Being a first time mom is a challenging experience. With all the new things you have to learn, it can get overwhelming. The first few years are the most difficult. While you want to keep your child protected, you also want to make sure that he experiences an amazing childhood. After all, as they say – Minsan lang sila bata!

It Starts with this One Nutrition Secret

There are a lot of ways to protect your kid. But did you know that one of the best ways to properly do so is by starting from the inside – your child’s tummy! Good nutrition plays an important role in ensuring that he’s healthy and protected. Kasi naman, a kid’s body defense actually depends on the health of his stomach where many, many millions of bacteria reside.

When people think of bacteria, they often think of them as evil. Sa totoo lang, not all bacteria are bad. There are good bacteria and bad bacteria, and both are always present in the stomach. But whenever there are too many bad bacteria, the stomach system is thrown off balance - making your child weak and an easy target of sicknesses like diarrhea. Having a lot of bad bacteria is caused by improper diets and in some cases, the frequent intake of antibiotics.

To help ensure your kid is protected and healthy, more good bacteria are needed to maintain balance in his stomach.

Probiotics and Why They Are Good For You

The good news is we can get good bacteria from probiotics. Probiotics are live microorganisms that have excellent health benefits when consumed. They help us digest better since it breaks down carbohydrates, sugars and protein. Research shows that probiotics may be effective for constipation and can cut short diarrhea.

Probiotics can be found in foods like yogurt and milk, which play a big role in your kid’s diet. Choosing the right milk is especially important because it works as a significant source of nutrition for your kid. Knowing what’s in your child’s milk can make a world of difference.

Specially developed by the best of Nestle Research, NIDO 3+ is the only milk that has Lactobacillus PROTECTUS. Lactobacillus PROTECTUS is a special probiotic that has plenty of good bacteria. In fact, there are millions and millions of them in each glass of NIDO 3+! So whenever bad bacteria attack, more good bacteria are on guard to help maintain the balance of your child’s tummy and protect his immune system.

Get Good Bacteria and More

Eto pa - aside from Lactobacillus PROTECTUS, NIDO 3+ also contains essential nutrients such as Prebio 3, DHA, Calcium, Protein, vitamins and minerals that your child gets complete and well-rounded nutrition.

With proper nutrition and lots of your TLC, you not only ensure your child’s protection, but also help him enjoy the amazing childhood that he deserves!
