Proud spokes person of “Parent’s Choice”

One of my co-workers (Emma) is a die hard advocate of breast feeding. I love her enthusiasm and her passion about the subject but as most of us moms know; it is NOT as easy as it sounds for all mothers. I was proud to share my attempts at breast feeding but was also not ashamed of my defeats as well. My son had a very low birth weight and nursing did not come easy for us. I had to pump the entire time for the 1st 6 weeks of his life. It was a very painful, stressful experience for Jayce and I. When his doctor saw his weight picking up so fast he gave me the go head to begin formula. BOY WAS I RELIEVED.

Emma and I have had many work place debates about breastfeeding and its benefits. I completely agree with her but, what I try to get her to see is that everyone is not successful at it and sometimes formula is the next best thing for many moms.

Well recently her sweet little pumpkin bit her and she said “ok, enough is enough” and guess who she came to for advice on the best/affordable formulas on the market???  Me, me, me! I was so glad to share my “Parent’s Choice” story and direct her where to go to save. She has been using for a few weeks now and say her little guy is doing well  :)

Just another “Parent’s Choice” success story.
