What’s the Best Tasting Milk for Pregnant Women?




I just gave birth five months ago. When I was still pregnant, I was given the chance to try three different kinds of milk that is best suitable for pregnant women. Every time I visit my OB-Gynecologist, there was always a sample of milk especially made for pregnant women given by the promo representatives of each milk in the waiting area. I have tried at least three of them and I would like to give you my honest opinions regarding its taste because this kinds of milk are known to have unpleasant taste since it is loaded with vitamins and essential nutrients so it is tend to taste like medicine even if it is flavored.


First is Anmum Materna. I’ve tried Anmum even on my first and second pregnancy and I can say that it improves its taste since then. The original flavor tastes like fresh cow’s milk. It doesn’t have a stinky smell and for those people who used to drink an ordinary full cream milk, it has no other distinct taste except for its extra thickness and creaminess. Chocolate flavor and the new hazel nut flavor were my favorites.

Second is ProMama. We all know that ProMama and Anmum is the two well-known milk for pregnant women in the market. But honestly, I do not like the taste of ProMama. My Aunt gave me a box of it and I can hardly consume even a glass. It has this unpleasant smell and the taste of medicine is undeniable. But I believe that it has the same vitamins and nutrients for pregnant women.

The third one is Similac Mom. It is the newest in the market and I get to taste the vanilla flavor. For me it is too sweet, tastes good though, but I do not like my milk to be too sweet for my palette. But it has the lowest fat content among the three. It won’t give you unwanted fats which is best suitable for figure-conscious moms out there.

So, for me Anmum Materna tastes just right especially the hazel nut flavor. Highly recommended.

ENERGEN: My Tummy's Best Friend

I’ve always had a history of hyper-acidity  (also known as acid dyspepsia) since high school. I don’t know when or how did I get it, all I know is just it’s screwing me for over a decade. I am a slow-gainer. I was very skinny back in my elementary days. My mom let me tried different kinds of vitamins but none of them took effect on me. My dad is an OFW back then and when he comes home he jokingly asks my mom if she’s still feeding her kids because me and my only brother look like bamboo sticks (that’s what our bullies called us because we’re thin and tall) even if we get to eat whatever we want. Maybe we have a fast metabolism which everybody envies about especially now that I have kids already, eating everything that I want and still not getting fat. I remember the times that I’ve been hospitalized because of hyper-acidity. The doctor will always come up to a theory that I might be skipping meals but honestly not. Then he’ll ask me if I drink a lot of soda or coff...

Discounts and Privileges for the Persons With Disability

It was only last year when I heard about the PWD card that would give the persons with disability (PWD) the privileges entitled for their needs. The local government amended the Republic Act No. 7277, an act for providing for the rehabilitation, self development, and self reliance of persons with disability and their integration into the mainstream of society and for other purposes and otherwise known as The Magna Carta for Disabled Persons, was passed in March 24, 1992. I am a proud mom of a six-year old child with special needs. He is my second child who was diagnosed with Global Developmental Delay Syndrome. Ever since he was a baby, we noticed some of his traits on lack of potential at certain points of development that made us confused about what to do so we consulted to a Developmental Pediatrician. He was born as an eight-month premature baby boy, sickly and always in the hospital for a long period of time. We're taking good care of him with unconditional love and...
