Most
of us heard of Mother's Day, Father's Day and Children's Day, and Tollyjoy has
been great in it's initiating of yearly Baby Day on 8th June 3 years ago,
collaborating with OrphanCARE.
Tollyjoy Baby Day is a special day dedicated to appreciate babies and to honor the significant journey as parents selflessly care and provide for their precious ones. It emphasizes the importance of family, love and care to every child, including the less fortunate.

Thanks
Tollyjoy for the invitation in to the eventful afternoon tea at Yellow Apron Café
in PJ. Love the décor and we get to write a message to our baby and hang it as
part of the décor. Looking at the baby items for display, it’s just like
yesterday that I held my 2 babies, and now they are both 9 and 8. They grow up
really quick and I am still calling them baby at this age. ;)
Nutrition
indeed starts from young, and it’s a need of growing up healthy. I glued on to
the talk by Ms Rozanna M. Rosly, Head of Diabetics of UM Specialist Centre as
she talks on the importance of nutrition for mothers to be, nursing mother and
babies. Do you know baby with cleft palate is due to mothers who eat lots of
junk food?
Mothers
eating habit directly affect the baby indeed and balance nutrition intake is vital for a baby
growth.

I
love the interactive meal demonstration where Ms Rozanna shows how we could prepare
healthy yet delicious meals at home. I am lately on the popular “overnight oat”
craze now and I tell Rozanna that my kids feel too full and the texture is a
bit too thick for them. Both of them feel like puking after eating my so call “healthy
breakfast”. Haha.
She
showed us to get it done with a more fruits mixture. Crunchy fruit layer made
with honeydew cubes layered with thin layer of oats, low fat yogurt and strawberry
jam, top up with watermelon juice. Indeed it tastes better, a great snack for
kids too.
I
like the kiwi banana soybean milk smoothies that she prepared. It’s yummy and
just right. As sometimes kiwi is sour, the banana and soybean makes it
balanced. Nice indeed and I am going to give this a try. Yay!
Baby are meant to be loved and the afternoon is filled with good information as we are being introduce by Datin Rashidah Hashim to OrphanCARE, in saving abandoned baby.

Baby are meant to be loved and the afternoon is filled with good information as we are being introduce by Datin Rashidah Hashim to OrphanCARE, in saving abandoned baby.
If
you have not heard of OrphanCARE, I would like to share that they have baby
Hatches in Petaling Jaya, Johor Bahru and Sungai Petani to provide a safe haven
for babies born out of wedlock to young mothers who kept their pregnancies a
secret from their families. From 2010 to May 2016, OrphanCARE has successfully
matched 171 unwanted babies with adoptive parents.
Todate,
it has more than 1000 waiting list of adoptive parents who registered to adopt
babies at their centre.
How
it works – OrphanCARE will have a collaboration with Hospitals ie. KPJ. There
will be a baby hatches that newly born can be put into. Once baby are in the
hatches, the air-conditioning and light will be lit and there will be signal
given to KPJ to informed of the newbie’s and baby will then be taken into KPJ
for care. Within 24 hours, a police report will be made, and OrphanCARE come
into the picture to get these baby adopt by the adoptive parents that they have
in the list; on a first in first out basis.
To
ensure that babies are well taken care of, OrphanCARE do lots of background
work. They had to interview the adoptive parents if they are mentally and
financially good, and a training to be given to potential adoptive parent. OrphanCARE
even do home inspection of the adoptive parents to ensure baby have a safe environment
and will monitor he family for 2 years under the care of social worker and
volunteer. With this, OrphanCARE needs money for their mileage payment to
support these volunteers and social workers.

Not
only that, OrphanCARE do integrate these children back to their biological
parents, whom initially can’t afford to take care of them due to poverty. They
would try to raise fund to these families as they believe every child need a
family. OrphanCARE do also provide free shelter for pregnant lady who is in
their 7th month above, but only could accommodate 2 ladies at a
time. Adoptive parent would pay for the upkeep of the said pregnant lady and
also medical checkup of the baby.
Thanks
to Tollyjoy again for the tea break treat, a great time for us mothers to share
our thoughts and a quick chat before heading home. I haven’t had this tea break
session for long without kids, so it’s a nice gathering with mummy bloggers.
