Mother’s Day is one of those amazing days where moms are thanked for everything that they have done, it is also a day where moms can reflect on their journey to motherhood. For nine months, you have carried this little person inside of you, watched them grow and felt every movement and within a blink of an eye they are here and you are a mom. The first moment you get to hug your little one is one that you will remember for ever. To mark this special occasion Huggies® will be doing something special for the new moms at the Pholosong Hospital and Far East Rand Hospital in the East Rand, Johannesburg on Mother’s Day.
All the moms who gave birth on Mother’s Day received a pack of Huggies® My First Nappy, Huggies® New Baby Wipes and a box of chocolate wrapped in cellophane and ribbon as a “hug” from Huggies®. This special little gift was handed over to the new moms with a Happy Mother’s Day card from Huggies®.
“New Years and Christmas babies have always been celebrated but we feel that having a baby over the Mother’s Day weekend is an extra special occasion for moms. On actual Mother’s Day, we know that these moms won’t be able to spend the whole day with the rest of their family and that is why we also want to create this special moment for mom and baby as it is one of the most memorable firsts they will ever share together,” says Nthabiseng Leso, Senior Brand Manager at Huggies® – POME.
Huggies® My First Nappy provides the gentlest protection with a quilted triple absorption liner and an umbilical cord cut-out to help protect your baby’s new skin. The umbilical cord cut-out encourages healing and easy cleaning for new moms. Umbilical cord care is always a worry for new moms but with this feature moms can rest confidently that they are giving their babies the best. Huggies® My First Nappy also has fasten anywhere tabs to help provide a snug fit and a wetness indicator to show when it’s time to change, allowing you to relax and cherish the new world of firsts with your baby without having to worry.
“We are really excited that we have the opportunity to celebrate Mother’s Day with South African moms this year. They are special and they deserve the acknowledgement for their selflessness and for doing the hardest job in the world,” concludes Leso.
