You Are Not Alone: Choosing The Right Formula Milk For Your Growing Child

One out of every five mothers is a millennial, according to a study run by KRC Research. As millennial mothers, we are different from our mothers in how we juggle parenting and career. Multi-faceted and constantly evolving, we take on many roles at home and work. We are always connected to technology, consuming a lot more information, and using it to curate a parenting style most suited for us and our child’s needs. Above all, we are concerned about providing for our child, especially when it comes to nutrition. As they approach toddlerhood, mothers plan and research on the most suitable formulated milk powder for our precious bubs.

Safe from a few niche formula milk types catered for children with special dietary needs, most formula milk is made from cow’s milk. It then goes through milk improvement processes – making it suitable for children. However, parents today do not just want to know about what goes into the formula milk; they also want to know its origins. Here are some questions that go through a mother’s mind when they are deciding on a formula milk brand: Where is the milk from? Are the cows that are milked healthy? Is the milk safe for my child to consume? Has the milk gone through sufficient quality checks? What types of quality control processes have been done on the milk? How do I know if the milk is genuine? It shows that product transparency for authenticity, safety, and quality assurance is crucial when it comes to making informed decisions. Pregnant mothers want to know that they are feeding themselves with the best, so their womb gets the best. Mothers of growing children want assurance that their children are drinking milk from known sources rather than questionable ones. They also want to know if these formula milk brands are in control of the supply chain. In light of this, Friso Gold® has built a bridge to answer the concerns of mothers today.
