YoMommy

YoMommy is not the beginning of a bad joke or a vernacular way to address your mother, it’s actually the name of a new yogurt for nursing and pregnant women from Stonyfield Farm. I think it’s a great idea to have a line of foods specifically targeted at pregnant and nursing women since time constraints during those times often make it hard to get quick and healthy nutrition. I had to make her a sandwich at 3:30 the other morning, a yogurt would have been much quicker.

“With little ones of our own, we know babies need healthy moms,” says Stonyfield Farm President and CE-Yo Gary Hirshberg. “We’ve created YoMommy to help expectant and new moms meet their special nutritional needs. We’ve also added DHA, a natural fatty acid that’s good for babies’ mental and visual development and good for new moms too!”

Each 4-ounce serving is 100 calories and provides 15% of the recommended Daily Value (DV) of Folic Acid, as well as 32 mg of DHA for a healthy pregnancy and mom’s ongoing health, including fighting the “baby blues”.

I think this sounds like a really creative idea on Stonyfield’s part. My wife and I try and eat as much organic food as possible and love the Stonyfield products, so we’ll keep an eye out for it once it hits shelves near us.
