We have attended less and less of these mum and baby expos as the little man gets bigger. The first ever Mom and Baby Expo by the Perinatal Association of the Philippines {PAP} was an exception, though. Since I wrote about the expo earlier this year, naturally, I would love to check it out. And since I was in SM Megamall that very same weekend, I went and checked the event out with my little one and my sis, Bel.
Entrance to the expo was Php50 and the kids get in for free. Inside, there are a host of different booths, as well as a number of talks and activities lined-up through out the day. The expo ran from 21-23 April where mums and mums-to-be, along with their toddlers and families were treated to an exhibit that showcased different facets of comprehensive perinatal healthcare such as products, services, technology and new methods, all of which were designed to aid Filipina mothers and their babies.
Organized by the Perinatal Association of the Philippines (PAP), the expo featured not only booths of trusted mum and baby brands like Pigeon, Enfamama, Unilab, Messy Bessy, Safety 1st, and Tiny Buds {our personal fave}, but also a series of talks of medical experts belonging to the PAP which delved into a whole range of topics pertaining to maternal-fetal and newborn topics. Among the topics that drew huge crowds were tips on how to get pregnant; vaccines needed for expecting moms as well as their babies; preconception tests; macro and micronutrient needs for moms; Sayuntis- exercise during pregnancy; and skin care for mom and baby.
