It’s hard to believe that my sweet little Pierce is already seven months old! it’s amazing (yet sad) how fast the first year really does go!

Each stage of infancy truly is amazing to watch babies grow and learn. In the past few months Pierce has gone from barely moving, to rolling, sitting up and now he’s getting ready to crawl! (Hide your toys, kids!!)
As a Mom of three (Pierce being my last), and as full time pediatric RN, my experience and knowledge has helped me to fully understand exactly how important of a role nutrition plays in a growing brain. Milestones like rolling, sitting up and crawling are all hallmarks of a healthy growing baby. A healthy growing baby that is well nourished and being fed what they need! Moms that exclusively breastfeed may never have to worry about supplementing or solely formula feeding. For moms like myself, who work full time, supplementing is a must. After each baby, I spent hours upon end pumping and trying to build up my frozen supply of breast milk. Inevitably, I would run out of stored breast milk around five or six months postpartum. Even though I was pumping twice a day at work, my supply wasn’t enough to keep my growing baby full. So I would begin to supplement with formula. The big question was through….which formula? I spent countless hours studying, attending conferences and even beginning to get my own certification in lactation consulting in order to have as much information as I could around breastfeeding and formula feeding.
With so many options for formulas on the market, it really is hard to narrow it down to the right one for you and your baby. Working as a pediatric nurse, I had the advantage of having the experts around to answer every question I had. The biggest one being – what formula do I feed my baby?
The answer was one that made sense for me and for my baby was Enfamil® brand. Enfamil® NeuroPro™ is the first formula that has an exclusive blend of MFGM (Milk Fat Globule Membrane which is also found in breast milk) and DHA. Both have brain building benefits similar to those of breast milk*.
I feel better knowing that even if I couldn’t make enough milk for my baby to drink, he is getting the nutrition that he needs. After I learned that Enfamil® is backed by decades of research on breast milk and multiple clinical studies on its brain building power, I no longer felt the stress that all moms feel around what to feed their baby if breast milk isn’t an option.
Enfamil® is dedicated to understanding the nutritional benefits of breast milk, and Enfamil NeuroPro™is born of that dedicated focus.
