It takes two hands to clap, so it takes two persons to raise a baby.

Talk Show Bayi Cerdas, Atrium Istana Plaza, Bandung

o
I got a great chance to speak at Atrium Istana Plaza, Bandung.

This show was suppose to be for women, but there were many men attended the show.

But taking care a baby is a responsible of parents, not only for mother, so I really appreciated fathers who came that morning.

Actually, this show was more like talk show and I got 1 hour to share about breastmilk and stimulation for baby's first year.

Giving breastmilk is really challenging for me as well. I got many comments from my friends, saying that, " Giving breastmilk will make me fat!", "Giving breastmilk will make everybody think that I couldno't afford to buy formula.", etc.

But this is a big mistake!

God has given us, women an organ to feed our bay, so we must use it to feed our baby!

For those women out there, mothers who breasfeed their baby,.... I'm so proud of you guys.... keep up the good work

One more thing, about stimulation.

Parents usually think that they don't have to do anything for baby since baby couldn't understand anything anyway... but actually, baby's brain is craving for information.... they love to learn. So we need to feed their brain as well... not only their body...

How to do it? You can read it in my book for detail!

Learning with Nature

Learning with nature is a good thing to do and most of all, it's fun!

Try to go to garden, beach, sea, mountain with children and they will love it. Spend some time with them every week if it is possible. They can play on the grass, sit under the blue sky, watch the flower bloom, ride horse, catch fish in the pond, find shell, smell the wood, etc.

Is it really important for our children? They even don't understand. Most of parents told me that excuse. But....

The answer is yes!

Those experiences will become data for their brain and their brain will keep it in memory. One day, when they would like to use some information that has connection with one of the experience that happened in the past, their brain will easily load up the data needed. Could you imagine if they never have experience when they were kid? What would happen? There will be no data in their brain.

So, don't wait,... go and learn with nature...
