I grew up with Hood milk. In fact, at one point we had a Hood Milk Man who brought the milk right to our door each week. In the 1990s my mom juggled a family, a career, and earned her master’s degree. She didn’t have time to worry if my sister and I were getting the proper nutrition. But she, like most moms, did worry. And that is why she chose Hood milk for our family. The white Hood milk jugs with the red caps play a vivid role in memories of my childhood. It was on the table at breakfast as we mixed the pancake batter or drowned our cereal. It was on table at dinner to fill our glasses as we reviewed our day. My mom was uncompromising on the food and nutrition she put on our table and in our cups, that is why she chose Hood. Now that I am a mom, I want to give my family the best too, that is why my family, for a second generation, chooses Hood.
In a world of difficult parenting choices Hood is an easy decision for our family.
Here are just 5 of the many reasons to choose Hood Whole Milk next time you are in your local grocery store.
1. Since 1846 Hood has been helping moms and babies make the switch from breast milk or infant formula. Children required the calories, fat, and cholesterol in whole milk for proper growth and development of their bodies and their brains. Use full-fat dairy milk to make the most of the switch from formula or breast milk to help your child stay on top of their growth and development. At age one year, most children no longer need to drink infant formula. Get them accustomed to drinking plain cow’s by mixing it with their usual formula. Start by swapping ¼ of the amount and work your way up to 100%.
2. Hood is a reliable source of calcium and vitamin D; two things children require for bone growth. Make the transition from infancy to toddlerhood with diary milk. It has more calories and protein than most plant milks, and plant milk often has added sugar that children do not need, especially during early development.
3. After their first birthday, your child can have about 16 to 24 ounces of whole cow’s milk every day. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children stay on whole milk until they are two years old unless there is some reason to switch to lower-fat milk sooner.
4. Hood is the delicious milk moms trust. It has an uncompromising commitment to provide every child with the highest quality milk that is better than good, because every delicious and nutritious drop of milk matters. You care about everything you give your child. Their milk is no different.
5. As a mom you want to provide your kids will all the nutrition your child needs. With 8g of protein and 9 essential nutrients per serving Hood milk provides the nutrition children need.
