring, always wanting the best for<br />
them. Everything a mother does for her child is borne of love, for a mother only knows how to<br />
love her children first before anyone else.<br />
Here at <strong>Baby</strong><strong>Talk</strong>, it’s practically all about moms. From way before she gets pregnant, all through<br />
her nine months, throughout her postpartum period and along the way through her role as<br />
parent - we have been helping Malaysian moms navigate their ways around the bumpy roads of<br />
early parenting since late 2011, and we’re happy to be able to carry on doing this.<br />
If you’re new to <strong>Baby</strong><strong>Talk</strong>, we welcome you to join us in this journey as we present loads of<br />
useful, helpful topics on pregnancy, postnatal care, as well as baby care and early child<br />
development. This month’s issue is loaded with these and more… so enjoy!<br />
We leave you for now, with this beautiful piece by Joanne Bailey Baxter:<br />
For she had fulfilled his prophecy<br />
Spreading love, honor, and hope<br />
She instilled in those she left behind<br />
The ability to understand and cope.<br />
Happy Mother’s Day and much love<br />
