Knowledge Transfer

Worldwide for baby health

Experts from various disciplines and research institutes, such as pediatricians, developmental educators, dentists, and midwives, work on each and every MAM baby product. This is how we ensure that the functionality, shape and material of all MAM products are based on state-of-the-art research. This network is a valuable resource for MAM, and we actively maintain it. It is equally important to us to promote the exchange between the different fields of research. We also pass on the information we gain to parents – either directly on our website or through events and on social media. Digital events have been an important way to continue connecting with our community, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

studies on baby health are in our study database as the basis for our communication with parents and medical experts.

In addition to the transfer of knowledge between experts, we also sup-port the transfer of knowledge from experts to parents. During the reporting period, we promoted the exchange of information and knowledge on the topic of infant health in various countries through events and information campaigns. Due to the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, we had to get creative in order to hold our events. We were often able to switch to digital events and connect participants with one another online. When the COVID-19 pandemic broke out at the beginning of 2020, MAM reacted quickly and provided a collection of important information for pregnant mothers, breastfeeding women, and parents. Additional measures and content were provided via social media and a special newsletter.

It is important for parents to have loving, appreciative support that helps their baby grow and develop well.

Time for questions - events with MAM

We host events for medical experts and parents around the world to promote knowledge transfer on baby health. For example, MAM Switzerland organized a symposium in Zurich in October 2020 at which a wide range of topics were dealt with. From a lecture on child motor development to child endangerment to the optimal support of single mothers, the selection of topics was highly praised by the participants. Due to the positive reactions, MAM will continue to hold the conference every two years. Not only experts, but also parents have been given the opportunity to ask questions. We also held regular Q&A sessions with midwife Franziska Summermatter on Instagram. Interested parties could ask the questions that were on their minds beforehand and these were then answered professionally and in detail.

Teeth good, all good - dentistry for babies

In Brazil, MAM offers a variety of activities that increasingly focus on digital offerings, as more people can be easily reached in this way. We developed a further training offer for experts with our video course “Dental care during pregnancy and dental hygiene for babies.” The course, conducted by renowned pediatric dentist Dr. Gabriel Politano, reached 40 health professionals from around the country and received excellent feedback. In order to make the learning experience complete, the participants received course materials, product samples and a certificate of participation.
