Island Hospital recently welcomed expectant parents to its first-ever Mandarin Antenatal Workshop, offering a meaningful and educational experience to support families as they prepare for the journey into parenthood.

The workshop featured a series of informative talks and interactive demonstrations led by Island Hospital’s multidisciplinary healthcare team, covering essential topics from pregnancy and labour to newborn care and breastfeeding.

• Our Obstetrics & Gynaecology team began with a hands-on session on Baby Care & Baby Bath, guiding parents on essential newborn care and bathing techniques.
• Participants also learned about Postpartum Confinement Diet from our Dietitian, gaining useful tips on nutrition and recovery after childbirth.
• Dr Yew Yen Sarn, Consultant Anaesthetist, shared valuable information on Labour & Pain Control, helping parents better understand pain relief options during labour and delivery.
• Dr Low Kah Pin, Consultant Obstetrician & Gynaecologist, continued with an informative Labour & Delivery Sharing, providing reassurance and helpful insights on what to expect during childbirth.
• To conclude the programme, Dr Hwang Yee Chern, Consultant Neonatologist & Paediatrician, delivered an engaging session on Breastfeeding Knowledge Sharing, empowering parents with confidence and practical breastfeeding tips.

Island Hospital extends its heartfelt appreciation to all participants for making this inaugural Mandarin Antenatal Workshop a great success. We hope the knowledge, practical skills, and expert guidance shared during the workshop will empower parents to embrace parenthood with greater confidence and peace of mind.
