What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Penang?
We asked expat moms who gave birth in Penang about their experiences and advice they have for other moms to be. They said...
"1. Make sure to research the healthcare system in Penang and find a doctor or midwife that you trust and feel comfortable with. 2. Consider joining a local expat group or forum to connect with other expats who have had babies in Penang and can provide advice and support. 3. Familiarize yourself with the local laws and regulations regarding childbirth and parenting. 4. Consider taking a childbirth or parenting class to learn more about the process and what to expect. 5. Make sure to stock up on essential items such as diapers, formula, and other baby supplies before the baby arrives. 6. Have a plan in place for postpartum care and support, such as family members or friends who can help out with childcare. 7. Take time to explore the city and find activities and places that you and your baby can enjoy together," said a member in Penang, Malaysia.
