Besides having a gastronomical fulfillment yesterday morning, we attended the 1st session of Parentcraft at Gleneagles in the afternoon. I don’t want to be too quick to judge, but that session was a big disappointment.

The session was divided into 4 parts, with a 20 minute tea break in between. Don’t be surprised when you’re made to wait — Malaysia Boleh! — it started 15 minutes late and finished 10 minutes early. So in total adds up the 2 hours *wth*

Topics Covered

#1 – Optimum Nutrition in Pregnancy & Lactation (30 mins)
Our primary school’s Science Textbook have more facts than what the Dietitian presented! *shakes head with utter disappointment*

#2 – Labour & Delivery Process (40 mins)
Jargons, jargons and jargons. Why didn’t I raise my hand? I rather Google it myself *sigh*

#3 – Breastfeeding (0 mins)
We need to make separate appointment for this. The Lactation Consultant will check our breasts and show us how to breastfeed.

#4 – Cord Blood Banking (4 mins)
Why was she here? The girl is clearly inexperience and bullet trained her way by skipping slides *dizzy*

Why are we paying RM180 to be recited to? The class was said to be 2.5hours on the leaflet, but then short changed to 2 hours on our programme sheet. The materials presented was so pathetically watered down, I can find more information by a single Google.

All the speakers did a very poor presentation. With their experience and expertise, we would expect to hear at least some case studies with real life examples. Besides reading directly from their slides, that was it. There were no further explanations or quote of examples.

I hope in our next session, covering fully on Pre & Postnatal Exercises and Breathing Exercises, the speaker would not further disappoint
