XIXILI Empowers Nursing Mothers with Expert Advice by Ricca Tai
KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA - Media OutReach Newswire - 2 August 2025 - In commemoration of Breastfeeding Week 2025, XIXILI shows its commitment to inclusivity by collaborating with Ricca Tai, a licensed pharmacist with a special focus on mothercare, post-natal wellness, and breastfeeding support, to provide expert breastfeeding advice for mothers.'Breastfeeding can be both rewarding and challenging, particularly for new mothers learning how to express milk comfortably and effectively,' says XIXILI spokesperson Grace Tan. 'It's a deeply personal journey that requires patience, support, and the right tools to ensure both mother and baby feel nurtured throughout the experience.'According to Grace, XIXILI remains dedicated to supporting breastfeeding mothers with thoughtfully designed nursing bras that prioritise comfort, functionality, and confidence. This combined initiative with Ricca Tai reflects the brand's ethos of empowering mothers with products that support their needs during this important stage of life.When it comes to breastfeeding, Ricca advises that women obtain an accurate measurement of their nipples to help determine the correct breast shield size, which significantly impacts comfort and milk output. She advises measuring the nipple diameter (excluding the areola) in millimetres after breastfeeding or pumping and adding 2–4 mm to determine the appropriate flange size. A poorly fitted shield may cause discomfort, reduced milk flow, or nipple damage.Maintaining proper posture can enhance the pumping experience. An upright, well-supported position with relaxed shoulders is recommended. Hands-free pumping bras or dual-function nursing bras can help keep flanges securely in place, reducing arm strain and allowing mothers to focus on other tasks. Ricca further states that techniques such as applying warm compresses, gentle massage, and maintaining skin-to-skin contact with the baby can also support milk let-down.When selecting a breast pump, she notes that lifestyle requirements should guide the decision. Manual or single electric pumps are suitable for occasional use, whereas double electric or hospital-grade pumps are ideal for regular pumping. For mothers who value discretion and mobility, wearable, hands-free pumps with quiet operation and leak-proof designs are practical options.The Ultra Soft Pansy Maternity Nursing Bra is designed to offer both comfort and practicality for new mothers. This seamless maternity bra is ideal for wearing at home or on casual days out, providing a wire-free, high-coverage fit.Crafted with ultra-soft, stretchy knitted fabric, it features removable cup pads for optional shaping and coverage, a breathable centre mesh panel for better ventilation, and a wide, snug elastic band under the bust for lasting comfort. The U-shape back wing, adjustable shoulder straps, and three-panel hook fastening offer reliable support, while easy-access clips allow breastfeeding with just one hand.By combining thoughtful design with comfort and elegance, XIXILI's nursing bra and bralette collections are crafted to help mothers feel both supported and confident throughout their breastfeeding journey. The collections are available online and at XIXILI boutiques nationwide. For more information, visit XIXILI's official website Hashtag: #XIXILI

Health expert calls for comprehensive approach to tackle adolescent obesity

KUALA LUMPUR : A health expert has urged the government to adopt a comprehensive and multi-ministerial strategy to address adolescent obesity as a national concern. Malaysian Endocrine and Metabolic Society vice-president Dr Yazid Jalaludin said all ministries, and not just the health, education, and women and community ministries, must collaborate and acknowledge adolescent obesity as a problem. 'We are seeing 18 to 24-year-olds having diabetes, (with) two-thirds of them not even knowing that they have (it)', said Yazid, a panellist at a forum titled 'Addressing the Adolescent Obesity Burden: Collaborative Solutions for a Healthier Malaysia' here today. Yazid emphasised the importance of establishing clear guidelines on who should be screened for complications related to being overweight or obese. 'We should screen them now rather than having to treat them in their 20s and 30s,' he said, adding that complications could be better managed when treated early. He highlighted the financial problems that some families might face for investigative and treatment services, and noted that some insurance policies might not cover these services as obesity was not recognised as a disease. The other panellists were health ministry disease control division director Dr Noraryana Hassan, Malaysian Obesity Society president Dr Rohana Abdul Ghani, and young patient advocate Mikhael Qaiser. Galen Centre for Health and Social Policy CEO Azrul Khalib moderated the discussion. Noraryana affirmed the ministry's recognition of adolescent obesity as critical, saying that this issue required a coordinated, multi-sectoral action involving education, urban planning, and food policy. She highlighted the ministry's intervention programmes, including the National Health Screening Initiative, which revealed a high percentage of individuals classed as either obese or overweight. While highlighting the importance of population-based and primary interventions, she said the main focus for now was to initiate clinical interventions for obesity. Need for destigmatisation Rohana said it was important that adolescent obesity be recognised as a complex, chronic disease and not merely a matter of lifestyle choices. 'The destigmatisation of obesity is important so young people can receive the appropriate care they need without shame or delay, before they grow up into sick adults,' she said. Mikhael called on all parties to show empathy instead of judgment when dealing with young patients who were overweight or obese. 'It's not just about weight but also the constant burden of shame and anxiety. 'I want you to know that teenagers' lives with obesity are far more difficult than you think. 'Starting today, parents should stop commenting on their child's weight. Instead, show them unconditional love and create a healthy home environment,' he said. He said teachers also played an important role in advocating for these students and fostering a classroom culture of respect. Earlier, Galen Centre launched a policy report, titled 'Addressing Obesity in Children and Adolescents in Putrajaya', prepared in collaboration with Novo Nordisk Pharma (Malaysia). The report highlighted critical gaps in Malaysia's current approach, including insufficient recognition of obesity as a chronic disease and the lack of insurance coverage for treatment. It also called for structured treatment modalities, ranging from lifestyle interventions to pharmacotherapy, and stressed the importance of involving families throughout the treatment process.

Up and down 4 flights of stairs: devoted husband's love for paralysed wife
Ah Yauddin Ahmad carrying his wife Roslina Yusuf, who is paralysed, up to and down from their fourth-floor flat in Meru, Klang. KLANG : An elderly man slowly descends the stairs from his four-storey flat while carrying his paralysed wife. It's a surprising sight, but one that happens regularly at Pangsapuri Meru Ehsan. Despite his age, Ah Yauddin Ahmad, 63, insists on bringing 57-year-old Roslina Yusuf with him when he heads out to sell drinks. Having suffered a stroke five years ago, Roslina can no longer speak, eat, or move independently. In addition, her left leg had to be amputated because of diabetes complications. Speaking with FMT at their home in Meru here, Yauddin admitted that while his body is ageing, he cannot bear to leave his wife in the care of others. 'I feel calmer running the business when she's with me, even if she's just sitting in a wheelchair. We've never been apart,' he said. 'Of course, there are times I feel tired, but when I think about how much I love her, I'd rather we go through this hardship together.' Yauddin showing an old photo of Roslina when she was healthy and active. For the past five years, Yauddin has been selling drinks (air balang) at night markets in Meru and Pantai Dalam, Kuala Lumpur. Roslina, he said, had been better at doing business than he is. 'Now that she's unwell, I feel demotivated, sometimes even too tired to continue. But it's my responsibility, so I try to do what I can,' he added. Behind his calm demeanour and warm smile, Yauddin struggles emotionally when he thinks about his wife and daughter's future. 'Sometimes I get anxious, asking: 'Why is my wife so thin? Why is she bedridden? What's going to happen to my child?' 'When I feel like that, I start to shake and can only find strength by remembering God.' Yauddin says he prefers to have Roslina by his side at all times, even if she's in a wheelchair. And although Yauddin receives RM400 a month in zakat aid, their financial situation remains unstable. According to him, the business brings in about RM1,000 a month. But Yauddin himself suffers from kidney disease, high blood pressure and diabetes, which occasionally renders him unwell. 'Zakat also provides milk and diapers. Treatment costs aren't too high since we go to government hospitals, but the business is unpredictable. 'Sometimes I can't even afford to pay for electricity, water, or maintenance fees,' he said. Yauddin's story drew attention after a video of him working while caring for Roslina went viral on TikTok recently. While he has been pleasantly surprised by the public's reaction, he stressed that he hopes to continue earning a living while he can, rather than rely entirely on aid. 21-year-old Siti Nur Aliah with her parents. Meanwhile, Siti Nur Aliah, the couple's only child, acknowledged that her life is very different from other young people's. After completing her SPM, the 21-year-old decided not to further her studies so she could care for her mother and help her father with their business. 'I received offers to study but my dad asked me not to leave. He's not in good health either, so if I'm not around, it's hard for him to care for my mum alone,' she said. To support her family, Aliah works part-time at a restaurant and helps them at the night markets. 'I use my part-time salary to cover family expenses. The rest is for my own needs,' she shared, adding that she hopes for her parents to move into a ground-floor home to make things easier for them.
