ACTIVITIES

Mymomsbest runs online but as a group, we try to meet up with each other as often as we can. Since the inception of Msianursingmom on February, 10th 2003 until February 2004, the group of mothers have organised several activities. Some of them are :

1. Get-togethers

In one of the get-together held in KL in July 2003, it was graced by a photographer from The Star! We received our first media attention during World Breastfeeding Week in 2003. In subsequent get-togethers, we invited doctors and lactation consultants to join the mothers for some enlightening talks. The latest gathering, called our First Anniversary Get-Together held on 22 Feb 2004 see more than 70 parents and their cute and adorable babies and children, all breast-fed!

2. Play-groups

The members also organise play-groups for the little children to play together. Most of these groups are held are at 'children/baby friendly restaurants.

3. Breast-pump donation campaign

The generous mothers from the group jointly collected a few thousand ringgits to purchase a hospital grade breast-pump and donated it to the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit of UMMC, Kuala Lumpur. MyMomsBest hopes to be involve in more charitable projects in future.
