Dubai moms, along with their babies and toddlers, came together for a lively morning of conversations on parenthood, music and dancing, interactive games, and fun giveaways at the Giggles and Hugs event conducted by Gulf News on Tuesday last week.

Bounty Beets at Le Meridien Mina Seyahi was packed with mothers and their little ones for the outdoor breakfast get-together, which featured educational sessions from experts and hands-on experiences with the latest products from childcare brands, served alongside fresh coffee, pancakes, muffins, and fruits.

"I love attending such events to socialise with other moms and also to get to know the latest products to help me choose what's best for my child," says Zarah Deleon from the Philippines, who attended with her four-year-old daughter, Sarah. "As a first-time mom, this is a very good opportunity to become aware of everything motherhood entails and get a lot of advice from other moms as well."
