Things to understand as a Mother

I really struggled with my baby’s health initially...there was hardly any improvement from her side and it didn’t help seeing other babies of her age doing so well. It made me extremely worried and made a researcher out of me. I would ask a few queries to my Pediatrician almost in each OPD. I was talking to my Pediatrician and sharing the challenges with my feed for my baby.

I learnt a valuable lesson in that discussion. I learnt that my feed (breast milk) contains Prebiotic HMOs. They are found abundantly in breast milk- in fact, Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs) are the 3rd largest component of breast milk! They not only do they boost the levels of good bacteria, but also prevent bad bacteria from causing infection in your baby.

All in all, Prebiotic HMOs are really helpful in preventing infections. At first, I was actually surprised to know how important prebiotic HMOs are for a baby’s immune system, but since then, I have not only looked for Prebiotic HMOs for my baby’s nutrition but have also shared it with fellow moms on and off parentune.
