Ahmad IQbal, baby formula food, breast feeding

Ahmad Iqbal will be 2 years old (24 months) by end of this month. He is growing and I’m proud of him. He is now very talkative and start repeating almost every single words said by umi and dad.

We are planning to spend holidays somewhere in Cherating (Pahang) or maybe in Kuala Terengganu or Marang. His big brother, Adam Harith will join us for the birthday celebration. It’s been nearly a year Ahmad Iqbal haven’t his big brother, due to my new job hectic life as an architect.

Even I’m busy, I’m trying my best to spend my time especially weekend to guide and teach Ahmad Iqbal on many aspects. Lucky me, he is a fast learner and can catch up easily what has been taught. I believe this is all related to his full breast feeding and extra food taken.

Me and my wife are so lucky because we save a lot of money because of the full breast feed. I still remember during bad days couple months ago, when my business dropped. During that moment Ahmad Iqbal still an infant. Otherwise, we have to get infant formula brands like his cousin. His cousin, Nurul Syuhadah fully depends on the infant formula as she can’t accept her mum’s milk. Besides, her mum is working.

Nurul Syuhadah family categorized as medium low income. They can’t simply buy expensive baby formula milk. Her dad always tries to get best baby formulas but comes with discount baby formula. I always remind him not simply buy random feeding baby formula just because they are cheap. He must check the status of the baby food formula , either they are nutritionally complete and meets the nutritional guidelines determined by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or Malaysian Standard.

When I have this thought, I’m still lucky because I don’t have to get any baby formulas milk or even a hypoallergenic baby formula for Ahmad Iqbal. He grow well even he had a complication when born.

Thanks God for giving my wife healthy breast that keep producing milk until now.
