Exciting polls are conducted on Malaysiamums.com from time to time
For example, we may be running a poll called "Which brand of diapers is the most comfortable?"
For more information on polls, go to the Table of Contents below.
Polls are an easy way to know what most people think of a particular issue.
Whilst the views of a small group of say, for example, 10 mothers would be useful, it would be much better to know what 10,000 mothers think!
If you are a Facilitator, you can create a poll at any time.
In the poll box on the right of the screen, select "Other Polls"
You will be shown a list of polls that have been conducted on Malaysiamums.com.
Select any one of these to see their results.
