Handmade Covers Protect Malaysia's Vital 'Pink Book' for Parents

The Baby and Child Health Record, often called the 'pink book,' is a vital document for parents. It tracks a child's health history, vaccinations, growth, and developmental progress. Without it, school registration or medical visits can become difficult.

Yet, many parents risk losing or damaging this essential record by neglecting its upkeep.

Noor Eizie Eizyanie Mohamad Safuan recognised the problem and launched Ezloveycraft to solve it. Her business specialises in handmade covers designed to protect the 'pink book' from wear and tear. Each cover is crafted from bright, modern-patterned cotton fabric, lined with protective plastic, and stitched with care.

The A5-sized covers are not just protective but practical too. They include inner pockets for appointment cards and expand to fit the growing health record. Personalisation options are also available, allowing parents to add names or unique designs.

Noor Eizie's crafting skills come from her mother, who passed down a love for sewing. Starting her business around 2014, she now offers more than five handmade product lines. These include angpau-style wallets, passport covers, ID holders, tissue holders, and Quran covers, with prices beginning below RM20.

Creating a single 'pink book' cover takes roughly an hour, depending on demand. Orders flow in through WhatsApp and social media, keeping her busy with requests from parents eager to safeguard their child's important records.

The 'pink book' remains a key document for medical visits and school enrolment. Noor Eizie's covers provide a simple way to keep it safe and organised. With her expanding product range, Ezloveycraft continues to meet the needs of parents looking for both function and style.
