THE HEGEN BLOG

It’s Earth Day and to celebrate this, our Hegen team came up with this fun upcycling craft that you can do as a family with your little ones. We’re turning our Hegen Bottles into a stationery holder and a vase!​ ​

Having a home birth is unique in ways that may not always be possible in a hospital. Hegen Mum, Wu Jiezhen, followed her dream of bringing her baby into the world, in its own pace and time while being in the home environment with people she loved.  This is her personal birth story.

Our Mum of the Month in December, Sarah Lim is a beneficiary who received help from Safe Place. Read her story on how she found when she found out that she was pregnant through a doctor check-up and how Safe Place provided a safe place (pun intended) emotionally and physically. 

With air travel gradually resuming in many countries, many families are booking their flights to return home to see their loved ones. What was it like for Evey Clay (@travelthough) and her husband, Bret, who travelled recently with Keira, their nearly one-year old daughter, from UK back to Singapore?

The birth of a baby brings about much excitement to first-time parents and the same can be said for new grandparents. However, this transition of taking on new identities, roles and responsibilities can bring challenges as well as joy. We speak to Hegen mum Kai Ting and how her mum, Jennifer, cheered her on in her breastfeeding journey despite the initial setbacks.

Our Hegen mum, Yee Vonne, wanted to resolve what she thought were blocked ducts from breastfeeding, only to find out that it was in fact a rare autoimmune condition, dermatomyositis, and breast cancer. We also commemorate Breast Cancer Awareness month in October, here is Yee Vonne’s story.

After a highly anticipated wait, we proudly present our brand new and much anticipated Hegen Straw Cup for toddlers! It has been six years since Hegen was founded, and our Mummy fanbase (and their babies) have also grown along with us. As the newborns in our community become toddlers and preschoolers, we have received countless requests for products that would allow them to continue their Hegen journey in the years ahead. 

It may be a surprise to find out that at only age 30, Evangeline Er is a Mum to four little ones, Solomon (7 years old), Alanna (5 years old), Dominic (3 years old) and Elliott (5 months)! As a young Mum, she holds many open and non-traditional views when it comes to all things related to motherhood, including breastfeeding. With experiences that run the gamut from delivering a breech baby naturally to eating sashimi and lifting weights during her pregnancies, this is definitely a Mum like no other!
