hi moonster,

my baby just turned one last month, he was previously taking nan ha1 kasi sensitive ang skin nya. he is now taking pediasure which was recommended by our pedia. im still observing if he likes it and no allergy popping out.

his pedia also recommend promil kid, enfagrow and nutren jr. but sabi kasi ng pedia namin, magiging chubby our baby sa pediasure, medyo mataas kasi sya compared sa normal filipino height but his weight is normail din. But i want him to be chubby ng konti super active, malikot kaya hindi chubby. Mahal nga lang yung pediasure pero okay lang as long as he is happy and will gain more weight.

Better ask your pedia for his recommendation sa milk.

By the way to other mommies out there, ilang ounces/bottle of milk na iintake ng babies nya when they turned one? medyo panic kasi ako pag hindi sya nakakarami ng milk intake, he super loves solid foods nowadays.

Thanks

my franco ,whos turning 1 yo next week, consumes 7-8oz of milk 3-4times a day. From breastmilk+nan1 HA, to nan2 HA, Im planning to change his formula already, ano kaya ok? Ok lang sakin kahat mahal basta magandang klaseng milk. Pero I dont think he needs Pediasure kasi ok naman weight nya and all. His pedia referred Progress lactofree. kaso ang hirap naman hanapin. wala kami makita malapit samin.

Kayo ba, ano milk ng baby nyo when they turned 1? does anybody still remember? yaw ko nido or lactum or something, parang kulang naman yun sa sustansya. IMHO lang ha. preference ko lang yun.

singit ko lang, maganda nga ang Avent ISIS breast pump. Ive had one but never got to really use it kasi dami ko ginagawa nun. Im selling it. so PM me if youre interested. thanks ;)

correction on my previous post, wala palang Progress Lactofree, my pedia prolly meant, Enfagrow lactofree. Yun nalang binili ko.

my son migs is 1 yr old & 7 months now. he's drinking Pediasure too (vanilla flavor). Manson drugstore's discount of 5% is a big savings. P 734 lang ang kuha ko. super active ang baby ko. he's curious of almost everything around him. he ask's a lot. he already counts & knows the parts of the body. sulit **** ang gatas nya kahit mahal.

dominique yan ba iyong tig 900mg? saan yang Mansons? btw tip ko pag out of stock na sa Mansons punta ka ng Mercury at bilhin mo iyong 1700MG na lata 1400 lang. though mas mataas sila ng 1centavos sa Manson pero kung may suki card ka eh ok na din kahit papaano.

sabi ng pedia ng anak ko, nagrerepackage daw ang mead johnsons ng enfa milks nila. by end of May lalabas na daw yung bagong packaging ng milk. sana bilisan nila 'no. baka mawalan na sila ng customers :bashful:

Nilabas na nila yung mga na repackage. Nakabili na ako sa mercury eh... Kaso nde pa sa lahat meron... Ilan ilan pa lang... Nalibot ko na kasi yung mercury sa paligid namin eh... then nakatagpo naman ako at the end...

My baby is taking Enfapro A+. Ngayong 1 year old na sya pedia recommended Enfagrow A+. Pero matigas kasi ang ulo ko at pina-try ko sya ng Lactum, (my cousins are taking Lactum and parang Ok naman sa kanila, so I tried it on my baby as well. Kaya lang madalas naman sya magpoop, medyo basa pa. Sinabi ko sa pedia ko pinagalitan pa ko pinagtitipiran ko daw anak ko hehehhe!

Kaya now I bought her Enfagrow Lactofree (just for her stomach problems na caused ng Lactum) and soon Enfagrow A+ na ang bibilhin ko.

Nagtataka lang ako Lactum and Enfagrow both from MeadJohnsons and pareho lang naman halos nutrition facts, pero bakit ganun, mas mura ang Lactum? :D

My baby girl is premature-baby so first formula milk niya is pre-nan, then my pedia suggested switching to neosure pero napansin ko na naging colic sya sa neosure. So switch uli sa NAN-HA1, then NAN HA2, then Enfapro. Now she's taking Engrow A+. Pina-try ko rin ng Lactum baby ko kasi I saw in the ad na mukhang ok naman yung nutrional values, unfortunately di nagustuhan ng baby ko yung lasa. Sayang kasi big can pa naman yung binili ko, binigay ko na *** sa pamangkin ko. I want to change her formula again kasi medyo mahina sya uminom ng milk (although super duper kulit!). I've asked my pedia and she said ok daw either pedia sure or gain advance. Mataas daw calories ng pedia sure so i decided ipa-try yung gain sa kanya. Bumili ako kahapon, yung nasa box lang muna to test kung iinumin nya, baka kasi di na naman magustuhan yung lasa. Ok ba yung gain? Any other suggestion?

^ If you're a Wyeth formula user, simply look at the bottom of the can and avoid manufacturing dates from May 23, 2006 to July 26, 2006. That is if you can still find cans with that manufacturing dates. Most of the formulas out today were manufactured Nov 2006 up to the present.

fyi.

Happy Parenting! :)

doesn't gain have the highest nutritive value among all infant formulas? nagcompare ako sa grocery and i switched from enfalac to gain because of that. i'm shelling out 1350 every two weeks just to give my baby the best formula she could have.

*** pedia ng baby ko ayaw magrecommend ng gatas? bakit kaya?

my baby is turning 1, gusto n din sana namin sya ilipat ng gatas. she's taking NAN2... eh nag susunod ng nestle product is anchor and nido... parang ayaw ko naman nun... gusto ko sana progress gold kasi one of my officemate testify n maganda daw... natakot naman ako dahil s nangyari sa wyeth... hay di tuloy namin alam kung ano ang bibilhin...

with what happened sa wyeth, all you have to do is check the manufactured dates at the bottom of the can, although i HIGHLY DOUBT na meron ka pang mabibiling milk na manufactured on those dates. i'm a wyeth user too, and so far, everything is well.

:) Hello everyone!!! alin ba ang mas ok progress gold or gain plus for 1 yr old baby. any feedback pls...:bop:

depende sayo yun, and the best person to ask would be your pedia. i think she would likely recommend gain if your baby is a little underweight or isn't gaining much weight. :)

both my daughter and son used s26 until 6 months.

daughter (5 year old na ngayon) - s26, gain, enfagrow, enfakid, nido then lactum na ngayon --> combined iyong vanilla and chocolate flavor.

son (1 year and 2 mos) - s26, promil and promil kid.

sabi ng pedia namin, hindi daw advisable ang s26 gold, kasi medyo nakaka plema ata. kaya s26 regular use namin.

gain - nakakatalino (daw) but super likot ang kids (as with my daughter and nephew).

Oh JESUS kaya pala I had been giving my baby s26 gold since she was born kasi recommended ng pedia nya until now she's almost 6 mos old. KAYA pala prang lagi syang may plema. And I couldnt understand where that pesty phlegm is coming from grrr.... that's why they say mommies have the best knowledge when it comes to child care imagine (for 6 mos!!!! ngayon ko lang narinig na the formula might be the culprit) Tsk tsk

BSCN

Jul 20, 2007, 07:49 PM

my daughter's 6 years old now... enfakid a+ chocolate flavor ang tini-take nya... kaya lang ang hirap hanapin nito... kapag vanilla flavor naman hindi nya masyado type... iniisip ko tuloy palitan na lang ng iba, may alam ba kayong ibang milk na chocolate flavor pero ok naman ang nutritional value? hindi naman din kasi sya tumataba dito, ewan ko siguro talagang ganyan lang sya kasi malakas din naman sya kumain bukod sa pagti-take ng gatas...

*** baby ko naman e breastmilk until now pero nung 1st 6months niya 1/4 is s26 gold

6-10months breastmilk + Nan 2

10months- until now (1 yr & 2months) is breastmilk + Nan 3

balak ko magpalit this august, pero wala pa akong mapili e.. pihikan kasi sa milk si baby kaya kami nag-stick sa NAN dahil ayaw nia ng iba....

____ may mga nag-take ba dito ng JUNIOR BRIGHT??? kasi ang promo nila ngayon is *** Hi 5 na vcd. My son loves hi5 kasi e...

do a self inspection. kapain mo batok, ilalim ng baba and kilikili ni baby, if may lumps ka nakapa, pa check up ka, ask for a chest xray to be done and if pwede pa culture mo yung plema. warning signs ng primary complex yan.

Our baby is on Nutramigen and it's been out-of-stock for three weeks now. He doesn't want to drink other formulas kaya he already lost 1 kilo. mead johnson is of no help, one person lang sa customer service hotline nila and wala naman valuable info to give. paging owners of pharmacies, baka you have stocks pa of nutramigen please send me a message. thanks!

Nov 7, 2007, 02:29 PM

hey sis tenton, my baby is on Nutramigen also (since birth). It's out of stock talaga. We were able to buy 13 cans 2 months ago, I think, in Mercury, Tagaytay pa. We only have 2 cans left. We tried switching to NanHA2 since it's also hypoallergenic. But she doesn't want to drink it. We tried mixing 1oz of NanHa2 and 3 ozs Nutramigen, she drank it but she threw up after an hour. almost 5x yata syang nagvomit that day. I don't know if it's because we mixed NanHA2 with Nutramigen or because of NanHa2 (her tummy can't digest it pa rin). We also tried Promil Lactose Free and Enfapro Lactose Free before, but ayaw din nya. We're really worried when she runs out of Nutramigen.

Nov 13, 2007, 11:01 AM

any feedback on Enfapro A+? magpapalit na kasi ng milk si baby dahil 6 months na, yun ang nirecommend ng pedia . Infant formula niya is Similac. Ano ba mas ok, GAIN PLUS or ENFAPRO A+? Baka kasi manibago ng lasa si baby. Kasi GAIN PLUS and SIMILAC gawa ng same company baka mas malapit ang lasa. Thanks!

Nov 14, 2007, 11:31 PM

hello Shiri, i hope magka-supply na ng nutramigen soon. we've been asking relatives abroad to buy nutramigen for us pero sa UK may two types kaya hindi malaman which one to buy. sa US ang brand name nya is Nutramigen Lipil, we've already tried it and nagustuhan naman nya. very costly nga lang pagbili and shipping cost pa. take advantage of your relatives visiting for the holidays. :)

another local alternative we tried is Alfare from Nestle. so far hindi sya nag-vomit. if he doesn't have any reactions this week we'll shift him to Alfare. btw, does your baby have GERD?

Shiri

Nov 16, 2007, 11:37 AM

same taste din ba sya ng nutramigen dito? how much is it in the us? in UK, they have nutramigen 2 yata which is for older babies yata. i wanna try that sana for our baby, she's 11 months old, we have relatives in London but I know it's gonna cost a lot.

magkalasa lang ba ang Alfare and Nutramigen? Gusto nya kasi kalasa talaga ng Nutramigen. She's on Isomil now, no vomiting and rashes but she doesn't like the taste. Suck lang sya ng konti then ayaw na. We had to use a dropper para makainom sya ng milk but super kawawa kasi iiyak sya lalo. She's losing weight coz wala talaga sya naiinom na milk and she's so matamlay na.

she doesn't have GERD. she's allergic to cow's protein.

tenton

Nov 17, 2007, 12:08 PM

same taste din ng nutramigen dito. it's $28-30 depends on which state ka kukuha. tinitipid talaga namin. he's already 1 kaya we feed him solids during the day then pag matutulog na mag milk. ubos na nutramigen namin and so far ok naman Alfare. medyo iba din ang taste ng alfare, distinct kasi yun sa nutramigen eh.

he has GERD kaya he needs milk until he's 4 according to his pedia-gastro. sana magka-stock na ng nutramigen.....

sororityslut

Nov 25, 2007, 08:48 AM

for my first baby, frisolac milk nya, ok naman mataba at very active, ngayon 3 yrs old na sya, frisogrow na, nagtry ako ng lactum at nido pero ayaw nya ng lasa. ngayon sa 2nd baby ko, which is 3 months na, bonna ang milk nya. mas mataba sya compared sa first baby ko. pero sabe nila nakakataba daw talaga ang bonna kaya *** kulang sa nutritional value compared sa mamahaling gatas.

Hello Shiri, we just got news that Nutramigen is available in Baclaran Mercury outlets. fyi lang. Merry Christmas!

my son will turn 2 years two weeks from now, his pedia allow us to change the flavor of his formula from Pediasure Vanilla to Pediasure Chocolate flavor. Nag suggest din siya if we want to try Nutren Junior. I tried it ( Nutren Junior ) once, and i think he likes the taste (atleast bago sa lasa ng anak ko). Nakaktuwa kasi yung 400grams na Nutren Junior nauubos niya for 3 days lang hinahaluan ko pa ng Cerelac Rice and Wheat yun ha.

Any feedback from Nutren Junior mommies?

just came from the pedia today for the 6-month well check up. i asked if there is a need to change formula milk (our baby feeds on similac advance since birth). pedia said similac is still fine, the transition to another formula may be necessary at age 9 months to prepare the baby for whole milk.

Hi! My 13 mos old has been drinking Isomil since birth. When she turned 1 I tried introducing other formula brands but she rejected all of it. Is there any mommy here who had similar experience as mine? What milk other than Isomil did your child like?

hi mulberry, my daughter's pedia recommended similac before then nag-isomil sya nung mag2 months (forgot the reason, if not allergies baka sa poop). i remember before 6 months nag-enfalac na kami kse bukod sa mahal ang milk ayaw rin namin sya masanay sa soy based milk. ok naman sya, hindi nga lang sa A+ kse constipated si baby dun. regular enfa series lang, tapos ngayon kakatapos lang nya sa enfapro, 1 na sya today. we're still choosing milk. i bought a box of nido just to test kung ok sa kanya, if not baka tuloy na namin sa enfagrow.

I use S-26 for my 2 1/2 months but she recently she always poopoo, (3-4 times a day) and always constipated. Her pedia recommended NAN HA 1 but because I don't patronize NEstle products is there any recommendation. I want try to Similac.

Yep, it is difficult to find enfa A+ esp the bigger can (950g) not until last Friday, we found so many stocks at SM (Sta Rosa) & with different packaging na sya…So we bought na 2 cans which is good for 2 weeks..

im a first time mom with twins. hindi ko sila kaya i breastfeed ng 100% kaya nag formula milk din ako. enfalac a+ okay naman sa dalawang baby ko. tanong ko lang po kung okay lang na gamitin pantimpla ng gatas nila yung wilkins? o distilled o mineral water? please reply. thanks.

it's better if you use distilled water, not mineral water.
if i remember it correctly, dr.brown is distilled water (sencia na, once or twice lang me nakagamit nyan eh, BF kse si baby before).

s26 for infants then promil.. best milk for formula milk.. but ofcourse walang tatalo sa breastmilk.. promil or gain milk.. it depends on the stage of ur baby...

im a first time mom with twins.kaka one month lang nila today.ang hirap sila i breastfeed kase madalas sabay sila nagugutom. di naman kalakasan gatas ko kaya ng formula milk din kami. okay naman sa baby girl ko *** enfalac a+.everyday siya nagpupupu and okay naman.kaya lang yung boy ko, dati, every other day cia napupu.ngayon naman 3 days na siya constipated.malakas naman siya dumede ng tubig. ibig bang sabihin non, kelangang palitan ko na yung gatas ng baby boy ko?:confused:
Once your baby is about one month old, he may start having fewer bowel movements. Formula-fed babies poops slow down at about a month as well. However, formula is more likely to cause constipation than breast milk. Most formula fed babies will have about one bowel movement a day If your baby goes longer than two or three days without a bowel movement and he is formula fed, you should give your pediatrician a call.

hi mga mommies,, sharing lang

i gave birth to my baby ianne C-section, the hospital or rather the pedia who checked on my baby sa hosp gave her s-26 gold..kaso napansin namin na right after sya magdede, nagpu-pupu agad sya,, tapos parang may kumukulo sa tyan nya,, so we went to her pedia to consult, she ask me if i breastfeeding, sabi ko after the fourth day i gave birth..sabi nya it could be because of the breastfeeding daw.. baka daw kung ano-ano kinakain ko,, so we continued using s-26 gold, i also changed my diet.. kaso ganun pa din,, and the worst naging mabaho yun pupu nya, tapos lagi syang nag-iiri tsaka sumisigaw pag nagpupupu,, so we transferred her to another pedia (yung naging pedia ko when i was little, so talagang kilala nya ako and my mom) she changed my baby's milk with enfalac a+ so ngayun okei naman na sya,, she's 1 month, 5 days now and she poops 3 times a day...tingin ko naman di naman yun prob...the only prob i think is she's laging gising and super hyper,, kasi with s-26 lagi naman sya tulog and when she's awake she's quiet naman,,

My son is now 1 1/2, his pedia gave him Nan1 pero we noticed na ang tigas ng pupu niya at palaging constipated. so she recommended enfalac A+ since then ok na pupu niya, hnd ko na pinalitan ng ibang milk ang son ko sinundan ko na lang ang mga stages ng enfa milk yun nga lang madalas pahirapan hanapin. na sisira kc tummy niya pg hnd A+, *** nga ngayon b4 ako bumili ng new packaging nila ng enfargow I made sure na same siya / the A+. one more thing I noticed na hnd sakitin ang mga baby ** sa neighborhood namin na enfa milk ang gatas.

bebeboy

Nov 26, 2008, 11:29 AM

oki nga ang enfa milk. now my baby is taking enfapro A. and hindi sya sakitin...i dunno if its from the milk..pero may factor din siguro un...

downside nga lang ng enfa is medyo pricey..*** 950gram can na worth 765 eh wala pang 1 week ubos na..

pero im happy nga kaze hindi sya nagkakasakit and very healthy sya

sweetwahm

Nov 26, 2008, 04:30 PM

avelinkr, I understand your situation. Mahal talaga ang gatas and when my 3 year old was a baby, he could consume a big can of milk so fast, hindi umaabot ng 1 week like I "estimate".

My personal stand though was bahala na hindi ako makakain, hindi lang makaranas gutom ang anak ko. It sounds exaggerated, I know, hindi pa naman kami nagka situation na kelangan magsacrifice ang tyan namin :) But I know how heavy formula can be on the budget.

Maybe you can cut down on something else? There must be some way you can penny pinch. Your weekly grocery budget, for example... baka pwede yan ma cut down ng konti. Sa formula din ni baby, maybe you can change to a lesser priced brand na angkop sa edad nya. While the higher priced milk mayhave an edge on all those things they advertise about, a lot of it is just marketing hype. You can ask your pedia for recommendations.

MammaMia!

Nov 26, 2008, 05:24 PM

You can ask your pedia for brand recommendation or what my MIL do she would make chikka with my pedia's secretary and ask the secretary if she knew an agent selling this brand of milk who could give you a big discount.

With my first born luckily SIL is working with Mead Johnson she was able to give us at least 30% discount on milk and vitamins however its a first come first serve basis and all in cash.

[FickleMinded]

Nov 27, 2008, 08:38 AM

kung nag so solid naman na sya,pwede na sya sa medyo cheap (price) na milk,actually pare-pareho lang naman yan,bilhan mo muna ng maliit na lata ng Bona (ang gatas ng bayan!) then observed mo kung ok sa tummy nya,then pag wala problem, pwede na iyon.Dito nga di uso yang mga by stage na milk eh, basta pag 1 yr ng baby instantly fresh milk na agad,as in yung nasa gallon na tinitinda sa grocery, cold pa!

MammaMia!

Nov 27, 2008, 09:40 AM

/\ thats right! actually sabi ng pedia ko yung first stage milk up to 1 year pare parehas lang yan. Because of branding kaya syempre kailangan ng stages. Di talaga kailangan na magpalit palit ng milk every stage. Nagkakaiba lang daw yan sa sugar content. Kaya some pedia recommends yung milk not too sweet. Nung humina si baby sa milk because of teething pwede na daw kami mag fresh milk for baby un nga lang medyo hindi type ni baby yung lasa ng fresh milk. :)

Nov 27, 2008, 10:17 AM

Ang akin lang naman, as long as di nagta-t*e ang baby sa milk (or di matigas ang pupu), okay. Try mo Bonamil/Bonakid, Alactamil, Nido1+ or Bear Brand 1+. Okay naman yun. Pag nauubusan dati ng milk ang twins ko Bear Brand binibili ko.

Nung first 6 months ng baby ko, his milk was Enfalac A+ which was recommended ng OB namin. Kaso tumitigas yung pupu ni baby and umiiyak siya dahil masyadong matigas and hindi nya kayang ilabas. Then we switched to different formulas from Isomil ( masyado namang nagtubig *** pupu) to Enfalac Lactose Free to S26. Naging hiyang siya sa S26. From 6 months, we switched to Promil. From 1 year old, Nido Jr. naman. 2 months later, Gain Advance na.

Hi! my son is only 10 months old but i would to like to know if I can give him milk for 1 yr.old babies (eg. nido, lactum, promil, which is much cheaper). Aside from solid food, ang lakas nyang uminom ng milk. he can consume 1 big can for only 4days. Our budget is really tight as of the moment. Any suggestion on more affordable but good milk in the market?

If you're looking for an affordable milk, Bonna is the cheapest milk in the market as far as I know.

Try mo bonamil, ok naman sya kahit mumurahin lang. Yun yung formula milk nung 2nd child ko when she turned 6 months tapos nung nag one year old na sya nagswitch na kame sa lactum.

When I weaned Yuri off breastmilk, he was on Enfapro till he turned 1 year and it was ouchie on the pocket because towards the last 3 months, Yuri was consuming five 8ounce bottles a day. Hubs kept *****ing at how Yuri goes through a P1300++ can of milk each week. :lol:

We tried Lactum when he turned 1 but he got diarrhea and his poop became green so we stopped it. His pedia recommended Nido Jr and hiyang naman siya dun and he likes it. My mom is aghast that we switched to the "cheap" milk and has been *****ing ever since to switch to Enfagrow. I don't see any problem with Nido Jr naman. I don't know why my mom's so adamant against it when laking Nido kaming siblings ko. :lol:

Pero I want to switch him to freshmilk. Inunti-unti ko para di ma-shock system ni Yuri. :)

Hello Everybody....
Selj here...
New member pa ako dito sa PINOY EXCHANGE...

I have a 1 daughter turning 1 year this coming Dec. 29 this year...

Kagaya ninyong lahat concern din ako sa health niya...
At sa gatas na tini take nya.. Shes been drinking Whyth milk since birth.
0-6mos s26,gold
6-upto now promil gold
by this time since turning 1 year na siya and then since ubos na milk nya, i proceed to
progress gold.

Ok naman.

Kaya lang honestly gusto ko tumaba sya ng kunti.
hindi naman sa payat siya....
Healthy na healthy nga sa awa ng DIYOS.
At okey lang din naman ang timbang niya sa edad niya.
She has good Apetite also..
most of the time, after she eat or drink her formula milk, hihingi pa siya sa akin ng milk.
Mix kasi siya.
Breastfeed at yung sinasabi kong milk.
But i want more for her talaga.

I want to shift to another milk.
Kaya lang walang lutein yung mga milk na tinitingnan ko.
Yung milk kasi ng baby ko may lutein...

Ano ba gagawin ko?

PS.I am a cebuana and i currently live in Cebu City...
I want to keep in touch to all of you... And I want to be your friend...

mga two weeks lang nag s26 na lactose Xan ko kse fear ko nga baka masanay sya sa lactose free paglaki nya so i shifted him back to regular s26. so far ok naman sya and gaining wait real ok. parang gusto ko nga hanapan sya ng cheaper milk eh hehehe. Is Bonna, Nestogen, Bonamil any good?

hello

ako rin gusto ko mag shift ng milk sa baby kokasi gusto ko tataba siya ng konti. kaya lang yung iba milk walang lutein ehh. s26 gold rin *** with breastfeeding. but ngayun kaka proceed lang namin ng progress gold. cuz shes turning 1 year this 29.
ok naman sya lakas nga kumain. just like now kakatapos lang niya magsnack ng boiled potato hetot nagdede na naman sa akin.
yung timbang nya ok naman. kaya lang gusto ko tumaba siya konti.

in your case naman if ok yung mga milk na namention mo...
well, as i have observed here, depende sa bata... marami akong na encounter na moms na bona at nestogen at ang taba taba ng baby nila. kakainggit nga... gusto ko nga sana palitan pero wala lang kasing lutein ang mga gatas na yun....

anyway.... sobrang likot naman kasi na baby kong to.
kaya siguro hindi tataba. Isa pa di rin ako mataba.

till next msg.

hi mga mommies,,,

just want to ask if you could share anything...

my daugther ianne's 1st milk is s26 gold. then we switched to enfa a+ kasi nagkukulo kulo yun tiyan nya. kaso after 2weeks lang umayaw na siya sa enfa a+ so we switched back to s26 gold. that was like 2mnths ago.

***** last dec. 23 nagkaLBM siya. after 3days naging watery na so we went to her pedia for check up. her pedia prescribed pedialyte and a powder (i forget the name ) to be mixed in her milk.she change her milk to enfa lactose free...kaso 7days na hinde pa din umaayos ang pupu though hinde masydo watery. plus hinde siya masyado nagdododo. maybe she doesnt like the taste. so my mom suggested use bonna. so now okey na yun pupu niya kaso kumukulo pa din yun tiyan niya.

i want to try NAN naman sana kaso im not sure kung magugustuhan niya baka ganun din. s26 lang talaga ang gusto niya. kaso kumukulo yun tiyan niya.ano gagawin ko???

i switched from s26 to enfa a+ din and then switched back to s26...

I only breastfed my daughter for less than a month. Not enough milk supply. 2-3 oz lang sa isang buong araw at 2 breasts na yun. As per hospital's reco we gave her NAN HW. Eto ang napansin namin when we took her from NICU 1 week after:
1. kumukulo ang tiyan at utot ng utot while I'm feeding her
2. spit up (one time halos sinuka lahat yung dinede)
3. fussy
4. gassy
5. tame (di namin sure baka may nararamdaman)
6. *mahina dumede (tinutulak yung nipple, just opens her mouth pag pinilit namin paubos, kakagatin ang tsupon, grimace,worst susubukan nyang sumuka)
*less than 1 month palang ** when these happened. (bata pa may ugali na :)
*when we tasted it. masama pala talaga ang lasa. may bitterness ang taste. hydrolized kasi kaya daw ganun. kahit akong nanay nya hindi ko ata iinumin yun.
7. ok ang BM but mabaho.ok lang naman sakin kasi sanay nako.

lately, we switched formula as per her pedia's reco. we are currently giving her S26 gold. heto naman ang napansin namin:
1. gusto nya ang lasa. nauubos yung 100ml.
2. parang alert, hyper, iritable na hindi namin maintindihan. ang hirap patulugin. so, we swaddle her.
3. hindi regular ang BM
notorious ata sa constipation ang S26.
4. bubbly
btw, my daughter is petite. she weighed 5.2 lbs when i gave birth to her. 2 months na ** sa 5th.

i would like to try enfalac a+. any feedbacks about this formula? ty

@ metikulosa317

as per my baby's pedia, enfalac daw is maganda kasi madali matunaw sa tsan and nutrition wise, mas maganda daw ang enfa A+..

kaso formula kasi is per hiyang din eh,, kung ano ang hiyang ng baby..

ako naka-apat ng formula pero i still end up using s-26 kasi yun ang gustong lasa ng baby ko. i've tried NAN HW (ayaw nya mapait), ENFA A+ (ayaw nya din lasa and hindi sya makatulog ng maayos), even BONNA (though hiyang nya bonna, ayaw naman ng pedia nya).

ay sis ang available lang kasi is yung nasa box na enfapro A+, sabi kasi nung staff don sa grocery (walter mart)madalang lang daw ang supply sa kanila ng enfapro a+ na nasa lata. tapos bilis pa daw maubos. naisip ko baka mahirapan ako bumili kaya enfapro regular nalang.

yung sa enfapro consumption ni bebiko is 4 -5 days yung 950 grams, kaka six month old lang niya.di naman masyado naaaksaya. hay nakakapulubi talaga hehehe.. buti nalang mas mura na yung enfapro kesa sa enfalac.

pareho pala ng consumption bebe natin..pa-10 mos na sya sa feb09..

^^oo nga eh..*** enfalac 800+ na.. buti mas mababa ng konti *** pro @ 766..

plan nga namin ni hubby magtry ng ibang gatas aside from enfagrow pag nag-1 year old na sya....

Feb 6, 2009, 12:33 PM

after ilang weeks pinalitan ni hubby ng s26 kc maraming ngsasabi n maganda daw yun.. aun ngdiarrhea c baby kaya balik ulit *** ng enfalac A+ which is really good tabachingching n ng baby ko pero syempre mix with breastfeeding pa din!!!

if i wer u girl sa pedia ka magtanong wag po basta basta magpalit...

pareho tayo ng situation. walang lumabas na milk saken after i gave birth kaya formula fed si baby.S26 Gold ang nabili namin that time kase we were told na nakakataba daw un ng baby.though regular naman ang BM nya, napansin namin na kulo ng kulo ang tyan ni baby tapos balisa sya. good thing na lang, magaling umutot ang baby ko :hiya: so i was advised by her pedia na piliting kong magbreastfeed at the same time, pinapalitan niya ng enfalac lactofree ang milk nya in case hindi pa establish ang milk supply ko. naging ok naman sya sa enfalac. then ngayong 3 months na sya, i changed her milk to enfalac a+ kase i heard a lot of good testimonials about the milk. thank god wala naman naging problem and sana tuloy tuloy na kase mahirap magpapalit palit ng milk lalo na ngayon na decrease na ang milk supply ko because i already returned to work.

then nung ako na yung nag-grocery, i noticed sya pala pinakamahal sa mga infant milk!
so nung nag-2mos na sya, i switched to S-26 kse dame nga nagsabi maganda yun. kahit nga mom ko, sabi nya yun ang pinainom nya samen dati. plus mas mura pa ng konte.

hi po! first time mom din po ako, wala din ako milk when i gave birth.. kaya ayun.. similac milk ng baby ko nung bagong panganak pa lang cia.. kaya lang madalas cia mag poopoo, kaya pinalitan ng pedia ng nan 1 hw problem naman with nan, kinakabag cia sa gabi and iyakin sobra. may nakaexperience ba ng ganito????? nu kaya milk pede sa baby ko?????:confused: 1 month pa lang kc cia tom..

i suggest mag stick ka na lang sa similac ganun po talaga mostly un mga babies pagka dede ..poopoo... kasi nag adjust pa lang un digestive system nila. pag nasanay na sya magiging normal na poopoo nya... very much recommended to ng majority ng pedia sa asian hospital... ok dw yun vits & minerals content nya. kahit sa singapore mabenta yun similac to gain hehe...:naughty:

Hi mga mommies,

based from your experience/, what's the best milk for baby after turning 1 year old? My baby is turning 1 this April & i'm planning to change his formula. He currently using Enfapro A. Medyo pricey kaze ang Enfa eh..Suggest yung milk na cheaper & yet owkie kay beybi..Thanks a lot.

Apr 1, 2009, 01:16 PM

When my son turned 1, I switched him to Nido Jr. from Enfapro.
Ok naman siya, my son is healthy, magana kumain and consumes five 8oz bottles a day of milk.

bebeboy

wow thanks sa reply.. gusto ko tlagang ma-try either Nido Jr or Lactum 1-3..hahayyy sana maging hiyang si baby kahit hindi enfa...

Apr 2, 2009, 01:13 AM

@winky752
oo nga.. if you compare similac to nan and mylac mas mataas nga vitamins and minerals nia kaya lang si baby more than 4 times magpoopoo sa isang araw, kumukulo pa tiyan nia.. sabe ng pedia baka di tumaba si baby.

Mommies, do/did you have any issues with Gain?

Wolf was drinking gain plus for almost 2 months now, then last week nagdiarrhea siya with no fever naman. so I switched him to enfagrow lactose free.

one of my goddaughter experienced the exact same thing with Gain.

I still have half a can that I'm thinking of submitting to BFAD for review.

I've used Gain plus advance for my Gabriel, like naman nya but her poopoo, matigas so I switched to Lactum, ***** Enfagrow sya. Madali sya magsawa sa Milk eh.

cerezablossom

May 8, 2009, 03:07 PM

My 6-month old baby girl is drinking Gain for almost 3 weeks now, so far wala naman akong nakikita na problema.

Second - Enfalac A+, Enfapro / Lactum, Neslac with Honey, Fresh Milk
Third - Enfalac A+, Enfapro A

ano po ba ang okay na milk for a 20 month old baby?nan3 ang iniinom nya ngayon pero gusto ko sana palita kase mahal (malakas sya mag milk).

I asked my pedia, peidasure yung suggestion niya but kahit anong milk daw for 1 year up pwede dahil sa ganitong age dapat daw mas marami na siyang kinakain.

any suggestions?

zacharyandmama

Jul 2, 2009, 07:18 PM

My son who'll be turning 3 in a couple of months started taking pediasure around the latter part of the previous year upon his pedia's recommendation kasi nagkasakit siya and for some reason, hindi na makasundo ng system niya yung Alfare which he had been taking since he was 6 months old. It really took a toll on his weight.

Not too long after he started drinking pediasure, nabawi niya agad yung weight that he lost and then some. It was very effective, too much in fact, kasi soon my son started to tip over the ideal weight for his age so his pedia recommended we change brands na.

It was very difficult at first kasi he already took a liking to pediasure's taste. We tried Nido and Lactum pero hindi niya talaga nagustuhan. Then we tried Promil Kid, which he immediately accepted naman. It's been his main milk since February. His weight is just right now for his age and he is very healthy naman, which is the most important thing.

zacharyandmama

Jul 2, 2009, 07:43 PM

If there are any moms out there whose babies are still drinking Alfare, you might be interested in buying my remaining stock. I still have four unopened cans that I'm selling for only P950 each. Expiry date for all four is February 2010.

It's very expensive but since it easily runs out sometimes in the local drugstores, we used to buy several cans at a time. Unfortunately, when my son got sick last year, we couldn't let him finish our remaining stock because for some reason, my son's system couldn't digest alfare anymore.

For those interested, you can send me a pm and I'll reply as soon as I can.

Hello sa mga mommies! ;)
I had my first baby last feb 2009, she is turning 6 months by next week and I need to change her milk (from 0-6 mos. to 6-12 mos.). She is using NAN right now, do i have the prerogative to choose any brand of milk for her? or do i have to consult her pedia?

one more thing po pala...what is your recommended brand of milk? is Gain the best for follow-up milk?

Need your advice mommies. Please? THank you po.

actually, my parents from US send us enfamil both ready to drink and powder formula for our newborn baby then. so from birth to about 2months yun ang gamit ni yesha. then I ask her pedia what's the counterpart, yun nga mga enfa products ng meadjohnson. so ngayon that my baby is 7 months enfapro A na sya.

Done a quick browsing about what you said and yeah, you're right. Then that's the reason why our 2-yr old daughter is gaining weight too fast. I wonder why our pedia didn't stop us from using it even though our daughter has a normal weight before. Now, she's overweight and still consuming 7-900g cans a month. Sigh! Anyway, thanks to you.

Sep 24, 2009, 07:16 PM

I posted this in our ygroups and hope it helps some of you

=======================

I understand formula is hiyangan din with kids. And am not really sure but I am assumming that those who tout their products as containing extras (taurine, ARA, DHA and everything else) are more expensive.

I just want to remind parents of the facts:
1) these additives are taken from algae and fungi
2) these additives are only added in minute amounts to formula
3) these milk companies cannot vouch for these additives' bioavailability for human babies
4) there are no existing studies yet that prove that these additives in formula really benefit children

A child 1 year of age and onwards can be given ordinary/regular cow's milk already... this is according to the American Pediatrics Association.

But if the child's eating habits for solids is not yet that established, parents may feel, or the child's pediatrician may feel that formula is needed, or would be helpful. That is your decision to make. And such is our culture that we are indoctrinated that we NEED milk and that babies have to be PLUMP. I am only hoping that you won't base
your decisions on the excellent marketing strategies of advertisers and milk companies that are often misleading. Studies have consistently shown that formula milk compositions do not really greatly vary (and aren't even distinctly different from regular milk), it's just that milk companies have this market segmentation sa milk products (which is why Nido is more expensive than Bear
Brand, both from Nestle, when basically it's the same milk and they cannot make naman a sub-standard milk in terms of nutritional content... but they can add more sugar, salt, fats etc in others).

Am not saying don't buy the expensive ones... if you can afford it and it's hiyang with your child. Go! I am saying don't buy into the myth that more expensive formula is necessarily better :)

Think about it...

Yung mga formula milk puro soy-based yan. Isusumpa nyo pag nalaman nyo kung ano sangkap nyan.

Kaso dito sa pinas ang hirap makahanap ng unpasteurized milk. Pero ito ang best ipa-inom sa baby.(Breastmilk ang pinaka-best) Pwede rin whey milk pero dapat mineralized. Hindi yun mga pang body building whey milk.

Sa mga mommy na umiinom ng gatas eh wag kayo bibili ng milk na made in america. Majority ng baka sa america corn-fed at tinuturukan ng rgbh hormones.

Yung rgbh hormones eh banned sa japan, new zealand, australia at european union.

Kaya wag kayo papabola sa america. Hindi basta sinabi ng kano eh tama.

Research nyo kung ano ok ipa-inom sa anak nyo. Wag basta maniniwala sa commercial dahil yung mga artista eh tumatanggap lang ng pera. :D

I think Gain is better if you're going to compare the nutritional contents at the back of the can. NAN HW1 din baby ko but 2wks ago nagtry na akong magcompare ng NAN HW2 sa Gain, etc nung nasa grocery ako. Ang ginawa ko pa nga nagbilang ako ng nutrients found on each milk for 6months onwards kasi nga magsi6 mths na ang baby ko. I asked her pedia during my baby's monthly checkup today, she suggested Enfapro A+ kasi complete nutrients na daw and me DHA. I asked her kasi na best formula milk na madaming nutrients.

Give your child fresh fruit juice instead kaya? Make him drink more as well (water)... and offer food in small portions 6-8 times a day instead of pushing meals his way...

You may want to read this: keeping children on a healthy diet (http://www.betterparenting.com/child-nutrition-keeping-kids-on-a-healthy-diet/)... offer more fiber, more vegetables, more fruits... mangoes are cheap and many this time of the year, feed him this (effective sa constipation, haha), corn kernels, squash...

Hi ellapotjing. pacensiya na ha, di ako mommy, daddy ako but i just want to help on your query. halos wala masyadong difference sa s26 gold and *** pink. *** DHA something lang *** naiba na meron sa Gold. I know this kasi formula to ng anak ko from 1 month to 1 year (ninecommend ng pedia ituloy namin kasi hiyang siya dito na). mas mahal ng 300 or 400 pesos yata ang gold.pero both are okay. di naging sakitin baby namin and ang bilis ng development. at 2 months, nag rerespond na sa amin.=) when my daughter turned 1, we tried nido jr. ok din and sobrang nakaluwag kami dahil mas mura na..hahaha! hope this can help you.:)

hi mommy kim! my pedia told me to use enfagrow lactofree but my baby didnt want it so i switched to Nido yesterday.. hopefully, mawala na un constipation nya.. thanks!

Nido is good but Enfagrow is better, just try it again and if your baby refuses again, then it is better to give him the former instead of starving him.*okay*

Give fresh fruit juices and lots of snacks. Try giving your child yogurt or those yogurt or lactobacili drinks like (nestle yogurt drink, yakult, chamyto bear brand probiotic) as it does help with digestion.

Now is the time to buy lots of fresh fruits especially dalandan and mangos (super cheap sa market). Since your child is over 1, you can sweeten it with honey.

I myself use Nido Jr for my boys and they're both really healthy. (but it's really more to save on milk because they both consume anywhere between 6-8, 8 oz bottles of milk a day aside from their main meals, juices and snacks). :lol:

And try giving some daily multivitamins. Sabi sa kin, Clusivol for kids is an excellent pampagana. So I give it to them and it looks like it's working. :lol:

My son is eight months now, he's mixed feed till five mos., based on our experience ok and S26 Gold, yun milk nya till six mos and now we're on Promil Gold. Maganda ang bowel movement nya with this milk and very active baby namin.

But i still believe, formula milk is still hiyangan. It doesn't mean mas mahal mas maganda. Try to observe kung ok si baby sa milk, then go for it.

Hi mga sis! For those giving Isomil to their babies because of cow's milk allergy - how long did you have to wait til the rashes were completely gone?

I have 9-week old boy & girl twins and they both developed rashes on their faces a few days after we started mix feeding. They started with Frisolac for their formula milk. On their last check-up, our pedia advised us to switch to Isomil. It's been almost a week, but they still have the rashes on their faces and necks. Nakakaawa eh. So I want to know when they will improve. Or if the soy milk is effective for them. If not, we would have to resort to goat's milk, which I heard is more expensive.

Any feedback from the group?

TIA!
