As a mother myself, I’m always worried if my child Jacob have enough of nutrition from his daily food, constantly on the check on the nutrients facts. To be very honest, Jacob is very fussy with his choice of food. Sadly he eats according to his mood. L That makes my daily tasks more difficult as each time I prepare his meal, I will have to ask what does feel like having for breakfast, or lunch or dinner! Such a pampered king I know haha!
Jacob is a big big biscuit lover. Green food and meat are his biggest fear. Everyday I will have to chop the vegetable and meat into very tiny fine bits and hide in rice or noodle. Beside that, I tried to make a cute bento for him but unfortunately, he doesn’t appreciate it.
Although Jacob is 2 years and 9 months now, relying on feeding him solid food solely may not be the most ideal especially when he’s such a picky child when it comes to food. As such I always have to make sure that he would get all the nutrients he needs by feeding him formula milk and making sure that he gets all the protein needed during his growing up days.
When children start to have solid food, they will consume less formula milk. Many parents always get headache on how to let their children to drink more and I have the same problem too. We all know nutrition plays a big role in children development. And supplement is required if the children is not eating ideally.
Lucky myself, I was invited to the launch of the new and unique S-26 Gold® Growing-up Milk by Wyeth Nutrition. This new range of growing-up milk is improvised to meet the nutritional needs of young children, specifically for children 1 year and above. Wyeth Nutrition has invited its loyal S-MAMA Club members to join the event as well. (S-MAMA Club is joined by many parents and expecting mothers to share their parenthood journey together)
Through the sharing I’ve learned about this new range, packed with increased DHA (5 times higher), Lutein (40% more) and Cholice (20% more), scientifically developed and proven to better support vision, growth and development of child. It is specifically designed to have important nutrients, both S-26 GOLD® PROGRESS® and S-25 GOLD® PROMISE® are formulated with the BIOFACTORS SYSTEM™ – which contains DHA, AA, Lutein, Oligofructose, Calcum and Protein. Yes you heard me, all the nutrients your child need! All in one!
Maintaining a healthy diet means you need nutrients. These nutrients help to support children in order for them to grow and believe me, I started learning all these only after giving birth to Jacob. I cannot really remember how my mom takes care of me and my siblings, but one thing for sure is that my mom always prepared a balanced meal for my family. And now we are all healthy adults! I hope Jacob grows up everyday healthy too!
The nutrients designed in the S-26 GOLD® range growing-up milk contains this very important fat – DHA where it helps children’s brain to develop. It also helps boost children’s immune system so the gut functions very well.
Children rapidly grow during 1 – 6 years and they need to be supported with nutrients in order to develop child intelligence. And nurture them with the 3 key pillars – Body Smart, Brain Smart and People Smart (Multiple Intelligence). Parents should stop comparing their children with others, instead, they should start oberving their child and know their strength. That way you know how to choose the right milk products for your children, the right nutrient intake, as well as ways of cultivating mutilple intelligence.
At the event, there was also this nutrition workshop conducted by Consultant Dietician, Indra Balaratnam and Julie Woon. Since then I decided to make some side food to extend the versatile and usage of the S-26® GOLD growing-up milk and other healthy ingredients for Jacob. This simple cooking session is also to encourage parents and children to spend more family time together. As well as parents ultimate goal – to bring up healthy eating habits for children. These are some of the recipes I tried:
Egg Pudding
Ingredient:
2 eggs
150ml S-26 Gold® milk
80g Sugar
Very berry milk shake
Ingredient:
150ml S-26 Gold® milk
5 strawberries
10 Blueberries
Honey stars with milk
100ml S-26 Gold® Milk
A small box Honey Star ⭐
And Jacob loved all these recipes! I’m glad!
Jacob says it’s good! (haha!)
Jacob is growing up so fast sometimes I can only notice through our every day photos. My only wish for him is to grow up healthily and has a strong immune system. As you know bacterias nowadays can be very scary, with bad weather such as haze and etc. Sometimes I’m afraid of eating out with Jacob just because I do not want him to get affected by any bacterias. But I guess I can’t control that so instead, I am going to boost his immune system by giving him all the nutrients he should take. I do that during his grow up journey so that he grows up to a healthy and strong man. Build the foundation strong, and I will worry less next time! 🙂
