Comforts Brand Firefly

As a mother myself, I know the benefits of breastfeeding. Although I was not able to breastfed my daughter because of some health issues, I did my part in making sure that she can have my breastmilk. I diligently pumped (using electric breast pump) my milk and store it in a breastmilk container and bring it everyday to the hospital so that my daughter can have it. It was an extra effort and I was not able to enjoy the mother-daughter bond while breastfeeding but I felt satisfaction because I did my best to make sure that my daughter can have my breastmilk.

As much as I am pro-breastfeeding, I don't condone those mothers that opt to use infant formula. Infant formulas such as Comforts for Baby contains all the essential ingredients that must be in infant formula as dictated by the FDA and required by the Infant Formula Act. Comforts for Baby infant formula contains the lipids DHA and ARA, which are associated with infant mental and visual development. It is fortified with iron and contains all the vitamins, minerals.

Fresh Milk (Transition)

Andrea is already one year old. The last time we saw her pediatrician, she told us that we can now switch from formula to fresh milk.

Lucky for me, Andrea likes the fresh milk. She likes it warm. She giggles when I give her cold milk and just bites the nipple and not take the milk so i have to warm it up before giving it to her.

I didn't have a hard time with the transition. I just give it to her and she took it right away. I still have few bottles of Similac but I decided to just give Andrea fresh milk. I assume that it would be easier for us (especially going to Philippines) that Andrea will now drink fresh milk instead of formula.

Fresh milk is cheaper (as in way cheaper) than formula for sure!
