On 22 August 2025, mums gathered at Motherswork @ Great World City for The Only C You Need, a special edition of a mom gathering event presented by Aptamil KID CESARBIOTIK, in collaboration with theAsianparent and Motherswork.
This intimate event brought together mums from across Singapore for a morning of personal stories, expert insights, and meaningful connections, along with fun games, prizes, and curated goodie bags.
Expert Shares Gut and Immune Health in C-section Born Children
The event began with a warm welcome, followed by an informative talk by Deeron Tan, Certified Nutritionist at Danone and a working mum.
Deeron explained how C-section deliveries, while life-saving, may impact a child’s gut microbiome and immunity. She introduced Aptamil Profutura KID CESARBIOTIK which is formulated with Synbio+, a unique blend of scGOS/lcFOS (9:1) prebiotic and B. breve M-16V probiotic. She added it is scientifically formulated for C-section born children*, first in Singapore**. Deeron explained that Aptamil Profutura KID CESARBIOTIK with Synbio+ provides 27 times faster# support for immunity.
Mums took part in an open Q&A session, where Deeron answered questions about gut health, immunity, and nutrition with refreshing honesty and scientific clarity.
Real Mums, Real Stories
One of the most heartfelt moments of the morning was the sharing session by two VIP mums:
- Jodie, a first-time mum of a 1-year-7-month-old, who had a planned C-section.
- Shu Hui, mum of two (14 months and 4.5 years old), whose first child was born via emergency C-section and her second through a planned one.
They spoke candidly about their journeys, from recovery and resilience to supporting their children’s health today. When asked to sum up their experience in one word, both mums chose “Courage,” a powerful reminder of the strength behind every C-section story.
Games, Lucky Draw and Goodie Bags
The energy in the room lifted as the mums joined in a fun, fast-paced sorting game themed around the key ingredients of Aptamil Profutura KID CESARBIOTIK: Synbio+, Probiotic, and Prebiotic.
Excitement built up with the lucky draw, featuring premium prizes sponsored by Ruhens, Ariston, Slurpybear and Little Rei.
Finally, every mum walked away with a goodie bag worth up to $600, filled with thoughtful treats from Ruhens, Ariston, Slurpybear, SandBar, ToppingsKids, Motherswork, Aptamil Growing up Milk Tin, Mc.2, and Mamaschoice.
Stories, Science and Empowerment for Mums
The Only C You Need was more than an event. It was a celebration. Through heartfelt panel discussions and practical nutrition insights, the event offered mums both solidarity and science-backed solutions. It reminded every attendee that while each journey is unique, all mums share the strength, courage, and love that define motherhood.
