In Malaysia, over 700,000 people are registered with disabilities, and about 4.7% of children aged 2–17 live with functional difficulties such as learning, mobility, or communication challenges. That’s thousands of families in Sabah alone who are navigating these realities every day. And here’s the empowering part: digital tools are not only helping — they’re transforming.

Breastfeeding is often called “liquid gold” – and for good reason. Mother’s milk is a complete, living food tailored for a baby’s needs, offering unparalleled nutrition, immunity, and love all at once. In Malaysia, breastfeeding is more than a personal choice; it’s a cherished tradition and a public health priority.

In Malaysia’s cities and towns, expectant mothers can usually rely on regular clinics and hospitals. But in remote regions like interior Sabah, Sarawak and Kelantan, pregnancy and delivery can be a struggle against geography, poverty and understaffed clinics. 

Autism is a lifelong neurodevelopmental difference – not an illness or a punishment.  It affects how a child’s brain learns to communicate, socialize and behave.  Contrary to myths, autism is not contagious and not caused by bad parenting, evil eye or “spritual factors”. 

Research shows that play between fathers and children often looks different than mother–child play, and these differences bring unique developmental gains. 

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) – sometimes called “cot death” – refers to the sudden, unexplained passing of an apparently healthy infant under one year old, usually during sleep.

In multicultural Malaysia, traditional pregnancy and postpartum practices are deeply influenced by the concepts of “hot” and “cold” foods in each major ethnic community – Malay, Chinese, and Indian.

Early childhood is widely recognized as a critical time for brain and social development. 

Pregnancy is an exciting time, but it often comes with questions — especially about your baby’s health. The good news? A healthy pregnancy and good prenatal care can reduce many risks. But it’s also true that some childhood disabilities are influenced by things completely outside any parent’s control.

Speech delay means a young child is slower than usual in producing clear sounds or words.  It’s not the same as a language delay, which involves understanding and using words.  A child with a speech delay can hear and understand others but struggles to form sounds correctly.  By contrast, a language delay (expressive or receptive) means a child has trouble forming meaningful sentences or understanding speech, even if they can make sounds.

Dyslexia is a common language-based learning difference, not a sign of low intelligence. Children with dyslexia have brains that work a bit differently when it comes to reading and writing.
