If you’re an expecting mum and ever felt like you don’t even know what you don’t know – you’re not alone.
That feeling of uncertainty is common, especially when preparing for the arrival of a new baby.
That’s why Parentcraft Classes continue to be such a valuable space for mums and dads-to-be, offering support, clarity, and the kind of practical guidance you just can’t get from books or online searches.
Supported by Tourism Malaysia, the recent Parentcraft Class held in Bukit Kiara welcomed expectant couples for a full-day programme designed to help parents feel more prepared – physically, emotionally, and mentally, for the journey ahead.
A Full Day of Learning and Preparation
The class began with light refreshments and registration, giving couples the chance to settle in and ease into the day.
The sessions were thoughtfully structured to mirror the stages of pregnancy and newborn care, each led by experienced professionals in their field.
Topics covered included pregnancy nutrition, pain management during labour, the role of the umbilical cord, breastfeeding, newborn safety, and exercises to prepare the body for labour.
These sessions were presented in an accessible, supportive way while encouraging open dialogue and real-time question and answer, which many participants appreciated.
The class also included guidance on what to expect during labour and delivery, as well as common newborn concerns like jaundice.
Throughout the day, participants had the chance to ask questions, take notes, and hear practical tips they could use immediately or in the near future.
This initiative aligns with Tourism Malaysia’s efforts to position Malaysia as a leading destination for wellness tourism, with a growing focus on maternal health and family-focused care.
Programmes like this not only benefit local families – they also highlight the country’s healthcare quality and holistic approach to supporting parents from all walks of life.
Turning Knowledge Into Confidence
One of the highlights of the class was the hands-on session on baby bathing and swaddling.
For many first-time parents, these simple acts can feel overwhelming, but under the guidance of trained nurses, couples were able to practise these skills in a calm, encouraging environment.
The opportunity to try, ask questions, and receive gentle corrections turned uncertainty into confidence.
Sessions like these help make Malaysia a standout in the region – not just for its medical services, but also for its family-friendly, culturally sensitive approach to early parenting education.
With the support of Tourism Malaysia, these classes contribute to a positive, trusted image of the country’s healthcare ecosystem.
Supporting Families, Strengthening Communities
Tourism Malaysia’s involvement in the Parentcraft Class reflects a broader commitment to community wellness and lifelong learning.
By making high-quality, expert-led workshops accessible to more families, Malaysia is helping to reduce anxiety around childbirth and elevate the standard of care available to new and expecting parents.
Malaysia’s strengths in healthcare, hospitality, and education come together meaningfully in programmes like this – turning them into key touchpoints not only for residents, but also for travellers seeking comprehensive maternal support in a trusted, well-equipped environment.
A Safe Space for Parents-to-Be
The class closed with light refreshments and a chance for participants to connect and reflect.
Many shared how grateful they were to have attended, especially those in their final trimester who felt more reassured after a day filled with practical learning and emotional support.
As the demand for these sessions continues to grow, Parentcraft Classes remain a meaningful part of early parenting preparation, helping families step into their next chapter with greater clarity, calm, and confidence.
With the continued support of Tourism Malaysia, these classes are set to reach more families, foster stronger communities, and further establish Malaysia as a leader in maternal wellness across Southeast Asia and beyond.
