Hi

Any parents know that which brand of milk is good for toddlers & young kids??

I have a toddlers at 18 mths & 1 boy at 4yrs old. Both of them are taking goat milk now.

I tot of changing their milk formula cos both of them seem v skinny. Both are slighty under weight for their age.

Pls advise. :idea:

Hi evelynseet, my boy is on goat milk and he is not fat either. He is average weight around 11.5kg for 22 months. And DH is always complaining why he is so skinny and blames me for restricting his diet - he has some allergy and cos i am against feeding carbonated drinks and candies etc to DS. Anyway my sis told me kids on goat milk tend to be slimmer. For me as long as DS is healthy i am happy. you may consider to include fresh milk for your kids ?

My boy is 6 yrs old. he has been on soy formula for the past 4 yrs. I have switched him to milk formula last yr. He is still so skinny. So doesn't mean milk formula can put on weight. I have given him Fresh milk in the morning and bedtime Enfakid. so far ok
My girl is coming 22 months. She is on Nan Pro 3. So far ok. Weight average around 11kg. I think all formula are the same. It all depends on their reaction. Since is your first time trying, why don't you try the cheapest first and see how they react.

My son is taking Pediasure, the taste is quite similar to Gain IQ. In fact my son was taking Gain IQ before he switched to Pediasure and has no problems in the switch.

[JHJC]

[evelynseet]

Cos my kids very small size leh. So i tot of changing to cow milk.

Hi JHJC


My son is a fussy eater and he is also considered underweight. And the pedi recommended that I switch to Pediasure.

I am in Sec 4 and I still drink formula milk everyday

[JHJC]

My sons constipate all the time when they were on Similac follow on…and the nurse (customer service) suggested to switch over when they were abt the right age for Gain… tried to feed fruits, vegs… etc…still not ideal. 3 days ago, i bot a can of Pedisure . still the same…hmm… dun know if i need to try Friso ?..

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:

Yes, even in Europe, the formula milk is not popular too.

Anyway, does anyone know what causes the prices of formula milk to go up & down?

Just checked the price of Gain 1Q (1 year & up) and it's suddenly gone up by $2 for the 1.8kg can :!: Just cant believe it!

Not sure, but maybe its because of increase in the prices of raw materials that the tin and/or lid etc that the milk comes in? The fresh milk etc prices have increased in line with inflation...

DD#1, 2 were breastfed till 2.5 yo and 1 yo respectively. My DD#3 who's past 3 is partially breastfed - think it's the bonding time that she craves... :oops:

Otherwise, the younger ones drink Promise Gold and fresh milk, if they are so inclined. #1 refuses formula and has been on fresh milk since she weaned
