Similac Heritage + Free StrongMoms Membership

I am a Similac ambassador and received compensation for this post.

Similac has been providing optimal nutritional support for mothers to their infants for nearly 90 years. The brand was first created on a ship in the 1920s by Dr. Alfred Bosworth. Similac is a science-based company that extensively researches and studies within their field to understand how to best support infant nutrition and feeding for moms and babies.

Just take a peek at all the advancements Similac has made as a leader in the infant nutrition space over the years. From being the first to introduce iron into formula and branching out with specialized formulas for specific needs, they’ve been ahead of the game.

Whether you breastfeed, formula feed, or supplement, we can all be grateful for these advancements that provide the nutrients for infants that do depend on formula for their growth. It’s wonderful that advancements have given us a formula we can trust on when it is needed to care for those infants! Similac has used innovation in their products to cater to feeding needs from specialty NICU formulas to their SimplePac containers that feature a one-hand grip and scoop for cleaner bottle preparation and more.

I joined their free program when I was pregnant with my first and with my boys since then, too. It’s a wonderful resource and can save you a ton of money, too. Even though I personally have breastfed my babies full time, I have valued having access to these resources and keeping formula on hand as well for those times when it just might be needed. I absolutely value Similac for their commitment to supporting women and caring for infants.

Similac partnered with bloggers such as me for its Similac StrongMoms Ambassador Program. As part of this program, I received compensation for my time.

I breastfed my son but was having trouble at first and thought I might have to formula feed and Similac would have been my choice. Congrats on being a Similac ambassador!

My sister uses Similac for her baby girl. She had a really hard time keeping down breast milk and was spitting up a lot. This has helped so much.

What a great post, I used this formula when my middle child stopped nursing and even my first born, I think. Thanks for sharing more info about it!
