Store Brand Infant Formulas Defeat Mead Johnson

Store Brand Infant Formulas Defeat Mead Johnson

This post brought to you by storebrandformula.com. All opinions are 100% mine. Store brand infant formulas won a major legal victory last month. A United States Circuit Court upheld a $13.5 million false advertising claim against Enfamil maker Mead Johnson. This decision affirms families will continue enjoying the savings of Store Brand formula without compromising nutritional values. PBM Products successfully argued that Enfamil’s advertisements of superiority to store brand formulas were false and misleading. The store brand formulas offer the same nutrients at the same levels as Enfamil.  Circuit Judge Andre Davis wrote. “PBM cannot fairly compete with Mead Johnson unless and until Mead Johnson stops infecting the marketplace with misleading advertising. ” This ruling was a win for families who rely on store brands as well. Scared tactics and misleading advertising could make the difference in parent’s ability to buy new clothing or other vital goods for their children. Name brand products can be as much as double...

Little Miracle Missions|You Can Pay it Forward

Has it been fifty years already? Pampers is celebration the big 50th. I really should not be surprised, I mean after all I celebrated mine last year.

Look Mom – Free Belly Bag

Look Mom – Free Belly Bag

This post brought to you by CryoCell International. All opinions are 100% mine. Expectant mothers, are you familiar with www.Cryo-Cell.com ? Perhaps the word Cryo-Cell is familiar to you however, it is something new for me. I am familiar with the similar and related phrase stem cell but not Cryo Cell. Being unfamiliar changed with this Free Belly Bag opportunity. Upon visiting their site, I was amazed to learn the curative possibilities associated with cord blood.  In my childbearing years umbilical cords where just thrown away. Moreover, at that time this kind of information and advance science was obviously non-existent. It is difficult to fathom the idea of storing umbilical chord blood much less the idea of curing an otherwise incurable condition in ones child. Moreover, if I were soon to be a mother I would definitely investigate the concept of storing the umbilical cord blood at the bank. As most mothers, we want our children to be healthy...

Your children, my children, our children

Your children, my children, our children

The number of underprivileged and disadvantaged children in our local communities is ever growing. I believe caring for children is everyone’s responsibility. Over the years, hubby and I have supported the local youth through volunteering, opening our home to local kids, as well as monetary donations. There is no good, acceptable reason for our children to live without basic needs, a sense of belonging, or a lack of love. Children are the future, a reflection of who we are as parents, as a community, as people. America’s Children in Brief: Key National Indicators of Well-Being The Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics (Forum) is a collection of 22 Federal government agencies involved in research and activities related to children and families. The forum reports based on child well-being indicators spanning seven areas: Family and Social Environment, Economic Circumstances, Health Care, Physical Environment and Safety, Behavior, Education, and Health. The report revealed in 2010 health insurance coverage rates...

Romantic Valentines Day Getaway

Romantic Valentines Day Getaway

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Hiltons of Branson. All opinions are 100% mine. Branson Missouri seems to be hot place for vacationing these days, especially for Valentines Day. Maybe being located in the heart of the Ozark Mountains has something to do with Branson’s popularity in general. Perhaps featuring modern day entertainment in conjunction with the serenity of an Ozark Mountain setting makes a Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing Valentines Day ultimate getaway location. The Romance Package includes special touches such as complimentary sparkling wine or cider upon arrival in room, breakfast for two served in room, along with full use of the health club, pool and whirlpool spa. Imagine having the choice of a standard king size hotel room, hotel suite, or better yet a one bedroom cabin in a hotel ranked 16th among all overnight leisure vacation destinations in the country.   Is this not the vision of a true “do not disturb”...

Infants Formula – New and Improved

Infants Formula – New and Improved

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of PBM Products. All opinions are 100% mine. Infant formulas have changed greatly since my childbearing years. However, the general age recommendations remain constant. Infant formula is generally recommended until age one, followed by whole milk until age two. It is important to discuss changes in feeding with your doctor prior to making a final decision.  Most doctors believe reduced-fat or skim milk generally isn’t appropriate before age two primarily because it doesn’t provide enough calories or fat to promote early development. The variety of infant formulas available today is simply amazing and frankly speaking, a bit frightening. A quick walk down the baby-feeding isle might just overwhelm a new mother.  There were many long-standing familiar brands along with at least ten other brands unfamiliar to me. To further overwhelm each of these brands have different bases such as milk based or soy and even organic milk based. Coupled...
