Which brand of milk powder is your child taking?

Hi,

My girl has been drinking Friso since birth until now. She is drinking Friso 2 now. I am thinking to change to Pediasure. Still thinking. Heard from others that if a child is fussy eater and underweight, then can try Pediasure but my girl is not a fussy eater. So not sure want to change or not?

Actually, I wanted my DD2 to take Friso because my friend's children have been taking that and I see they're developing well, and also it's cheaper. Unfortunately, my girl only likes chocolate flavoured milk so had to take Pediasure as that's the only brand I cld find that has chocolate flavour for children below 3. Now that she's 4, I've tried other chocolate flavoured brands of milk but she didn't like them. She's also quite a fussy eater so it seems that taking Pediasure ensures that her weight falls within the normal range.

Actually, my DD1 was underweight when she was little and took Pediasure at the recommendation of her paediatrician. I find that it didn't really help her gain weight and until now, she’s still as thin as ever. :roll:

Sunflower, have you tried Dumex Dugro chocolate?

My two kiddies love that. I do too. But scared later
overgrown!

Yes, I've tried Dumex Dugro chocolate, but my DD2 didn't like it either. I think she's too used to the Pediasure taste. :roll:

Probably...
So, cannot downgrade.

Hi Sunflower, I know what you mean, my DD2 has been tiny since birth and even after 2 years of Pediasure still so tiny. Don't know where did all the 'good stuff' go to??

I decided that we will bite the bullet and stick to it... at the back of our minds, maybe if not for pediasure, could even be even thinner if that is possible?!!

How about fresh milk for toddlers? Tastes much nicer than formula. My 2.5 year-old boy been taking it as he doesn't like the formula milk taste.


But he's underweight so not sure which one is better. But it's such a struggle to get him to drink formula...tried so many brands . I have to mix the milk powder into his cereal, as he won't drink it. Only drinks fresh milk. :roll:

Any advice?

Gain IQ and Pediasure.

Hiya pea, fresh milk can be considered as whole food. If you are still worried about getting enough extra boost of nutrients, give fortified cereal and also kiddy supplements like Nutroplex.

Thanks MLR!

My sis said that in US and Canada they give mostly fresh milk after 1 year old. The formula milk not so popular there, very hard to find in supermarkets. Do you know if that's true? Since your hubby from there, right? :lol:
