With my four pregnancies, my OB would always remind me to drink y vitamins and at least 2 glasses of milk. She recommends Anmum  as my milk supplement. I believe that drinking Anmum helped a lot, all four are very smart! They have strong bones and I never had a problem with their digestion.

Anmum Materna provides Folate, DHA and Gangliosides, Calcium for baby’s body and brain development. It also provides  Iron to reduce the risk of Iron Deficiency Anemia and Vitamin B6 to reduce the effects of nausea  It also has Fibre to support a healthy digestive system. And because Anmum Materna is rich in folate, it is also recommended for women who are planning to get pregnant. It also comes in different flavors, vanilla, choco and hazelnut (what?!? hazelnut? bakit ngayon ka lang? haha).

Now that I am done with pregnancy and still continue to breastfeed my baby, Anmum is still there to help me through Anmum Lacta. It’s a breastfeeding moms must have as it contains Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B12, Folate, Calcium, and Iron and all these are essential during the breastfeeding period.

If you’re an Anmum user like me, I’m sure you would want to be a part of the Anmum Mommy Circle. Share your experience and celebrate motherhood through Anmum Mommy Circle. You can also ask for advice or even ask the in house nutritionist.

And now, the exciting part: Anmum Materna Giveaway!

Diaper Rash is never welcome on any mom’s home.. or baby’s bottom to be exact. I am lucky that with four kids, I never experienced diaper rash. For one, we don’t use diapers that often and if we do, I always make sure that the bottom is clean (using Johnson’s® Baby Wipes and applies Johnson’s® baby powder after changing.

I have learned from Dr. Dizon of the Pediatric Dermatology Society of the Philippines that any healthy baby skin can be compromised due to the following factors:

• Excess skin wetness
• Feces and fecal enzymes
• Interaction of feces and urine
• Increased pH leading to greater fecal enzymes and activity and
• increased skin permeability

And may lead to diaper rash because of the following factors:

• Fecal enzymes
• Skin friction
• Candida albicans (yeast infection)
• Unidentified chemical irritants

Dr. Dizon also made some points on the cleansing regimen such as the incidence of diaper rash using just water and wash cloth alone is higher vs. using wipes with emollient and that use of powder is beneficial.

Yes powder, talc, which was recently classified as “not classifiable as a human carcinogen” by the US American Congress of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH).

Cleaning for your baby’s bottom has been simplified with three steps, The Johnson’s® Baby Complete Care Diaper System™. An easy way to help protect your baby against diaper rash:

Step 1: Wipe
It is important to remember that not all wipes are the same. Johnson’s® Baby Skincare Wipes effectively protects your baby’s bottom because it doesn’t just clean, it helps prevent diaper rash like a diaper cream.

Step 2: Powder
Johnson’s® Baby Complete Care powder repels wetness by keeping pee and poop from touching the baby’s bottom. It also soothes rashes and helps reduce friction, giving baby complete protection from diaper rash.

Step 3: Change
Regular diaper changing every 3-4 hours is important to keep baby’s bottom clean and dry to minimize skin rashes and irritation in the diaper area.

For new moms and soon to be mommies, Johnson’s® Baby Complete Care Diaper System™ is a big help in terms of diaper rash management. Oh well, Johnson’s® was like mom’s partner in raising a child, my 9 year old boy still uses Johnson’s® Baby products (from shampoo to bath to cologne!).
