Communicate with respect to unleash the potentials
Being a working mother, Marina has to communicate with different stakeholders at work while at home she needs to talk to her daughter, Noelle, and teaches her with patience, so as to understand what she thinks.
Like other working moms, though Marina is busy for work and family, she understands a good parental relationship takes time to build. She treasures every moment spending with Noelle. She remembers her daughter used to like princess figurines. After some observation, Marina discovers that Noelle has a passion for marine life, especially sharks and whales in which she can remember different species and special features!
Marina also cannot explain what changed her daughter’s mind. However, when she sees Noelle’s joy and curiosity looking at the sea animals and how eager she wants to read and learn more about the ocean, she understands that children should be able to develop and grow upon their interests. Even till now, Marina would spend family time at the aquariums and at the sea, in the hope that Noelle can learn more about the ocean animals through the process, so as to unleash more of her unknown interests and talents.
Just like Marina and Noelle, enjoy every heart-warming moment and witness child’s growth. ILLUMA® HUMAN AFFINITY® Formula shares same idea with every illumama, together strive to safeguard children’s health to unleash innate infinite talent.

IMPORTANT ADVICE FOR MOTHERS
Breast-feeding
Breast milk is the best for babies and provides the best nutrition and protection from illness for your baby. For most infants, breast milk is all that is needed for the first 6 months. Many mothers continue to breast-feed after 6 months and then give other foods as well. For advice on breast-feeding, consult your doctor or any other health professional, or a friend or relative who has successfully breastfed. Frequent feeding is the best way to establish and maintain a good milk supply. A well balanced diet, both during pregnancy and after delivery, also helps sustain and adequate supply of breast milk.
Advice especially for the working mothers
Your baby can still receive the benefits of breast milk even if you go out to work. Partial breast-feeding is better that bottle-feeding completely, so continue to breast-feed even if you have been advised to give other foods. If you sleep with your baby, he will breast-feed during the night without disturbing you. Before you leave home in the morning and again when you return, breast-feed your baby. When mixed feeding, always offer the breast before giving other foods.
Remember: Breast milk is the best and most economical food for your baby.
Seek advice
The use of foods which are not intended for young babies can be harmful. Unnecessary introduction of partial bottle-feeding or other foods and drinks, will have a negative effect on breast-feeding. Therefore, always consult a health professional before introducing anything other than breast milk.
Using a breast milk substitute
If a doctor or other health professional recommends a supplement to breast-feeding, or its replacement, during the first 6 months, it is preferable to use an infant formula meeting recognized quality standards.
When used correctly this supplies the nutritional needs of your baby in an easily digestible form. You will need more than 450 g per week if your baby is only bottle-fed, so keep your family circumstances and costs in mind before deciding whether to use infant formula.
As soon as your baby is old enough, feed infant formula with a cup and spoon.
