The next day, Ye Fan had intended to see his mother off, but she declined.
With no other option, he simply had to respect Mother Ye’s wishes. Mother Ye also promised to keep Ye Fan’s secret for the time being.
After sending his mother off in the car, Ye Fan then drove to a baby formula store.
He arrived at a mid-range shop, parked the car, and walked inside. “Hello, sir, what do you need?” At that moment, a salesgirl came over with a smile and asked.
This young man looked so young.
It was hard to believe he was already a father.
“For a baby who’s just turned one month old, right, and also some other essentials. Can you recommend some? It’s my first time buying formula, so introduce the best, money is no issue!” Ye Fan said rather boldly.
Of course, we’re not short on cash!
For my own baby, of course, I want the best.
“Sir, you really are bold, please come this way,” the salesgirl in her twenties said with an instantaneous smile. This customer was certainly interesting.
Not bad, quite humorous!
Of course, she would cater to a customer’s request like his accordingly. “Hmm,” Ye Fan followed the salesgirl further inside, keeping an eye on the price tags on the counter.
There were so many different prices.
One to two hundred per can, four to five hundred, and even seven to eight hundred… they all seemed quite affordable.
“Sir, since it’s your first time here, I’ll give you an introduction. Formula is divided into sheep milk, cow milk, camel milk, donkey milk, and so on, which are all available on the market. Each type of formula has different benefits!” the salesgirl explained with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan was impressed.
The milk powder for children had so many intricacies.
There were quite a few kinds of milk powder he had never even heard of before.
Camel milk, donkey milk, what in the world!
Just hearing about them was enough to make one feel dizzy.
“So which kind of milk powder is the closest to breastmilk?” Ye Fan asked in
return.
He knew that breastmilk was the best, but there wasn’t enough for the child. The System was not dispensing brain-enhancing formula anymore, so he had to come out and buy it.
“The formula milk that’s closest to breast milk is infant formula, which is very similar to breast milk in terms of nutrition and taste, based on the needs of
infants at different stages.
Infant formula can be divided into three stages, with stage one formula being suitable for infants within six months. Stage two formula is for infants aged six to eighteen months.
Stage three formula is for infants over a year and a half. Parents can choose different stages of formula based on the age of the baby. If there’s enough milk, it is recommended for newborns to be breastfed.” At that moment, the saleswoman said to Ye Fan.
“Uh, I have quadruplets, and there’s not enough breast milk, of course. The babies have just turned one month old, so just tell me directly which one is better, more suitable,” Ye Fan said a bit awkwardly.
This saleswoman had suddenly given him so much information, and he couldn’t remember it all.
Besides, even if he could remember, he wouldn’t know what to do with it. “Let me introduce these few to you, all stage one, also for six-month-old babies,” the salesgirl said with a smile.
New fathers these days seem not to understand all this.
Talking so much indeed might’ve been a bit much.
“Okay,” Ye Fan nodded.
“Look at this one, it’s formula milk that has been enhanced with goat milk. The benefits of baby drinking goat milk powder are: goat milk powder has lower casein content that’s closer to the protein content in breast milk, which is better for the baby1 s normal growth and development; its molecular structure is small and easy to absorb. Goat milk powder has a similar protein structure to breast milk, with small molecules, containing a large amount of whey protein; it doesn’t contain allergenic foreign proteins, thus goat milk powder is easier to digest and absorb than other dairy products, and it doesn’t cause stomach discomfort, diarrhea, or allergic symptoms from dairy products,” the saleswoman introduced, holding a can of goat milk powder.
Ye Fan was listening carefully, nodding his head; the goat milk powder seemed good, healthy for the babies—he could make that out.
Of course, it was still good to have options.
You shouldn’t rush into a decision.
“Are there other options?” Ye Fan asked.
“Yes, look at this one.” Saying that, the saleswoman put down the goat milk powder and picked up another can from the shelf.
“This is camel milk powder. Camel milk has high nutritional value, does not contain allergens, and won’t trigger allergic reactions. The vitamin C content in camel milk is three times that of cow’s milk, and the iron content is ten times that of cow’s milk. Every too grams of camel milk contains 903 milligrams of calcium which is a high amount; much of the camel milk on the market is fake because camel milk is very precious and rare. However, our store is a nationwide chain, so you can use it with confidence. It tastes a bit salty, which can better promote the baby’s bone development and enhance their immunity,” the saleswoman said again.
“Then there’s this one, which is cow’s milk powder, enriched with DHA. DHA is not only important for the baby1 s brain development but also for the maturation of photoreceptor cells in the retina. Biotin can promote the development of the nervous system, dietary fiber is beneficial for the digestive system, etc. It also contains calcium, iron, and other various elements, so babies who drink cow’s milk powder can completely replace breast milk because the nutrition in the formula is also very comprehensive and balanced. The probiotic component in the formula can help enhance the baby’s bodily defenses.”
“These are all some well-known domestic brands, you can choose any. You might select two kinds, to transition the baby to new milk, which can be beneficial. However, you should not switch milk during the baby’s illness!” As Ye Fan listened to the saleswoman’s introduction, he learned a lot about baby formula and felt that both camel milk powder and cow’s milk powder were good choices.
Of course, cow’s milk powder should be the main one, and he could use camel milk for transitioning later on.
One can of formula could last a baby a week, but for four babies, it would be gone in just two or three days, so dozens of cans would be needed.
“Then get me the cow’s milk powder and the camel milk powder,” Ye Fan decided after thinking it over.
“Alright, sir. The cow’s milk powder is a thousand per can, and the camel milk powder costs thirteen hundred per can. If you process a membership with our store, you’ll be able to earn points and even receive many baby gifts,” the saleswoman said.
“Ok, give me ten cans of cow’s milk powder and five cans of camel milk powder. Also get me twenty packs of the better diapers you have here, and ten sets of little clothes for a one-month-old, for girls, four kids’ hats, thirty packs of 80- count baby wipes, and five cans of prickly heat powder. That’ll be all for now. Oh, and please help me carry them to the car; I’ll open the trunk right now.” With a press of his car key, Ye Fan’s car trunk automatically opened.
