Amenia Awareness And Pregnancy Conference Invite

Dear Mommies,

A special press briefing on Anemia and Pregnancy entitled "Towards a Healthy Madonna and Child", will be conducted by Dr. Nils Milman from Denmark. Dr. Milman has written over 100 papers on Anemia, and has done extensive research on the subject, particularly its effects on pregnant women. The Perinatal Association of the Philippines invited Dr. Milman here from Denmark, to raise awareness on Anemia and Pregnancy, as it is a very real and very serious health concern that affects an alarming number of women, particularly pregnant ones.

Dr. Milman will lay down the latest cold hard facts and statistics on Anaemia and Pregnancy, show you why the disease cannot be taken lightly, and give expert advice on its prevention and treatment.  If you want to attend please post comments here.  Please post interest until 12NN Sunday, September 26,2010 so I can forward your names to the invitee.  Conference will be held on Monday Sept. 27, 2010 10AM to 12NN at Crown Plaza. (Please wait for my email for confirmation. Thank you!)

Anemia Facts:

In the Philippines, The WHO reports that 42% of Filipino women of reproductive age suffer from Anemia, while 44% of pregnant women suffer from the affliction. The number of women who suffer from Anemia in South East Asia has been on the decline over the last 10 years, but the decline has not been fast or steady, which is why there are now more efforts to raise awareness on the disease.

Anemia is a disease many are familiar with; the word anemic has become virtually synonymous to weak or frail. Anemia is closely linked to Leukemia, which is one of the deadliest forms of cancer. Anemia’s most common visible symptoms are the reason it has become another word for weakness. Women who are anemic often experience diminished physical capacity, fatigue, dizziness, palpitations and irregular menstrual periods.

Sustagen Jr. And AlactaGrow Recall

The Philippine Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ordered a pull-out of Sustagen Jr. and AlactaGrow milk products in the market because of some technical compliance issues ergo the milk products by Mead Johnsons is said to be unsafe for public use.

The Philippine FDA asked for the recall and removal of its current supplies of Sustagen Jr. and AlactaGrow from distribution and sales because allegedly the fat content in the said products were below the new standard listed in the revised CODEX Standards for Follow-Up Formula.

Mommy Bloggers Club Event @ Spoiled!

I would like to extend my deepest gratitude for all the moms who were able to attend the 1st Mommy Bloggers Club event at Spoiled! Store in Ortigas.

It was a pleasure to see moms who enjoyed seeing new things in maternity and nursing wear that I wish were available when I was pregnant and nursing more than 8 years ago.

Among the products that caught my eyes include the following:

The ingenious Hands Free Pumping Bra for busy nursing moms who breast feed. They can wear the bra, pump breast milk and do whatever they need to do that needs both hands like blogging, eating etc.

Hands Free Pumping Bra

The PSI Band is perfect for those who are in the first semester of their pregnancy as it aids in relief of being nauseous because of morning sickness or even motion sickness because of travelling.

If you can't get daddy to carry the colorful cartoonish diaper bag worry no more, Spoiled! invented this multi-purpose stylish Boxy Backpack diaper bag can double as a changing station and a messenger bag. Daddy won't ever have to complain about carrying the diaper bag anymore!

Moms You Deserve A Break

Being a mom is a fulfilling calling.  We take care of our kids and even our partners but forget to take care of ourself sometimes. Did you know that taking a break from your mommy duties makes you a better mom than not taking a break at all? Why? Because this relieves you of your tension and stresses at home and seriously makes you miss your daily routine after.  I wish I can offer more to give away but for now try your luck in winning a day of pampering at Makati Wellness Spa by joining Earthlingorgeous.com contest.  After all you deserve a break.

The company that's been known to take care of women will now also take care of our babies.  Just this week, Avon launched its new product line, the Avon Baby.

The Avon Baby line is a product line dedicated to take care of our precious children during their bath time, play time and sleep time.

The Baby Soothing Oil is meant for use before bath and before bed time.  Massage it onto baby's skin and it gives a soothing effect.  What's great is its non-greasy and smells real good.

The Tear Free Head-To-Toe Wash is great for bath time.  It has a nice scent non-irritating and won't leave the baby's skin dry.  

Avon Baby will have a nice surprise for everyone watch out on September 16, 2010.
