I am a mother of three kids and when my first child was born, it was quite scary. As a first time mother, I didn’t know what to do.
Of course, I learned a lot along the way and got plenty of advice from friends and family. But their advice could only take me so far. When it came to choosing a formula milk, one of the most common pieces of advice I got was to try and see which brand would suit my daughter.
I had tried so many growing up milk brands with her - including an organic growing up milk brand and also a soy-based growing up milk but she rejected all of them. She would leave a lot of milk leftover and the wastage also broke my heart a little. I was such a young mother back then and I really was at such a loss.
On top of that, she also had really bad constipation problems and I would see her face turn red from trying to pass a stool. It chipped away at my heart every time I saw her suffer that way.
I saw her behaviour change from bad to worse. She would be more ill-tempered from not being able to sleep well because of tummy upsets. Most days, she would just cry incessantly to no end.
