Mămny’s story began with the boundless love I have for PiPi — my firstborn son with sparkling dark eyes and a radiant smile. Like every mother, I always wanted to give my child the very best. But it was a shocking fact I came across in The Lancet, one of the world’s leading medical journals, that inspired me to create Mămmy:

Asian children are born with potential no less than that of European children, yet after the first two years of life, many fall into the group with the highest rates of stunting in the world. Research shows that malnutrition during the weaning stage not only directly affects physical growth, but can also leave lasting impacts on brain development.

Even if children later receive a better diet, the damage formed during those critical early years may continue throughout their lives.

I could not accept that my child — or any Asian child — should be disadvantaged from the very beginning. That is why my co-founders and I were determined to build Mammy: a weaning brand designed not only to meet nutritional needs, but also to suit the physical condition, constitution, and eating habits of Asian children.
