Reaching Mums in this decade

Bringing the breastfeeding message to parents-to-be took some new directions with the observation that many working mums struggled to maintain their breastfeeding after returning to work. BMSG(S) started a special workshop to teach working mums better management approaches in 1996. By 1998, we also revamped our monthly talk into a series of four workshops dealing with topics from Preparing to Breastfeed, to Introducing Solids. Each series is conducted quarterly.

Members' Activities

BMSG(S) member Stella Leong and her husband initiated the first of several playgroups in 2001, some of which have continued to the present. Koh Geok Cheng tapped members' expertise in 2002 to give talks on interesting child nurture and family-related topics, and even included farm visits. These were well received and enjoyed by many. In 2005, we organized a couple of film shows for families.
