During pregnancy the development of the baby inside the womb of a mother is very significant. The mother's nutrition and nutrients intake have important role in the development.
The first trimester of pregnancy
where the neural development happens to form, which will be the
brain, must substantiate with important nutrient such as folate.
Ferrous, other minerals and vitamins should be added to help develop
the baby's body. Other supplements such as DHA, linolenic acid and
essential fatty acids are mixed to help the baby's brain and body
development. Some milk are augmented with probiotics to aid the bowel
movement of mothers who are experiencing constipation during their
pregnancy. Calories content of milk is also important to know,
because too much of it can gain weight of the mother and the baby's,
thus enough calories to sustain energy during pregnancy must contain
by prenatal milk.
Another issue for
prenatal milk choice is the taste. As we know pregnant women are
meticulous and have especial way to their tastes. Some pregnant women
want only plain milk flavor, for coffee drinkers hazelnut or
chocolate. Most mothers choose Anmum Materna when taste is a
criterion. They say that its taste and palatability are enjoyable and
relishing compare to other prenatal milk products. Also Anmum Materna
has different variants right now. The new Vanilla Mango flavor is
acceptable to pregnant mothers and said to surmount the taste of the
other 3 flavors.
One more thing is
advertising of the milk product which can attract customer to
patronize it. OB-Gyne doctors claim that most patients have already
chosen Anmum Materna, even they prescribe other prenatal milk product
they still insist it. These are the challenges to other prenatal milk
producers to how they compete with the Anmum Materna in fame and how
to innovate likable taste for pregnant women.
