Summer is long over but there is no stopping kids from going outside to play even during the typhoon season, as playing under the rain is as much fun and exciting to them as being outdoors during a sunny day.

NIDO® ADVANCED PROTECTUS® 3+, Love That Protects

Parents are wired to keep a watchful eye over their children, making sure they are healthy and safe. Kids, on the other hand, would always want to go out, explore, and play with their friends. A child’s desire to explore out of arm’s reach usually sparks a semblance of fear in parents, prompting them to become restrictive of their little one’s day-to-day activities at times.
The reality is parents cannot be with their kids 24/7. There are times when they simply need to be away from their children to fulfill other responsibilities, like going to work and attending to household chores. The new NIDO® ADVANCED PROTECTUS® 3+ helps give them the confidence to do so, without having to worry about their little ones.



NIDO® ADVANCED PROTECTUS® 3+, Love That Protects
Loving protection like no other NIDO® ADVANCED PROTECTUS® 3+ has Lactobacillus PROTECTUS®, with the probiotic strain L. Rhamnosus, which not only helps protect children’s tummies but also helps support their defense against pathogens in the upper respiratory tract.

In every 45g serving (4 tablespoons) of NIDO® ADVANCED PROTECTUS® 3+ and NIDO® ADVANCED PROTECTUS® 5+, there are at least one billion colony forming unit (cfu) of L. Rhamnosus present.
#LoveThatProtects in action
In a recent event held at The Atrium, SM Megamall, NIDO® ADVANCED PROTECTUS® 3+ showcased how it helps moms show their children a love that protects through an aptly heart-shaped activity booth headlined by interactive parent-child activities.
For kids, moms, and even dads to join in the fun, they simply need to buy one (1) 370g pack of NIDO ADVANCED PROTECTUS® 3+ or 5+ from the nearby selling booth to get a set of three (3) wrist tags. Inside, they can win special prizes by evading the dangers of the forest through the sound-controlled game Shout for Love, hugging to catch yellow hearts at Catch the Love Bug, expressing their creativity by coloring templated artworks at Color Me Love, and stating their commitment through a mom and child handprint and answering the question “How do you show your love that protects?”



The different activities allowed the participants to demonstrate their creativity and teamwork, and at the same time, provided parents and their kids with an educational, fun-filled family bonding day with NIDO® ADVANCED PROTECTUS® 3+.






Catch the NIDO® ADVANCED PROTECTUS® 3+ Love That Protects booth at SM Megamall until August13. Watch out for announcements on Cebu and Davao legs.

The rainy days call for extra attention to your child’s health, especially since this is the time when diseases like common cold, influenza and pneumonia become widespread. However, there is also the challenge of keeping your little one protected without being too overbearing, robbing him of the fun of playing under the rain, making mud pies, or going on a worm hunt.

Here to help parents strike the right balance is the latest promo pack from NIDO® 3+, which comes with a FREE backpack hoodie.

This latest bundle is exclusive to 1.6kg packs of NIDO ® 3+ and 1.2kg packs of NIDO ® 5+. Available in leading supermarkets nationwide until supplies last. Each NIDO ® 3+ 1.6kg or NIDO ® 5+ 1.2kg pac k comes with one (1) backpack hoodie only.

The limited edition backpack hoodie comes in three designs. Choose between vibrant blue tang fishes, lovable sea turtles, and majestic humpback whales. Better yet, collect all three! Protection from within during the rainy days is, of course, just as important, and this is why good nutrition is crucial.

Developed by the best of Nestlé Research, NIDO® 3+ is the only milk brand with Lactobacillus PROTECTUS®, millions and millions of live good bacteria that maintain stomach balance, which in turn help strengthen the immune system.

Aside from Lactobacillus PROTECTUS®, each glass of NIDO® 3+ also contains other essential nutrients such as Prebio® 3, indigestible fibers that serve as food for good bacteria to grow and survive; DHA, ALA, LA and Taurine to support proper brain structure; and high levels of vitamins A, D, Calcium and Zinc to support overall growth and development.

So whether in good or bad weather, help protect your child with good nutrition. And how can you make sure that you are giving him just that? #CheckMoMuna, #CheckTheLabel! For more information, like thier Facebook (NIDO 3+).

As a mommy of 2 kids, giving the best for them is a must. Check all the necessary things to assure that the correct and proper care is achieve.

They say mothers know best but sometimes, even mothers need help too when it comes to making the right decision for their child, especially when it comes to their health. It is normal for moms to seek child care advice and parenting tips from experts as well as from family and friends with parental experience. However, there will be instances when they would end up more confused and less confident to make a decision after hearing varying recommendations or contradicting views.
NIDO3+ launches #CheckTheLabel, and educational campaign to encourage mothers to read and have a better understanding of food labels, so they can make smarter and healthier choices for their child. By checking the label, moms can verify nutritional claims, compare brands and choose which one offers the best value for money.

There's an instance during Grocery time that I take much time in checking the labels of the food that I am going to buy, most specially the expiration date. Sometimes if I am with my kids they felt that it's a decade already inside the grocery store. Well, that's a mommy who always check the items to make sure it is safe to serve for her family.

How To Read Labels
When checking food labels, take a look at the ingredients which are listed in the order of highest to lowest quantity. Watch out for health-sensitive ingredients such as sugar, salt, saturated fat, and sodium. When it comes to these, moderation is always key to better prevent the risk of obesity, diabetes and other lifestyle-related diseases.
Next, review the nutrition facts. It is important to go through each one to determine whether or not a particular food product meets the daily nutritional requirements of children, especially during their crucial growing-up years. Knowing the nutritional content can determine if a child is eating a healthy, balanced diet.

Another good reason to check the label is to identify nutrients that are unique to a brand. Not all food products like milk are created the same, so choose the one that provides for your child's needs, and more.
Developed by the best of Nestle Research, NIDO3+ is the only milk brand with Lactobacillus PROTECTUS, millions and millions of live good bacteria that maintain the balance of good and bad bacteria in the gut, which in turn help strengthen the immune system. This unique pro biotic can be found in every glass of NIDO3+ along with other essential nutrients such as: Prebio 3, indigestible fibers that serve as food for good bacteria to grow and survive; DHA, ALA, LA and Taurine to support proper brain structure, and high levels of vitamins A, D, Calcium and Zinc to support overall growth and development.

Sarah Lahbati Checks The Label

Lending her voice and support to the campaign is proud NIDO3+ mommy, Sarah Lahbati. Having experienced the same challenge when it was time for her to choose a growing-up-milk for Zion when he turned three, the first-time mom learned that the best way for her to make a decision was to do research herself and check the labels on her options. And by precisely checking the label, Sarah Lahbati is assured that she made the right choice with NIDO3+.
During the event Sarah Lahbati shared that she experienced so many suggestions from her parents, in-laws and even relatives on how to choose the right food for her child. “Trust your instinct, do your own research, at the end of the day your the mother and you have to trust your instinct, whatever you do shopping for food or milk, you must read the label.”, Sarah said. Take a glimpse on the video of Sarah Lahbati during the event.

Moms, have you ever been to the grocery and wondered what kind of milk you should give your child? From cow’s milk to goat’s milk, full cream to skim, liquid to powder—why should it matter anyway? Aren’t all milks the same in terms of the nutrition they provide?

The answer is NO.

The key difference that moms should take careful note of is the kind and amount of nutrients their children can get from it. Although all kinds of milk are rich in macro (carbohydrates, fats and protein) and micro (vitamins and minerals) nutrients, not all contain those that answer the needs of children at specific ages.

Kids during their early childhood years, for example, easily get sick because they have little exposure to diseases and therefore have not yet developed the immunologic defenses needed to fend them off. To address this, moms should provide their kids with foods that have the right nutrients, along with an age-specific milk that contains both probiotics and prebiotics.

Probiotics are live good bacteria that promote stomach balance and help strengthen the immune system. Prebiotics, on the other hand, act as a multiplier of good bacteria, ensuring acceptable good-to-bad bacteria ratio in the tummy and protection from within.

Studies reveal that the human brain grows about 3.5 times in mass from 0 to 5 years old. That is why kids during this time are able to learn and absorb new knowledge like a sponge. To support this, moms can give their child age-specific milk with high levels of DHA, ALA and LA, which are fatty acids that work together to promote proper brain structure development and normal cognitive functions.
All these and more can be found in NIDO® 3+ and NIDO® 5+. From the best of Nestlé Research™: NIDO® 3+ and NIDO® 5+ are the only age-specific milk brands with Lactobacillus PROTECTUS®, millions of live good bacteria that helps build your child’s bodily defenses.

NIDO® 3+ also contains a unique blend of natural fibers and nutrients called Prebio® 3, while NIDO® 5+ is enriched with CALCI-N® to help build healthy bones by providing better calcium absorption.

Milk plays a very important role in the overall growth and development of children, and so it pays to know what they need at different ages and stages of their growth for one to make the right milk choice.

Being a mother is no easy task. It can get too overwhelming sometimes, especially for those whose children are just in their early childhood years, because while mothers want to keep them protected, they also want to make sure that their little ones experience an amazing childhood. They are only kids once, after all.
As a full time Mommy, proper nutrition is a must. There are lots of reading materials and advices from other mommies of how and what is the best way to protect our children. Recently, I attended a Nido GUM (Growing Up Milk) Bloggers Kick Off event, whereas Mommy Bloggers learn more about proper nutrition.
The event was hosted by superwomom and proud NIDO® 3+ mommy. Bettina Carlos.
One of the Guest Speaker during the event is Dr. Agnes Calleja, M.D, who shared the importance of understanding age-specific nutrition in helping mothers make the right food choices for their kids.

I resigned last December 2015 and so starting this January 2016 my goal is to introduce veggie to my kids, they are 4 and 8 years. I admittedly that on my previous year as a working mom, one of my struggle is on how to add veggies on their meal. I did not monitor nor teach them to eat veggies.

Now that I am a full time mom, I am slowly introducing some veggies during our meal. It is really a great achievement seeing your kids eating veggies now though they eat a little amount of veggies, time will come that no hardship on giving veggies to my kids.

Fruits is not a problem to me, they eat lots of fruits everyday such as papaya, pineapple, apple, oranges, bananas and many more. They love fruits.

Fruits and vegetables are good sources of vitamins and minerals that benefit children in many ways. Aside from improved nutrition, these nutrient-dense foods also build up their immune system, prevent the risk of obesity, and promote healthy bowel patterns. However, most kids today are picky eaters. They constantly ask for sweets, eat fewer vegetables and request for the same food over and over again.
Here are some tips to help increase their fruit and veggie consumption which was shared during the event:

1. Make meal times more colorful by mixing green, leafy vegetables with bright-colored ones like carrots and squash. You can also portion it in such a way that there are more fruits into the mix for that added sweetness.

2. Keep children away from the TV during meal times and always have them eat on the table to limit distractions and promote good eating manners.

3. Be a positive role model and eat healthy food together as a family as kids at a young age are still most likely to copy what they see others do.

4. Teach kids healthy food choices by bringing them to the grocery and explaining the benefits of eating fruits and vegetables in a manner they will appreciate.

5. Involve them in the kitchen and show them how to prepare quick healthy snacks, so they won't turn to chips and sweets when they get hungry.

I will definitely try those tips for my kids. Sooner they will love vegetables and will ask to include it in their meal.
Next speaker is Ms. Patricia Turcuato, Lead Consumer Marketing Manager for NIDO Growing Up Milk (GUM), talks protection from within with NIDO® 3+, the only milk brand with Lactobacillus PROTECTUS® that helps kids have more good bacteria in the stomach so they don't become weak and vulnerable to sickness.
I am happy to share that my kids are #LakingAmazing, they are Nido kids just like their Daddy, who is Laking Nido as well. They love Nido Milk and I like the benefits of it for my kids.

The ability of children to ward off sickness and disease is also very reliant on the health of their stomach where bacteria reside. When people think of bacteria, they often think of it negatively. But the truth is, not all bacteria are bad. There are good bacteria and bad bacteria, and whenever there are too much bad bacteria in the tummy, the stomach system is thrown off balance, leaving children weak and vulnerable.

Ensure that your kids are healthy and protected from within at all time with NIDO® 3+ . Specially developed by the best of Nestle Research, NIDO® 3+ is the only milk brand with Lactobacillus PROTECTUS® , which are millions and millions of live good bacteria that are constantly on guard to maintain stomach balance and help strengthen the immune system.

Aside from Lactobacillus PROTECTUS®, NIDO® 3+ also contains other essential nutrients such as Prebio® 3, DHA, ALA, LA, Folic Acid, Taurine and high levels of vitamins A. B3, C, D, E and Zinc to support overall growth and development.

For kids 5 and Up, there is NIDO® 5+, enriched with CALCI-N® to help build healthy bones by providing better calcium absorption.


During the event, Mommy bloggers like me were given a first-hand experience of the free consultation with licensed nutritionists that NIDO® 3+ will be rolling out in select groceries and supermarkets nationwide. The 11-month long program starting February 2016 will help mothers know more about proper nutrition and protection for kids above 3 years of age.

What makes your mom #1?

It is said that the greatest validation that moms will ever receive will always come from their loved ones, especially from their kids. Whether it involves the grandest gestures of love or the simplest ones, as long as it’s from the people who matter most to them, it will always be special.

In celebration of Mother’s Day this year, NIDO FORTIFIED collaborates with dads and kids to be part of a movement orchestrating a unique and very personal surprise to recognize the #1 Moms in their lives through the NIDO FORTIFIED “Wear Your Love” campaign.

“At NIDO FORTIFIED, we feel that the best way to make moms feel special is not necessarily going big and full-scale but in the sincerest way. Nothing can make a mom happier than the reassurance from her family that she is loved, and that her role in the family is irreplaceable,” shared Denise Chua, Nestle Philippines Consumer Marketing Manager. “In line with NIDO FORTIFIED’s commitment to honor our moms as #1, we aim to make this year’s tribute to moms even more heartfelt by teaming up with Filipino families through the “Wear Your Love” campaign for mom.”

NIDO FORTIFIED “Wear Your Love” is a Mother’s Day initiative where kids are invited to publicly show their appreciation for their moms by declaring their heart-warming messages through customized shirts. Through the help of dad and other family members, kids are encouraged to answer the question “What makes your mom #1?” and craft their messages for mom at www.nido-fortified.ph.

The first 2,000 statements submitted to the campaign website will be transformed into one-of-a-kind shirts produced by local clothing brand Bench Lifestyle. Capping off this creative tribute to moms, each personalized statement shirt in NIDO FORTIFIED-inspired cans will be delivered to moms as surprise packages on Mother’s Day.

Kids can submit their messages for mom beginning April 8 up to April 27 or until supplies last. Join the conversations online by using the official hash tag #1mom. For more information on the NIDO FORTIFIED “Wear Your Love” Mother’s Day campaign or to submit your messages for mom, please visit www.nido-fortified.ph.

Here are the three (3) simple steps for you, your kids, and other family members to submit messages for moms at www.nido-fortified.ph.

Step 1: Confirm age. To start creating a shirt, click “Create a Shirt” or simply scroll down the website. You must confirm your age first before proceeding. If the user is younger or older than the age groups specified, he or she would need the help of an adult to join.




Step 2: Create a shirt. You have two options in crafting your message to mom: Submit a personalized 90-character message or select a pre-filled message from the drop-down menu. You also have to type in the name of the kid/s whom the message came from.



Step 3: Register. To proceed, you must provide basic details for the free delivery of the shirt and determine the size of the shirt of their mom. A confirmation message will appear once all fields and items are filled-out.






Upon completion of the basic steps, users will be led to the shirt gallery where the different statements shirts submitted by kids will be displayed.  

So, kids let your mommies be surprised on Mother's Day.
