Halal food stuff that is ok for muslims to consume, like kosher for Jews.

I buy just regular skim milk. So I buy what ever milk the store is selling for the least amount of money. They don't really vary all that much. So I am not really loyal to any particular brand.

I have forgotten what brand of milk I fed my kids. It was donkey years ago. But honestly I have never been influenced by tv commercial adverts. Thanks to my stubbornnes as my kids turned out to be brilliant boys even with unknown brand. Milk are all the same and come from the same source - cow, but are only packed differently and it is the packing that differentiate the market price.

i used nido also when my daughter was still a baby. of course, it has to have vitamins for extra support. fruits and vegetable will do also.

I gave birth my son in philippines.His pediatrician prescribed his first baby milk which S-26 gold, wow, its really expensive but it's not waste of money coz i have seen the good development on him.When on his stage two i give him a Progress gold and promil next, then plus his food supplement and vitamins. When i moved here in Uk, i can't find those products so i switched into new milk and baby's food. Now he never had his vitamins, no need coz he got nutrituos food to eat and milk.

I just use whole milk. My son's doctor said he should really only have milk a few times a week because too much can actually hurt a child. He said to just give my son a vitamin every day that way he is getting everything he needs.
