lol, nowadays all milk brand almost same de la, no neccessary to buy meiji, well in fact i nv heard b4 meiji milk powder haha here is my recent comparisons
Best milk in SG:
1) Goat milk is best if u can afford\
2) Enfalac
Good range:
1) Similac ( but step 2 is heaty )
2) MAmil Gold
3) Friso Gold ( new range )
4 ) S26 ( heaty )
Oso got other range like NAN, dumex ( low range ) and alot more...
U can change as ur babies need to change stages of milk.
Cos my 1st boi i gave Enfalac ( last time i still can afford cos not very exp and only 1 kid ) Den when he 3yr old i change to Dumex normal range
My Gal taking mamil gold step 1 and 2. NOw she just started taking Enfagrow A+
My coming newborn i intend give friso gold the new formula.. Seems better than mamil. As for enfalac is way to exp now

closer to breast milk..
My bb keeps merlion'ing, think should change milk powder le.
Am thinking of getting Friso 1, Nan HA or Nan Pro....
I was also told that Nan formula is the closest to breastmilk but whats the difference between Nan HA and Pro.
If HA is for protection against allergies, what sort?
Any advice?

Hi Triquetra,
NAN HA means NAN HypoAllergenic formula
NAN Pro means NAN probiotic formula
My son is drinking NAN HA as he is slightly lactose intolerant. He drank Similac before this but is allergic and burst out into rashes.

I was recommanded to FrisoGold during my time they were good till now I still feeding my boy with it but of cos' now on level FrisoGold 3.
As for goat milk (Best Brand : Karihome) is confirmed the most expensive type but it is definately good for baby (if it is BB is suitable to it). u can search for this brand review to read before u decide ornot to give your bb.

my girl hv been taking Frisso since 3 weeks, she's ok with it, no hard stools thou.

Don't Give Your Baby Water to Drink

I have posted before in the forums that giving a baby water to drink is dangerous. (And just to be clear, we're talking about babies under 6 months.) It can cause malnutrition because instead of filling baby's tummy with breastmilk or formula, you're filling baby's tummy with water. Simply put, water doesn't meet the nutritional needs of a baby. Most parents know not to give water to a healthy infant, but failure to thrive syndrome and water intake are sometimes associated.
However, I was unaware that giving a young baby too much water to drink can also cause water toxicity. A baby has naturally intact sucking reflexes. This means that they generally drink to thirst and more importantly, when they're thirsty they drink what they need.
Babies' kidneys are still immature. When the kidneys get too much water, in addition to filtering out the excess water, the kidneys also flush out excess sodium. Excess sodium in the system affects the brain and consequently early warning signs of water toxicity are: irritability, drowsiness or other mental signs. In addition, a baby may also have seizures. This might be the first warning sign to parents that something is wrong. Other symptoms include swelling in the face, and lowered body temperature (around 97 degrees).
But What About the Heat and Constipation?
Again, babies don't need water. They need breastmilk or formula--period. They will get all the water they need (and the nutrients) from drinking breastmilk or formula. (This is by the way, another reason why experts say that feeding should be done on demand.) If you are feeding your baby on demand, even in really hot weather, he doesn't need water at all.
Likewise, if a baby is 6 months or younger and he is constipated, you should see your pediatrician--not give the baby water. (You pediatrician may advise giving water under very specific circumstances.) Babies older than 6 months, may well need and ounce or so of water at a time for constipation.
Also, parents should avoid diluting formula or giving drinks with electrolytes in them.
