Milk,
Morning Rush! Save by the Milk.

Since the day I become a mom, preparing milk for my babies now become kids
is the newly added daily routine that I am almost not notice for almost 10
years and still counting...=)
Back to old days, I've been preparing natural milk
Breast Milk for two consecutive years. In fact, breast milk is the
best milk for babies and no other milk can replace it in terms of
everything like antibodies, nutrition, brain development, etc. So I never
trade my breast milk to any other existing formula milk in the market for
my babies. How I did to prepare my own milk? When I gave birth my eldest,
I've been into a corporate world under RND (Research and Development)
Department in one of the Electronic Manufacturing Service companies here
in Cebu. Working more than 8 hours a day away from my newborn is not a
good idea because I have to feed her every now and then so that time we
bought an electric breast pump (Pigeon) to collect my breast milk during
night time and in the following morning. I stored them on the freezer and
then thawed by batch. About 2-4 ml of breast milk in one container (small
milk bottle). You know what, I enjoyed watching the different colors of
mini milk bottles inside the fridge. One thing, as far as I remembered I
always bring that electric breast pump and mini cooler box with milk
bottles and ice inside for me to collect my breast milk during work breaks
and lunch time at HR room then store them at the office fridge during
working hours. That's how I surpassed my way of collecting breast milk for
two years . I said only two though I have four kids because I work from
home since I gave birth to our 3rd and 4th child so I can breastfeed
anytime. Hassle, not anymore! =)
My children became toddlers (2-5 years old) so I gave them the
Nestle NAN HA formula milk for 5 years as prescribed by their pediatrician, Dr. Jose Laddy Go of Chung Hua Medical Arts
. And now they're grown ups, I prepare the school-age milk NIDO
also recommended by him. Now speaking about school, my kids
class schedules really freak me out every morning during
school days. Just imagine my second child's schedule is 6:20 am followed
by 7:30 am then, 2 kids around 8:00 am in two different schools (public
and private). I really need a flash speed to come on time on those
schedules. Wishful thinking! =) Mostly, we're late.=( No heartaches,
life is like that a merry-go-round of late s and early s. =) It takes
5-10 minutes going to school from our home by riding a scooter to avoid
traffic along the road. Looks like I've been doing a marathon everyday
by going back and forth again and again to schools. During morning rush,
giving milk full of vitamins & nutrients to them saves me a lot of
time before they go to school. When I nourish my kids by glass of milk
and oats, I am confident that I gave them what supposed to be eaten full
on breakfast. For me to fuel up after those rush hours, I drink up skim
milk. Why skim milk? It's the less fat milk compared to low fat milk.
Take note that the fat content of skim milk is only 0.3% whereas low fat
milk is around 1.5% so it's really good for healthy diet without
sacrificing the milk taste compared to non/low fat milk. So grab a glass
of milk now. Enjoy drinking!
