I remember when my kids were younger, right around 6 and under, I’d lose sleep over milk.
That’s right. Losing sleep over milk.
It was no longer about if I had enough breastmilk at this point, but rather, “They are growing! They need more nutrients and better nutrition! Are they getting enough from their solids or food? Am I doing it right?!”.
My biggest question then was, “Should I now switch to generic formula milk, branded formula milk, or just plain old fresh milk?”
Being the savvy, info-hungry mum that I was, I brought my question to the mummy groups on social media, the playgroups in the local parks where parents congregate with their kids, and my mum and aunties, naturally.
But let me tell you, both the voices on- and offline were divided! I really did not know which way to go down on.
There were just so many arguments over formula and fresh: fresh is best (but is fresh nutritious enough?), just go with formula (but what’s in the formula?), and the debate went on.
I mean, what’s a new mum got to do? Argh!
Fresh and Fortified? Yes, Please!
I know, I know! Of course, every form of milk or diet a mother chooses for her child will ultimately be the best choice.
Whether formula or fresh or plant-based, it is to meet certain dietary requirements of the child and there will be pros and cons.
At the end of the day, it all comes down to a child’s individual growing and developmental needs and the parent’s preference.
But boy, was mum guilt real!
I remember asking my husband in exasperation, “Why don’t they (anyone! lol) just come out with a sort of fresh milk but with all the goodness of formula milk and minus all the bad stuff?!”
I suppose it’s not a big ask to have the best of both worlds when it comes to our children, am I right?
Well, now there is one!
The Goodness Pledge
The pledge: “We believe our children deserve the very best. That means only goodness and nothing else! So, we start everything with a promise: that every sip, gulp, and drop of our milk is filled with only necessities and nothing else. That’s our honest pledge to you.”
In our family, we are big on keeping our word, if anyone of us makes a promise (like that after-dinner ice cream? Oh yeah, it better show up!), we’d be better delivering it.
So, when I read this pledge, I thought wow, that’s a gutsy pledge to make!
But Farm Fresh did it! I for one, am not surprised by its boldness to make such a pledge having witnessed its consistent growth over the last 14 years and counting, delivering ready-to-drink fresh milk and natural dairy products.
What’s In
Farm Fresh Grow UHT Fortified Milk is the first growing-up milk for toddlers produced by our very own, well-loved local dairy brand, Farm Fresh.
It contains only the necessities and nothing else to help children grow and develop wholesomely.
It is suitable for 1 to 6 years old (and above!), packed with 22 essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals, like:
- Higher DHA (algae) for brain development.
- Highest protein when compared to the most common powder formula.
- Natural calcium, the highest Vitamin D3 possible for bone growth and better calcium absorption.
- Inulin to maintain a healthier gut environment.
- Folate, Vitamin A, B12, and zinc for the formation of healthy red blood cells.
What’s Out
As a mother, I’m most concerned with what shouldn’t be in there, is not in there.
Since children came along, I started to learn to read the labels.
It’s not much fun, I know, but it’s an eye-opening process you will come to appreciate; trust me!
For example, did you know that maltodextrin is a highly processed starchy white powder (carbohydrate) that is added to foods to improve their flavour, consistency, and/or shelf life, and that it has no nutritional value?
Did you also know that vegetable oil is used to replace natural dairy fat that has been skimmed off from whole milk powder?
Or that naturally occurring calcium absorbs better than calcium carbonate, which is obtained from ground limestone?
I mean, it’s a no-brainer, but who would have thought any more, right?
Well, I am so glad to share today that Farm Fresh Grow UHT Fortified Milk is all natural. It has none of that yucky artificial stuff that may increase our children’s health risks in the long run.
