Nutrition

Growth and development are an

essential part of a child’s life. Every

parent or caregiver would love to

have their child living up to their

full potential of their growth and

development. Proper intake of nutrients

plays a significant role in moulding the

growth and development of a child.

Ideally, children get a major portion

of their nutrition from a balanced and

healthy meal.

The prevalence of malnutrition is

staggering globally. The World Health

Organization’s (WHO) database

indicates that 2.3 billion people suffer

from malnutrition. Out of that, 149

million children under five years of

age are categorised as too short for

their age (stunted). Another 45 million

children less than five years of age do

not weigh enough in proportion to

their height (wasted).

The Essential Vitamins

and Minerals for

Children

The essential vitamins required would

be Vitamins A, B (especially B12), C,

D, E, and K. Minerals like calcium,

magnesium, phosphate, zinc, iron,

fluoride, and iodine are also crucial. The

most common deficiencies for children

with no chronic illnesses are Vitamin D

and Iron.

Vitamin D is a fatsoluble

vitamin

that promotes

bone and tooth

formation.

Deficiency in

infants and

children usually

presents with

Rickets (bowing of legs). This vitamin

is commonly deficient in premature

babies and it is usually supplemented

in the oral form (daily minimum

requirement about 400 to 600 IU).

Good food sources of Vitamin D would

be milk and fatty fish like salmon and

mackerel. The best source of Vitamin

D is definitely sunlight, especially the

morning sun.

13 Important

Vitamins and

Minerals for a

Growing Child

Every child needs vitamins for healthy growth and

development. Fortunately, most kids have no issues getting

all the nutrients they need when they eat a well-balanced

diet. In this article by Dr Sharmini Pillay Datuk Sivaraman,

General Paediatrician at Pantai Hospital Ayer Keroh, she

discusses the essential vitamins for kids and how to ensure

they get the vitamins they need.

BabyTalk | July 2022 3

Baby & Toddler

Nutrition

By: Dr Sharmini Pillay Datuk Sivaraman

General Paediatrician

Pantai Hospital Ayer Keroh

The mineral that goes

hand in hand with

Vitamin D is calcium.

Vitamin D helps with

Calcium absorption.

99 per cent of

calcium distribution

in the body is in the

bones and teeth. Good

food sources for calcium would

be milk, cheese, yoghurt, tofu and

calcium fortified orange juice. The

Recommended Dietary Allowance of

milk in a child is about 3 to 4 cups

daily; for infants, 5 to 6 ounces about 4

times a day. In severe deficiencies, the

paediatrician would supplement with

oral calcium supplements.

Vitamin A is also

a fat-soluble

vitamin that is

very important

in preventing

poor vision,

dry eyes

(xerophthalmia)

and blindness. This

vitamin also promotes

hair and skin growth; most importantly,

it is vital for good immune response

against infections like diarrhoea,

respiratory diseases and infectious

diseases like measles. Dietary sources

are usually sufficient. These include

milk, cheese, eggs, and yellow to

orange vegetables like carrots, yams

and squash (pumpkin). A paediatrician

would prescribe Vitamin A supplements

if it is severely deficient in a child’s diet.

Vitamin B comprises B-1 (Thiamine),

B-2 (Riboflavin), B-3 (Niacin), B-5,

B-6 (pyridoxine), B-7, B-9 (Folic Acid)

and B-12 (Cobalamin). These group

of vitamins are very important to aid

body metabolism, energy production,

healthy circulatory and nervous system.

A deficiency especially in vitamin

B-12 component results in reduction

of cognitive growth and causes

developmental delay in children. Food

rich in B-12 are meat, chicken, fish,

nuts and in a lesser amount, eggs, milk,

cheese, beans and soy-beans. Children

on vegetarian diets would need B12

fortified food like cereals or bread

spreads. Supplementation might be

needed in rare circumstances.

Vitamin C plays an

important role

in children’s

growth,

development

and good

immunity. It is

an important

antioxidant that

helps to combat

illnesses and toxins. This vitamin also

helps to improve iron absorption

from the intestines. There are a

variety of colourful fruits high in

Vitamin C that would attract kids. For

example, oranges, kiwi, grapefruit,

strawberries, raspberries and

vegetables like tomatoes, cabbage,

cauliflower and Brussels-sprout. If a

child has difficulty taking the above,

supplements may be needed.

Zinc is an important mineral that

works hand in hand with Vitamin

C and is responsible for good brain

development and maintaining good

immunity. Studies show that adequate

zinc with adequate vitamin C reduced

the incidence of diarrhoea and

respiratory infections in children under

five. Food that contains zinc would

be legume, nuts, whole grain bread,

meat, eggs and seafood. There are also

supplements in the market specially

formulated in syrup form that combine

Vitamin C and Zinc. Please consult your

paediatrician before getting them over

the counter.

Iron is a mineral that

is essential for

cell metabolism

and to produce

healthy red

blood cells. Iron

deficiency (iron

deficiency anaemia)

occurs in infants who

are formula and breast fed, especially

after they start weaning to solid food

at six months of age. This is primarily

due to solely relying on milk as the

staple diet instead of a balanced meal.

Premature babies are liable to iron

deficiencies as well. Iron-rich foods

are beef, red meat, chicken liver,

spinach, beans, beetroot and prunes.

Supplementation with Syrup Ferrous

would be given at the discretion of

your paediatrician if needed. Vitamin C

rich food or supplement is needed for

good intestinal iron absorption.

Vitamin K, also a

fat-soluble vitamin

is a very important

vitamin given at

birth to prevent

bleeding disorders.

Subsequently, after

the weaning period

food rich in vitamin

K is important, for

example, green

leafy vegetables like spinach, kale,

lettuce, brussels sprout, broccoli and

fruits like prunes, kiwi, avocado, berries

and pomegranate.

4 BabyTalk | July 2022

Baby & Toddler

Nutrition

As for vitamin E, it is an equally

important antioxidant for good

immunity and skin growth. Food rich in

vitamin E would be almonds, peanuts,

spinach and avocado.

Iodine is needed for formation of

thyroid hormones and is the most

preventable cause of low IQ and

slow development in children. WHO

estimates 31.5% of children globally

have iodine deficiency. Food rich in

iodine are mainly animal protein (beef

liver and chicken), fish and other

seafood, table salts (iodised ones),

dairy, eggs and seaweed. Besides that,

iodine is also found in fortified bread,

cereals and milk.

As for fluoride, a good toothpaste

with adequate fluoride is important

to maintain good dental hygiene

in children and prevent cavities,

while phosphate is mainly found in

dairy products, chicken and turkey.

Magnesium-rich food such as soy

products, dairy milk, legumes, nuts,

whole-grain breads and cereals are

also recommended.

When Do Kids Need

Supplements?

One common question asked is

which group of children need vitamin

supplements and at what age to start

them. In an ideal situation, a wellbalanced

meal is all that is necessary

for most children born full-term with

no existing medical conditions. Having

said that, in this time and age where

parents and caregivers are occupied

with work, time constraints often get in

the way of preparing a balanced meal

for their children. In such a situation,

the introduction of multivitamins may

be necessary.

Usually, taking vitamin supplements

would be recommended to the

following group:

• Picky eaters whose growth

parameters are not going according

to the desired growth potential

• Premature babies

• Children with chronic illnesses, for

example, respiratory problems (like

asthma, frequent lung infections),

immunodeficiency, malabsorption

disorders and, amongst others, food

or milk intolerance and allergy

• Children on a vegetarian diet

for cultural or religious reasons

(would need iron and vitamin B

supplementation specifically)

The recommended age for starting

vitamins has been advised for children

after four years of age, but for the

above-stated reasons, paediatricians

may recommend the starting of

multivitamins at an earlier age.

Too much of anything is bad, even

with food, multivitamins and minerals

– for instance, overconsuming vitamin

supplements and minerals can also

cause toxicity. Thus, it is important

to strike a balance so that every child

receives appropriate amounts of

minerals and vitamins in their daily

diet. Proper nutrition still wins over

supplements, so consult your child’s

nutritionist and paediatrician for the

best outcome for your child.

Breastfeeding

Benefits &

Must-Have

Essentials for

Nursing Moms

Breastfeeding is a natural

process. However,

chaotic work schedules,

unforeseen circumstances,

and fatigue may get in the

way of feeding your baby.

Moreover, gauging what

supplies you need can

be overwhelming. With

multiple breast pumps to

choose from, milk storage

bags, breast pumping bras,

and more to consider, there

is certainly a lot to consider.

However, don’t let all these

minor inconveniences

or complications prevent

you from breastfeeding

successfully. In this article,

let’s understand more about

the benefits of breastfeeding

from Dr Balkees, a

Paediatrician and Lactation

Consultant from Pantai

Hospital Penang and explore

the tools and equipment

you can use to make your

nursing journey an easier

and enjoyable one.


BT Guide

By: Dr Balkees

Paediatrician & Lactation Consultant

Pantai Hospital Penang

Understanding Breastfeeding and Its Benefits

According to Dr Balkees, breastfeeding is a normal physiological human activity with countless benefits for the

mother, child, family, society, and the environment. In the Q&A below, she offers comprehensive insights into how

breastfeeding and breast milk can benefit both the mom and baby.

How does breastfeeding impact a

child’s health?

Dr Balkees: Breast milk is uniquely

suited to the infant’s nutritional needs

and is a life substance with unparalleled

immunological and anti-inflammatory

properties that protect against various

illnesses and diseases. Colostrum, or

the “first golden milk”, gives newborns

an immunity boost while their immune

system is developing and supports

lifelong health. Most babies will get all

the nutrition they need through their

mother’s colostrum during the first few

days of life.

The benefits of breastfeeding have

been found to continue long beyond

infancy, even into adulthood. Children

who have been breastfed have a lower

chance of becoming obese, overweight

and developing type 2 diabetes

as adults, besides having a higher

intelligence quotient. In addition,

breastfed infants also experience lower

mean blood pressure later in life, which

reduces the risk of heart disease.

What are the advantages of nursing

for mothers?

Dr Balkees: Breastfeeding also has

protective effects for the mother,

including decreased risk of postpartum

haemorrhage, postpartum depression,

heart disease and breast and ovarian

cancer. It is also associated with a lower

maternal risk of hospitalisation and

mortality due to cardiovascular disease

in middle-aged and older women.

It may offer long-term benefits for

maternal cardiovascular health.

Can you talk about how

breastfeeding can help a mother

and child bond?

Dr Balkees: Breastfeeding is not

only excellent for your child’s physical

development as it also nurtures the

mother and baby emotionally and

strengthens the bonding between

them due to the increased skin-toskin

contact while nursing. Nursing a

child leads to the release of two very

important hormones in the mother’s

brain: prolactin and oxytocin. Prolactin

(the mothering hormone) facilitates

breastmilk production and helps

moms relax and feel more affectionate

toward their babies. Oxytocin (the

love hormone) is responsible for milk

ejection, the euphoric feelings in the

mother, and lifting her mood.

What are the key stages of

breastfeeding?

Dr Balkees: For the first six months,

breast milk is the only food and

drink an infant needs. After six

months, a baby will require other

types of food in addition to breast

milk to ensure healthy growth and

development. The transition from

exclusive breastfeeding to family

food is referred to as complementary

feeding and typically covers the period

from six to 18 or 24 months of the

babies’ age. Breastfeeding should be

continued until two years of age and

beyond. This is because the first two

years of life provide a critical window

of opportunity to ensure a child’s

appropriate growth and development

through optimal feeding.

Did You Know?

T he colour of breast milk may

vary daily (bluish, yellowish or

brownish) depending on the

maternal diet.

BT Guide

Essentials for Breastfeeding

In this section, let’s explore what a nursing mom would need during different stages of breastfeeding.

Nursing accessories for

breastfeeding newborns

The first few days with your baby are

usually quite hectic, so preparation is

vital. Whether you’re still in the hospital

or you’ve returned home, these items

will provide you with adequate support:

• Nursing bras, night bras, and

nursing vest tops

• Nursing nightdresses or pyjamas

• A breastfeeding pillow

• Disposable or washable nursing pads

• Muslin cloths

• Nipple cream for sore nipples

• Nipple formers if you have flat or

inverted nipples

In addition, you can also opt for these

items if the need arises.

• Nipple shields if your baby

struggles to suckle or if you’re

suffering from sore nipples. In

general, nipple shields are a shortterm

solution. If pain persists,

consult your lactation consultant or

breastfeeding specialist.

• A breast pump to relieve

engorgement or help establish your

milk supply.

• Hydrogel pads can provide soothing

effects for some mothers.

If you still encounter problems or

things don’t quite go to plan, contact

a lactation consultant or breastfeeding

specialist for further advice.

Nursing equipment in the weeks

that follow

As the first couple of weeks progress,

you and your child should be getting

more accustomed to one another.

The number of feeds can be frequent

and time-consuming. Here are a few

things to make life easier and more

comfortable as you progress:

• Nursing chair so that you and your

child can feel more relaxed

• Use a breastfeeding app to keep

track of meals

• Have a steady supply of disposable

or washable nursing pads

Baby feeding accessories for

producing milk

There will come a time when you may

want to supply or store more milk

for your baby, which means you will

require a breast pump. The type of

pump you’ll need depends on your

situation and how much milk you want

to produce.

Apart from the pump, you may also

need:

• A steam or cold-water sanitiser

• Microwave sanitising bags and

cooler bags

• Breast milk storage bags

• A hands-free pumping bra


BT Guide

Dr Balkees recommends these storage

containers to store breast milk properly:

• Hard-sided containers: Usually made

from hard plastic or glass, these are

the preferred containers for longterm

human milk storage. Choose

one with an airtight seal.

• Plastic bags (specifically designed

for breast milk storage: Only use

this option for short-term use as

they may spill, leak, or become

contaminated more easily than hardsided

containers.

“Wash your hands before expressing

milk. Store in small portions (60-120

ml) to minimise waste.

Consider storing smaller portions (30-

60 ml) each for unexpected situations.

A small amount of milk can keep a

baby happy until the mom comes to

nurse the baby. You may combine

breast milk expressed throughout the

day to get the desired volume in a

container. Chill the newly expressed

milk for at least 1 hour in the main

body of the refrigerator or in a cooler

with ice or ice packs, and then add it to

previously chilled milk expressed on the

same day. Do not add warm breast milk

to frozen milk because it will partially

thaw the frozen milk. Also, do not mix

milk from other days. Leave some room

at the top of a container because breast

milk expands as it freezes. Also, label

containers clearly with the date using

waterproof labels and ink, if possible,”

Dr Balkees advises.

Take Note!

Milk will “separate” during

storage. The top of the milk

(the cream) will look thicker

and whiter. Gently swirl the

container to mix the separated

milk but avoid vigorously

shaking the container.

Special Feature

DatO' Dr Sheikh Muszaphar:

Family Comes First

Malaysia’s Angkasawan, Dato' Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor Sheikh Mustapha, is

an orthopaedic surgeon who became the first Malaysian to go into space. Today, he

is also an author, restaurateur, model and speaker, as well as a devoted husband and

father to six children. In this special feature, he shares his insights and experience

on parenting, his work, and future plans.


Special Feature

What

the mind

believes,

the body

achieves.

Can you tell us what you have been

busy with recently?

I’ve been pretty busy with my restaurant (Restoran Rebung

Chef Ismail) and my role as a fellow researcher and lecturer

at UKM. As the Founder of Afyaa, I have also been sharing

health-related insights with the public. Work aside, my kids

are my priority. Thus, my wife and I try to spend as much time

as possible with them. We enjoy watching them grow up and

helping to bring out the best in them. Both of us are doctors,

so it’s been quite hard to juggle our time. However, we do

our best as we do not want to miss out on crucial parts of the

parenting journey.

Your professional journey has been

incredibly inspiring. Can you share

what led you to transition from one

career path to another?

I always believe in trying new things. Once you’ve succeeded

in something, you should try a different field. For me, once

I’ve achieved my goal of being a doctor, I decided to pursue

my dream of becoming an astronaut. Now, I’m transitioning

into parenthood and parenting. Always pushing yourself and

trying new things are what truly inspire me to keep going. I

do not live in my comfort zone. My next target is to become a

pilot in two years and work in Africa.

Let’s talk about your passion as a

parent. Tell us more about how you

raise your kids. For example, what

do you do to build a stronger bond

with them?

I encourage my kids to try different activities such as

swimming, taekwondo, music, and so on. Guiding them

to do their very best is important. You also need to be

knowledgeable about parenting, and you need to have

plans. From short-term goals to long-term goals, these will

help the parenting process. I think if your relationship with

them is built on a solid foundation, you can ensure a strong

bond with them even when they grow older. Even though

I’m very strict when it comes to their education, I still

encourage open communication.


Special Feature

In hindsight, my kids are doing very well. The eldest is Bella,

who’s 10, and the second is Tasha, who’s 9. We have two

pairs of twins: 5-year-olds and 1-year-olds. They all have

different personalities – this can be challenging, but we

constantly try to be there and support them physically,

mentally, and psychologically.

In what manner would you say that

your children have changed you?

They’ve undoubtedly changed my outlook on life. They are

my everything now, and my life revolves around what they

do. For example, I’ll make sure I am home when they come

back from school. My schedules are often planned around

them. My children and my family always come first.

Coming back to your success in the

professional field, can you share

more about your role as Afyaa’s

FOUNDER?

Afyaa is a functional food product that anyone can use daily.

It is doing pretty well in the market, and I am proud of the

positive impact it has left on our target audience. “Sihat

Nikmat Terindah” has always been our tagline, and this is

ultimately what we want to convey to the public. Health is

the most important thing in our life, and I want everyone to

know how this product can help us lead a healthier lifestyle.

I would love to expand Afyaa. We are now in four different

countries and we have launched a new product called

Blacktide in Indonesia. Currently, the three products we

have in Malaysia are Ryndu, Hayyiba and Sahiyya. Moving

forward, we are looking to produce three more products.

We are also planning to come out with products for kids in

the near future.

Now that we’re heading towards

the “new normal” way of life, what is

your advice for parents?

Don’t take things for granted. We may think that the virus

is not as dangerous as it used to be, but it is still spreading.

Even though we are in the endemic phase, we still need to be

cautious. What’s best is to get vaccinated, not just against the

COVID-19 virus but also to prevent other diseases. A healthy

diet is also essential instead of just relying on medication

when you’re sick. Simply put, prevention is better than cure.

What is your favourite quote/motto?

“What the mind believes, the body achieves.”

VERDURE HEALTHCARE

Fertility Solutions for Boosting Your Natural Pregnancy Rate

For couples who can’t conceive, they may turn to IVF as a viable solution. Unfortunately, IVF has only a 15% success rate

and can put a serious dent in the wallet. Verdure Healthcare has a much better solution: the Home Artificial Insemination

IUI Kit to boost your natural pregnancy rate safely and rapidly by up to 50% at just 1/50 of the price you would pay for IVF.

Ideal for those facing poor male sperm quality, low sperm volume, and high rates of sperm deformity, this kit also helps

female partners with a high rate of antibodies that eliminate sperm cells.

Convenient and easy to use, the Home Artificial Insemination IUI Kit enables couples to administer artificial insemination

on their own via just three very simple steps in the comfort of their home. Additionally, this 100% medically safe IUI kit can

be used together with VHC Formula Fertility Supplements to further increase the chances of getting pregnant. However, if

there’s still no result after six months of using the kit and supplements, Verdure Healthcare highly recommends going for

an in-depth medical diagnosis by Dr Terrenz H’ng PhD, a well-known Malaysian Fertility Specialist, to get to the root of your

fertility problem.

To date, Verdure Healthcare Consultancy Sdn Bhd is probably the only Fertility Specialist Consultancy in Asia providing

personalised solutions and integrated medicine for the treatment of Infertility and Eugenics. Apart from combining the

best practices from Chinese and Western medicine to maximise healing efforts for infertile couples, Verdure Healthcare also

collaborates with seven of the most well-known fertility clinics across Malaysia, along with the nation’s largest health

screening laboratories and the best DNA Laboratories in Malaysia.

NiPT and Genetic

Counselling Service

VERDURE HEALTHCARE

Genetic Screening Services for Your Pregnancy Journey

Verdure Healthcare, a leading Fertility Specialist Consultancy in Asia in Malaysia, provides a range of screenings and tests

to help couples who are starting their pregnancy journey. One of the most essential tests for expecting mothers would be

the NiPT (Non-invasive Prenatal Test), which offers up to 99% accuracy in determining whether the fetus has congenital

genetic diseases and defects. This test can detect all (23 pairs) of the baby’s chromosomes (gene carriers) and 84 most common

genetic diseases in Asia from as early as the 9th week of pregnancy!

For couples looking to conceive, the Pre-pregnancy DNA Screening is highly important to determine the probability of your

future child inheriting a genetic disease. As the test can screen 420 of Asia’s most common congenital disease genes, the

results can help you decide on the best fertility programme. In addition, if you have concerns about carrying the cancer

gene and passing along to your future child, the Pre-pregnancy Cancer Genetic Test screens up to 82 cancer genes, helping

you plan for a healthy baby early on.

Many factors contribute to infertility, but the root cause is often not apparent. The good news is, the answer may be in our

genes. Here’s where The Reprogene Infertility Screening is extremely useful to rapidly screen for the 13 fertility-related

genes (seven in women, six in men) that are causing difficulties in conceiving.

If you’re planning to begin your pregnancy journey with a peace of mind, make an appointment with Adam Hung, Verdure

Healthcare’s Harvard Cancer Genetics Specialist, to learn more about genetic screening and how they can help you.

Baby Head Shaping Pillow

Beauty Shape Baby

The Ideal Pillow for Baby’s Head

Many parents may expect their newborns to be born with perfectly round heads. However, as infants are born with soft

skulls, their tiny heads will take some time to become fully formed.

At this time, it is crucial to ensure your little one’s head develops normally and prevent plagiocephaly, a condition in which

the baby’s head is flattened on one side, causing it to look asymmetrical. It also will affect your baby’s fontanelle closure,

leading to brain development issues. In some serious cases, affected brain nerves may lead to vision impairment and a

decrease in listening and learning abilities. So, it is vital to take every preventive measure possible. Prevention is imperative

during this period for your baby’s head shape.

Beauty Shape Baby Pillow has successfully helped over 1000 babies improve the shape of their heads, thanks to a myriad of

innovative features. Made from High Quality Space Memory Foam, this pillow is equipped with a function for readjusting

its hardness, giving your baby the exact firmness it needs – we call this “ Beau Foam “. In addition, Beau Foam can also

prevent head disfiguration by distributing pressure evenly. No matter how your newborn sleeps, it will not cause the shape

of the head to be deformed, resulting in more peaceful sleep. The pillow also comes with an anti-slip protection zone on

the left and right sides to support and protect the baby’s neck. Additionally, parents can also adjust the angle of the pillow

according to their preference.

Design-wise, the pillow ergonomically conforms to the newborn’s cervical vertebra curvature. The pillow core also has

breathable features, including 100% cotton fabric so that your little one would not feel hot when they sleep. On top of

this, it incorporates a 4D surrounding design recommended by parenting experts, which helps the baby sleep better and

feel more secure in their surroundings.

Ultimately, Beauty Shape Baby’s mission is to commit ourselves towards fully protecting the growth and development of

infants and children.

Mosquito Repellent

BerryC Insect Repellent

Keeping Insects at Bay Naturally

Whether you are outdoors or at home, you can’t avoid insect bites. Most insect bites and stings are not serious and will

improve within a few hours or days. However, some bites can cause allergic reactions, while mosquito bites can bring diseases

like dengue or malaria. That’s why it’s handy to have BerryC Insect Repellent with you to keep those annoying mosquitoes

and bugs away.

Made from the highest grade of Natural Australian Tea Tree Oil and Eucalyptus Lavender extract, this repellent is highly

effective in repelling mosquitoes and general insects like ticks, ants, gnats, fruit flies and even bed bugs. The tea tree oil

works by masking your scent from the insect, making you unattractive to them and thus, keeping them away.

With its DEET-free formula, BerryC Insect Repellent is suitable for all skin types and has the unique property of relieving

the sting and itch from bug bites. In addition, you can use it on multiple surfaces, including on your garments, socks,

hiking beds, tents and netting. A single application provides an excellent protective barrier for up to two hours with a

natural lavender scent. It also contains antibacterial properties, and the formula is non-sticky, non-flammable and waterbased

– hence, it won’t stain surfaces, pose a low fire risk and is a safer product for the environment. The repellent is

easy to apply: shake it before use, spray twice directly on your skin, surface or clothing and respray every two hours for

continuous protection.

Neuroscience Learning

Activbot Learning Systems

A Journey of Multisensory Learning

During the first 2000 days, the brain of a child rapidly grows and develops. Thus, it’s important to invest in effective learning

tools like ACTIVBOT to ensure our little ones can build a strong foundation for future learning. A multisensory learning

tool, ACTIVBOT is created to make learning at home effective and fun, especially when online learning is becoming an

integral part of our young learner’s life.

To address the emerging need for effective and engaging online learning strategies, ACTIVBOT is fully ready to facilitate

learning based on a blended learning approach via a system called DIPES (Dynamic, International, Proven Platform, Education,

Systems). Blended learning refers to the practice of using both online and in-person learning experiences. Through the

DIPES system, various aspects of this learning method are incorporated, offering students convenience and flexibility, selfpaced

learning, accelerated learning, deeper understanding of course contents, and fostering a curiosity about learning.

Through ACTIVBOT, kids are guided through different learning systems according to their age groups. For babies below 18

months, the combination of the AI Reading Pen and baby books helps toddlers in brain reading during their early days.

From 18 months to 2 years old, the pen and a complete bookset help them develop listening and speaking skills in dual

languages. For children 3 to 5, the AI Reading Pen would already set a strong foundation for them to start reading with

ACTIVBOT and delve into an array of quality learning programmes. By 6 years old, children can master 3 languages confidently

in reading and writing. Time saved in acquiring languages can be well spent in STEM and other 21st century skills such as

speaking confidently via the speakers in AI Pen and ACTIVBOT.

Kid’s Public Speaking

Programme

IGS English

Public Speaking Excellence

Even to this day, people, including kids, shy away from communicating in English due to a lack of proficiency. Nevertheless,

parents do understand that English language proficiency is crucial to their children’s future success – particularly if they

desire a bright and budding future for them. Public speaking skills can be a great way to hone a student’s English proficiency.

Apart from this, public speaking also offers a host of other benefits – for example, boosting self-confidence, fostering critical

thinking and leadership skills, and helping young learners be better at communicating and connecting with others.

With its award-winning Kids’ Public Speaking Programme, IGS English has been instrumental in helping children overcome

their insecurities and speak out with confidence. In this programme, a variety of fun-filled activities are provided to help

young learners identify and use appropriate body language, voice projection and eye contact. This is achieved through a

series of role-playing, story-telling, presentations, and public speaking exercises to train young speakers to be more poised

in holding conversations, speaking to a group of people, and debating in proper English.

“We are proud of the quality of our teaching as our teachers have TEFL/TESL qualification or equivalent. Some of our teachers

are also speakers at national conferences in education,” IGS English says. “We aim to mould future leaders who are confident

in communication. We emphasise using language and skills in public speaking and presentation along with shaping and

Paving the Way for Your Child’s Future

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and related developmental delays including speech delays, behavior and social challenges

affect children differently particularly due to severity and functionality of each child. Evidence-based early intervention,

primarily Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), provided in ABC (Autism Behavioural Centre), is the gold standard in autism

treatment and related developmental delays due to longitudinal studies supporting its effectiveness when intervention

begins early and intensively; 30-42 hours of 1:1 therapy weekly. For best outcomes, early intervention is crucial to ensure

children are able to achieve milestones according to their age and eventually reintegrate into mainstream education settings.

ABC is Malaysia’s leading intervention centre located in Bangsar and Sunway Geo, delivering international standards of

early intervention through PaTTAN (Pennsylvania Training and Technical Assistance Network) technology. Under the direct

supervision of a Board-Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA), ABC supports both local and international students. With

PaTTAN in place, they have built an effective intervention system to cater to Malaysia’s growing demand for quality special

Comprehensive English Programmes

As a global language, English plays a significant role in a child’s education and future. High proficiency in English is one

of the keys to opening more doors of opportunity to give young learners a distinct advantage in their future undertakings.

Unfortunately, a good grasp of English is still lacking amongst children – most still struggle with speaking, reading and

writing in this language.

IGS English understands these challenges and addresses them with an exciting range of enrichment programmes aimed

at training children to be great readers and creative, passionate writers. For example, Oxford English helps your children

master fluent English speaking skills, while Public Speaking courses take it to another level via story-telling, public speaking,

presentation, role-playing, daily conversation, debate and drama skills. For kids interested in writing, the Creative Writing

module is formulated to equip students and advanced writers with the essential skills to weave enthralling stories. The

popular Speech & Drama programme, on the other hand, adopts a unique syllabus from Music Tree, which utilises music

as a medium.

Parents can rest assured that at IGS English, their little ones receive ample guidance throughout their lessons to empower

them with language skills that would benefit them in a myriad of ways. “Our teachers have been with us for many years

as they are passionate in what they teach, which gets the students interested and even excited about what they are

learning,” the centre says.

Bump to Birth

9 Months

5 Ways to

Ensure a

Healthy

Posture

During

Pregnancy

Physiological changes during pregnancy can

affect posture. As a pregnant woman’s body

weight increases by 15-25%, this will cause a

significant burden on the tendons, ligaments, and

joints. During pregnancy, a mother’s enlarged

womb and increased breast volume will also

shift the body’s centre of gravity to the front.

Furthermore, the pelvis is tilted simultaneously,

and along with increased lumbar lordosis, her

posture can be affected.

Taking all this into consideration, good

posture during pregnancy is important

to keep the spine in proper alignment.

This will improve blood flow and nerve

function as well as support the muscles,

ligaments, and tendons.

Good vs Bad Posture

Women with a habit of using correct

posture are less likely to experience

related back and neck pain when she is

pregnant. When we talk about posture,

it refers to the position in which we

hold our body while standing, sitting,

or lying down.

Good posture means ensuring these

positions would place the least

strain on our muscles and ligaments,

especially while moving or performing

weight-bearing activities. The key

to good posture is making sure the

position of the spine is in its normal

and natural curvature.

On the flip side, a bad posture is

when our spine is in an unnatural

position, in which the curves are

overemphasised, resulting in pressure

or strain to muscles, joints and

ligaments. Prolonged bad posture may

result in build-up stress on these tissues

and cause long-term complications.

Some of the effects of bad posture

include chronic back pain, neck pain

and headaches, poor sleep, disrupted

digestion, lack of motivation, and

impaired lung function.

How to Maintain

Healthy Posture During

Pregnancy

To prevent the effects of bad posture,

it’s essential to be aware of how we

carry ourselves each day and implement

healthy postural habits early on. When

you are pregnant, this becomes even

more crucial to minimise pain in your

body, leading to a smoother pregnancy.

Here are five ways to ensure healthy

postures, whether you are sitting,

standing, sleeping, or moving around.


Bump to Birth

9 Months

By: Dr Salina Sany

Obstetrics And Gynaecology (O&G),

Hospital Pantai Sungai Petani

1. Standing

Pregnant women should

always maintain a pelvic

tilt at all times to avoid the

lower back from swaying

forward. Contract the

abdominal muscles and

buttock to act as a natural

corset for the lower

back. Tuck in the chin

and ensure the ears

are in a straight line

with the shoulders.

2. Sitting

An incorrect sitting position in pregnant

women can lead to backaches.

Maintain a pelvic tilt and avoid

slouching when sitting. Sit up with your

back straight and your shoulders back.

Buttocks should touch the back of the

chair to distribute your body weight

evenly on both hips. Ideally, you should

sit back on a chair with the length of

the thigh supported by the seat. The

knees should be at the same level or

slightly lower than the hips, while the

feet should touch the floor. Do not

cross your legs while sitting, as this can

impact blood circulation.

3. Lying/sleeping down

on the side

Lying or sleeping on the side is an

excellent position to take the stress off

the spine. This position facilitates better

blood flow to the placenta, giving

adequate circulation to the baby in

the uterus. To maintain a good spinal

posture when lying down on the side,

place a pillow between the legs to

support the weight of the top leg and

decrease lower back strain. You can

also put a pillow under the abdomen to

support the weight of the womb.

4. Lying/sleeping down

on the back

Avoid lying or sleeping on your back

as the enlarged uterus will compress

the large blood vessels and reduce

blood flow and oxygen to the placenta

and baby. This position has been

associated with the risk of stillbirth

in late pregnancy. It can also increase

unpleasant symptoms such as dizziness

and heartburn. However, if you need to

lie on the back, elevate the head and

place a pillow under your knees. Keep

the knees bent to help tilt the pelvis

and flatten the back.

5. Lifting or bending

things

Pregnancy hormones often soften

ligaments and joints, making pregnant

women prone to back strain. Thus,

bending down can potentially injure

your muscles. To pick up an object that

is lower than the level of your waist,

keep the back straight and bend at your

knees and hips. Do not bend forward

at the waist with your knees straight.

Stand with a wide stance close to the

object you are trying to pick up and

keep your feet firm on the ground. To

lower the object, tighten your stomach

muscles and bend your hips and knees.

Remember not to lean forward.

Loosened ligaments, increased weight

and changes in a pregnant body can

lead to discomfort in the back and

other parts of the body. If you don’t

practise proper muscular support, it

can even cause prolonged pain and

other ailments in the long run. Always

pay attention to how your body feels

and adjust how you move or position

yourself. If you are unsure what to do

or have been feeling any pain in your

body, consult your ob-gyn.

Tips to Improve

Posture

• Avoid standing in one

position for an extended

period of time.

• Wear low-heeled and

comfortable shoes. Avoid

high heels as they can

cause the body weight to

shift forward.

• When performing any task

that requires prolonged

standing, keep one foot up

on a step stool or sit on a

high chair to decrease the

sway in your lower back.

• Avoid sitting in the same

position for more than

30 minutes. Take a break,

stretch and walk around.

• Do not twist at the waist

while sitting. Turn your

whole body instead.

• When switching to a

standing position while

sitting on a chair, move to

the front of the seat. Stand

up by straightening both

legs. Avoid bending forward

at the waist level.

Diaper Care

for First-Time

Parents

Diaper care can present a steep learning curve, particularly

for first-time parents who struggle with which diapers to

buy, sizes and poop duty. Diaper-related issues, notably

rashes or redness, can increase the level of difficulty.

Here are some essential diapering tips from Dr Hemlatha

Subramaniam, a Paediatrician from Pantai Hospital Sungai

Petani, to make the task much more manageable.

Establish a diaper

system

Some parents simply split their

diapering patrol between night and

day, while some fathers take on the

task anytime they’re home when it

happens. Find a system that works

for your and your spouse. A standard

diapering routine generally comprises

these steps:

1. Unsnap onesie.

2. Undo diaper.

3. Wipe excess away using a diaper.

4. Clean with a wet wipe.

5. Wrap everything to dispose of in the

diaper and discard it.

6. Apply cream.

7. Put on a new diaper and dress

your baby.

TAKE NOTE!

Nappy changes should

occur at regular intervals

(where clinically

appropriate) to avoid

irritation to the perineal

skin environment.

There are variations in a diapering

routine based on skin care regimen and

diaper type. Nevertheless, it is important

to develop a consistent routine and do it

the same way every time.

Choose the right

diaper size

Disposable nappies are preferred as

they offer various diaper sizes to better

fit a child as they grow. Some kids

might need a larger diaper earlier, or

they might stay in the same size longer

than expected. Parents will need to

experiment a bit until they find the

right brand and size.

As a rule of thumb, diapers should

accommodate a kid’s waist with plenty

for the tabs to grip on to. When

fastened correctly, parents should be

able to fit a finger between the waist

and the baby without too much effort.

Ensure the diapers are snug around

the legs.

Leg ruffles are

essential

Even if they look cute on your little one,

the ruffles around diaper leg holes are

not a fashion element – they are there

to keep poop and pee inside the diaper,

preventing them from leaking down

the legs. Ensure the leg ruffles are

visible on the outside and not tucked

inside the diaper around the legs.

Keep your supplies

ready

The key to changing a kid without fuss,

whether inside the home or outside the

home, is having all the supplies on hand

and easily accessible. Nothing makes

baby-changing more awful than having

to stop in the middle to search for wipes.

Be cautious when using

a changing table

While changing tables ensure that an

adult doesn’t have to kneel and stoop

to change a kid, there’s a huge risk

to it: elevating the baby to a height

could potentially lead to a disastrous

fall. One hand should always be kept

on the kid if a belt isn’t available. If

the belt is available, use it, but remain

super vigilant.

Clean private areas

properly

For a baby girl, clean her vulva by

wiping front to back. The idea is to

remove excrement from the vulva,

which will help prevent urinary tract

infections. For little boys, you can just

wipe their penises with disposable wet

wipes or cotton balls. Do not try to pull

the foreskin if they are uncircumcised.

On the other hand, great care should

also be taken when wiping a freshly

circumcised penis.

Here are some essential items for

thorough cleaning

• Cotton balls or soft disposable

towels with warm water are the

preferred cleansing method

• A pH-neutral cleanser may be used if

stools are dry and difficult to remove

• Wipes should be avoided (if

required, they should be free from

alcohol and fragrance)

• Barrier creams should be used on all

neonates at risk of perineal dermatitis

at every nappy change at the first

sign of erythema or skin breakdown.

Dealing with diaper rash

Diaper rash can turn nappy change into

a nightmare. To reduce the discomfort

of your baby’s irritated skin, dab rather

than wipe the skin. You can also

minimise further contact by cleaning

the area with water via a spray bottle

filled with warm water. Make sure that

the baby’s skin is thoroughly dabbed

dry after cleaning.

Diaper rash is very much about

controlling moisture. Fortunately, plenty

of creams and lotions can help manage

the discomfort. Apply an appropriate

amount of barrier cream and leave it on.

Removing the cream between nappy

changes is not necessary. You can just

add another layer of cream to the one

before. Avoid barrier creams containing

plant extracts or fragrances as they can

exacerbate the rash. If the rash persists

or worsens even after using creams,

seek a paediatrician’s opinion.

TAKE NOTE!

Check the perineal area

at each nappy change

to identify perineal

dermatitis and candida

infections early.

Tips to

Choose

the Best

Preschool

in Malaysia

Preschools provide an environment for your child

to learn through play, socialise and adopt academic

skills, giving them a headstart in education before

they begin primary school. Experts note that

quality preschool programs are important to ensure

early learners fully benefit from them. With this in

mind, here are 10 things to consider when selecting

the right preschool for your child.

1The Right Philosophy

Every school espouses a different

teaching philosophy and it’s

important to pick the right school

that closely aligns with your values.

Popular choices in Malaysia include

Montessori, Waldorf, and Reggio

Emilia. It’s vital to take a tour of the

preschool and observe how children

interact with teachers.

components will serve your child

effectively and give them a chance to

discover new passions and interests

throughout their preschool experience.

5Teacher and Learner

Interactions

Observing how teachers interact

with the children is another deciding

condition. Teachers should have positive

and frequent interactions with the kids

and encourage them to communicate.

Additionally, good teachers should pose

thought-provoking questions to kids

and praise the child’s positive actions.

Above all, the teacher should inspire

children to learn and use a variety of

ways such as songs, games, and crafts

to describe events and allow the kids to

be contributors within the classroom.

4Qualified Teachers

The quality of the teachers at the

preschool is another important factor

for consideration. It is best to find a

school that hires teachers who have

post-high school training. These can

include a 4-year college degree in

early childhood education or child

development. Studies have shown

that higher teacher education and

qualification predict better overall care.

Teachers should also be positive and

Language Options

Most preschools in Malaysia should

be capable of helping kids to master

the 3 main languages — English,

Bahasa Malaysia, and Mandarin. This

not only gives your child a leg up but

allows you the flexibility of enrolling

your child in a local, Chinese, or

international school in the future.

Children at this age can learn anything

quickly and effectively and thus, it is

the perfect time to learn languages.

Deciding on the right preschool can be

overwhelming with all these aspects

to consider. Take note of what’s

important to you and start from there.

On that note, your child’s formative

years are highly important so take

the time to visit and research the

preschools. Don’t be afraid to talk to

other parents and the authorities of

these preschools as you will only stand

to gain knowledge on what school will

be the best for your child.

Safety is a priority and this is no

different at preschools. You’d want

a safe and protective environment

for your child to have peace of mind.

When touring or enquiring about

a school’s day-to-day security, look

checks, and contingencies in place to

having effective teachers oversee play is

equally vital.

Distance and Transport

Selecting a location can be a major

factor when deciding. As much as

the teaching quality and facilities are

important, you’d want a school that

is a relatively easy commute. This is

especially the case if you and your

partner have busy working schedules.

You may also want to inquire

whether your desired preschool

offers transportation services to ease

the burden.

Bayer Collaborates with DoctorOnCall and MyEndosis to Launch

Telehealth Platform for Endometriosis

Bayer Co. (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd recently launched a telehealth platform dedicated to

endometriosis, in collaboration with Endometriosis Association of Malaysia (MyEndosis) and

DoctorOnCall, a digital health platform by Health Digital Technologies Sdn. Bhd. The launch

also kickstarts a 3-month campaign that will run from June, which enables women to seek

advice for their endometriosis condition through free teleconsultations with obstetriciangynaecologists

(OB-GYN) on the DoctorOnCall platform.

Through the dedicated telehealth platform, first-time site visitors or women who have no prior

knowledge or consultations with OB-GYNs on endometriosis are encouraged to undertake an

endometriosis risk analysis by answering 25 simple quiz questions on the platform. During the 3-month campaign period,

the first teleconsultation with the OB-GYN will be free of charge. If necessary, the consulting OB-GYN can subsequently

propose a physical check-up to clinically diagnose that patient as having endometriosis. There are 10 OB-GYNs from various

hospitals on the DoctorOnCall’s panel who can provide teleconsultation on endometriosis.
