Minyak Bebe Anugerah for baby and toddler

It's every parent concerns their baby have a good sleep. Being mommy of two boys I understand how mommy's feel. Breastfeeding is good for baby, my youngest stop breastfeeding when he was less than 2 year old. Breastfeeding mom can be stressful when baby's none stop crying and didn't want to be feed. It is also possible after drinking milk, baby will vomit out the milk due to wind. It happened before to my son when he was younger, it was due to colic and he cannot sleep well all night long. Just sharing my motherhood experienced with you.

Baby and toddler sometimes have colic moments, it's terrible as they would cry and you didn't know what to do. I recalled the nights where my baby often cried and due to colic, baby feeling uneasy and uncomfortable. During this time, baby besides want to be cradle at the same time. Applying oilment is good for baby, it also helped baby to pass out the gas/wind.


I find the Minyak Bebe Anugerah is suitable for my son, when he was having stomachache due to constipation or wind. I would put this oilment on him stomach, just a few drop on palm and apply on his stomach and rub it gently. Sometime when rubbing his stomach with Minayk Bebe Anugerah, he will passed gas.

Just two drops of Minyak Bebe Anugerah on my palm to apply on my son's stomach

Minyak Bebe Anugerah is rich with ingredients of eucalyptusal, galangal, lemon grass, pudina mint and kaffir lime which used in traditional to avoid bloating stomach of baby. It is suitable for toddler too, my son have stomachache sometime and I applied this oilment on his stomach.

How to use? Just a drop put on palm and apply on baby body or stomach.
Because my son was having discomfort of stomach so I applied this on this stomach.

You can also applied this on baby's body after baby's bath time. Apply gently and use it when necessary.

Baby's colic is quite common even on toddler's especially they are drinking milk, I know my son likes to drink milk quickly from the bottle. It's no good as he's sucking in air too after finished drinking milk, sometimes he refused to let go the teat of the bottle.

It's important to burp baby's after baby drink milk from bottle. When baby's cry nonstop parents will be panic and worry what's wrong. No kidding this happened before to me, I used to put my son in swing, and even swing didn't help him. I wonder what's wrong, then carrying him and place his stomach on my chest it soothes him.

Many oilment available in the market but not all suitable for baby skin. Baby skin is different from adult skin, they cannot take any oilment that contained of chemical, some oilment will caused baby's skin redness.

Minyak Bebe Anugerah can be used on baby's chest, stomach, waist, buttock and bottom of feet.

I find the Minyak Bebe Anugerah suitable for my son, there's no redness after applying the oil and it didn't make him feeling uneasy. If he's coughing, I can apply on his chest and his back and even at the bottom of his feet.

Being mommy of two boys, my first child I had exclusively breastfeeding him until himself weaned at aged of three and half years old. It's a challenge for moms to breastfeed newborn, I didn't give up on breastfeeding him I started with pumping breast milk, then when he's around 4 months I decided to try breastfeeding him directly, indeed the moment of joy having my son to be able latch on is wonderful.

The mother's psychological health plays a big role, according to consultant clinical pyshologist Paul Jambunathan. Paul's wife breastfed their two daughters up until they were two years old. Contrary to popular belief, while breastfeeding is nature's best, the act itself does not come instinctively. Both mother and baby have to learn, which, on top of all the busyness of having a newborn, can be frustratng at times. This could be compounded by post-partum depression, which a majority of mothers tend to experience. Support in family and friends are important for breastfeeding mothers.

John Soo, Deputy Managing Director of Pigeon Malaysia also shares his experience on his breastfeeding journey of his wife. By the way, he's happy dad of third child at aged 50 years old.

At the same time, they also introduce Pigeon's new and improved breast pumps specially designed to provide an efficient, comfortable and discreet method to express breast milk. Backed by extensive R&D, Pigeon's new breast pumps feature better suction and strength controls as well as its trademarked Comfort ProperFit™ flange for that perfect fit.

On the spot during the event, we can see three types of Pigeon Breast Pump and products.

In this event, there's Pigeon Breast Pump launch, Pigeon's three revamped breast pumps comprise a Manual breast pump, Electric Portable breast pump and the Electric breast pump - Pro. Each has been designed to be customisable according to a mother's individual comfort levels.

Pigeon Breast Pump Pro RM790

Pigeon Breast Pump Portable RM350

Pigeon Breast Pump Manual RM199

All three pumps are equipped with Pigeon's trademarked Comfort ProperFit flange, which comes in two sizes for that perfect fit. The Comport ProperFit is a silicon cover with wings to hug the breast and inner curves form a seal to prevent air bubbles, one of the reasons that hamper proper milk extraction.

 Yesterday I attended the Tollyjoy's World Breastfeeding Week on the breastfeeding workshop at Tropicana Medical Centre, it's good info for new parents and mommies to be where they can know and find out about goodness of breastmilk. Dr Anushree Narayanan, Consultant Paediatrician and Neonatalogist is there to explains the goodness of breast milk to newborns. 

Being a parent is around the clock job, it's undoubtedly one of the most exciting journeys to step into. For mothers, the experience is taken a step further as they approach the essential task of breastfeeding. Special for many reasons, breastfeeding could make a world of difference for both mother and baby in terms of health as well as on the level of bonding. This year celebrating of World Breastfeeding Week, Tollyjoy shared in the support for mothers by organizing an exclusive breastfeeding workshop centered on breastfeeding health and personal journeys.

Above picture where Dr Anushree Narayanan, Consultant Paediatrician and Neonatalogist explains on
Breast milk composition differences
Gestational age at birth
(preterm and full term)
Stage of lactation
(colustrum and mature milk)
During a feed
(foremilk and hindmilk)

 Organized in collaboration with Tropicanal Medical Centre (TMC), the workshop was held to promote the importance of breastfeeding and its health benefits, which extends well beyond basic nutrition or emotional bonding. If there were a single most effective way to care for the health of a newborn, it would be through exclusive breastfeeding - for at least the first six months. Besides being proven to protect babies against illness, breastfeeding also offers benefits that stays with mothers for years.

Breastfeeding journey can be challenging especially for new or working mother. From experience, it would took a lot of preparation to get through the early weeks, and then back to daily work routine. Breastfeeding mom will needs lot of supports not just from spouse but colleague or family members to continue breastfeeding journey.

During the talk on "The Goodness of Breastmilk", Dr Anushree Narayanan, Consultant Paediatrician and Neonatalogist shared that only 5% of women truly have a lack of breast milk; which means that with the right support and information, 95% of mothers should be able to breastfeed their infants.

Being mommy of two boys, I breastfeed my first child three and half years, started breastfeed him exclusively when he's four months old, yeah I never give up trying.

My 29 months toddler

Wow look at my toddler, he's growing up and strong! He is super active at home, he can't sit still. He's over 17 kg, yeah too heavy for his weight. He knows to hold drinking from the glass and he wouldn't let go. I need to watch out for him, worry he'll spill it.

I stopped pump milk for him when he's 19 months old. I can't believe time fly, he's big boy now. To be frank, he's does not latch on breast so I have to pump all the time.

Breastfeeding VS Formula milk for baby

My toddler is going to be two year old this June, I last pumped milk when he was 19 months old. He's all the way mix feeding since he's baby, I didn't give up pump milk even though for the last of it there is only one ounce of milk for him.

He's different compared to his big bro, his big bro I breastfeeding hiim for three and half years. Big bro is exclusive breastfeeding since four month old baby. There is no pumping required that time, even though I have the breast pump and pump frequently when he is a baby. The mini electric breast pump of Medela lasted only until then, it's more expensive now to purchase.

I have given him the best breast milk, I couldn't give him more. He's on formula milk powder now, I am glad he's not particular of brand.

I can tell you breastfeeding is the best, you can save alot money from purchase formula milk powder. Best part is mommy's breastmilk you can never purchase it with money.
