Mouka, Nigeria’s leading manufacturer of mattresses and bedding products, ushered in 2025 with its cherished tradition of celebrating families with newborns born on New Year’s Day. This initiative emphasises the company’s commitment to enhancing lives and fostering quality sleep from the cradle.
In collaboration with public healthcare facilities across 13 states, including Lagos, Oyo, Imo, Abia, Enugu, Akwa Ibom, Edo, Gombe, Kano, and Plateau, Mouka celebrated the first babies of the year. The company presented gifts, such as Mouka Dreamtime Baby mattresses, designed to ensure optimal comfort and well-being for infants, as well as pillows, diapers, and baby jelly.
In Lagos, Mouka partnered with the First Lady of Lagos State, Dr. Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu to honour the first babies born in new year. The event featured visits to Isolo General Hospital; Ifako-Ijaiye General Hospital, Agege; and Ikorodu General Hospital, where mothers of newborns received celebratory gifts. Additionally, a heartwarming party was hosted at Ifako-Ijaiye General Hospital for all the first babies born in Lagos from 2020-2024.
Baby Olaolu, a girl weighing 2.75 kg, was the first baby of the year at Ikorodu General Hospital, born at 12:34 a.m. Meanwhile, at Ifako-Ijaiye General Hospital, twins Osayomi made their arrival just minutes apart — a girl weighing 2.5 kg was born at 12:14 a.m., followed by her brother, weighing 2.49 kg, at 12:15 a.m. At Isolo General Hospital, Baby Lawal, a boy weighing 2.7 kg, was born at 1:32 a.m., marking another joyous start to the New Year.
Mouka’s Brand Manager, Mr. Tolani Tijani, who represented Chief Commercial Officer of Mouka, Mr. Dimeji Osingunwa, reaffirmed the brand’s dedication to promoting healthy sleep habits, stating: “As advocates of quality sleep, Mouka believes in nurturing healthy sleep practices from infancy. Our Dreamtime mattress is crafted with children’s comfort in mind to foster optimal physical and cognitive development. It is water-resistant yet breathable to keep the body cool through the night. It is also made with the right foam density to keep children comfortable while sleeping”, he said.
At the University Teaching Hospital in Ibadan Oyo State, the first baby, Asimiyu was delivered at 12:01 am, and the second baby, Olaniyi, was delivered at 2:43 am.
