Kangaroo Club - Breastfeeding Support Group

Who are we?

Our KANGAROO CLUB is a Breastfeeding Support Group of Penang Adventist Hospital. It was launched officially on 1st August 2004 during the World Breastfeeding Week. The members of the Kangaroo Club are all "Baby Friendly".

In fact most of them had or have successfully breast-fed their children. This club is formed to support mothers who are breastfeeding and for members to share their experiences on breastfeeding.
