We are pretty sure all you mummies know that during the first 6 months of his life, the very best milk that you can give your precious one will always be your own. This is because, in addition to precious bonding time, breastfeeding also transfers important nutrients and antibodies to boost your child’s immune system. However, with regards to protecting your child, there is only so much else that you can do when you stop breastfeeding.
Studies conducted by Nestlé have shown that most babies undergo a “protection gap” as they are weaned off their mother’s breast milk. This gap is a result of the baby’s breaking away from their mother’s immune system, and reliance on their own, which may not be fully developed yet. In addition to this, the introduction of solid foods and increased interaction with his surroundings exposes him to new antigens and potentially harmful bacteria, thus affecting his natural defences. As a result, most babies fall ill due to the lack of sufficient nutrients they require to protect them during this stage of development.
To combat this, Nestlé has come up with a one-of-a-kind formulation which aims to keep the bodily functions of your baby healthy and safe, even after weaning off breast milk. This formulation consists of important nutrients including vitamins A and C, iron and zinc, as well as clinically proven probiotic BL Bifidus, for your baby’s healthy growth and development.
BL Bifidus is a combination of probiotics and essential nutrients. This special blend of ingredients helps to reduce intestinal permeability and fight against harmful bacteria, thus providing an added layer of protection for your little one’s digestive system. As a result, your baby’s digestive system is enhanced, properly developed and more adaptable, reducing the incidence of diarrhoea.
So, worry not, parents, because with the introduction of Nestlé Cerelac, you can finally feel at ease knowing that protecting your baby from harm from the outside is no longer the only thing you can do!
Nestlé Cerelac is available in a range of flavours, including ‘brown and white rice’, ‘rice and mixed vegetables’, and ‘multi-grain and mixed fruits’. There are unique formulations for each age group, ranging from 6 months up to 3 years of age.
