For this reason, we use Mamex.

Does formula milk cause allergies such as itchy eyes, blinking, skin rashes (off and on)? Do I need to put my 2yo gal on a hypoallergenic formula and what do you recommend? She was on NAN HA once as an infant but stopped as she rejected the taste.


She is currently on Mamil Gold Step 3 (we changed many brands - similac, nan ha, s26, pediasure - coz she doesn’t seem to like any). Could an allergy to milk cause her to refuse milk?

She has good bowel movements though but only drinks 120ml in the morning, 120ml after the nap (if at home) and another 180ml at night before sleep. It takes her ages to finish the milk. She also refuses to drink milk in school.

Her weight seems acceptable as she eats well for her main meals and I give her supplements. I am just worried about the allergies since she is already proven allergic to a couple of other things.

I breastfeed exclusively till now, my son is already 27months. Definitely formula milk is not the option. Work on their diet instead. Most importantly give them "Natural" supplement that contain DHA/Omega 3 fatty acid. Good luck!

[quote=\"BigDevil\"]40-month old DS has always been on Friso. He drinks 3x 210ml daily and now weighs 17.3kg. But I don't think the milk is responsible for his weight since he's a big boy. He's the tallest in his class...his ht and wt are both in the 90th percentile, and his head circumference is in the 97th percentile!! :faint:


Opps! Is my ds over sized? Just went for 3yo check up last month, weighing 18kg ( I thought he feels heavier than that) and height 101cm.

He's all along at 97th percentile. Partly born big @ 3.8 kg. Drinks BM till around 16 month. His milk intake 120ml -150ml per feed since 1 month old, I guess my milk has high level of fats & nutrients that make him grow so big 🙂

We started feed him solid as early as 4 month old. He's now not a big eater, very active and we sometimes make him walk long distance with us.

He's now on Bellamy's organic milk, only from milk bottle as he won't drink from cup.

His weight comes from muscles or flabs?
Some kids are more muscular and that adds weight, so no worries.

My boy is skinny bean pole type but recently starting to pile on some weight. But rather irritating because he pile on some weight (grow sideways), then suddenly shoot up (grow taller) and looks skinny again. ARGH!

But he recently started taking interest in COOKING and EATING.
Eats NON-STOP. As long as there's food in front of him, he will keep putting food into his mouth.

& my boy is still on bottle too!
My mum and maid kept saying that he drinks 330ml from bottle but if use cup, he'll only take less than 100ml each time. (this is true cos I tried)
So we'll just stick to bottle until 5yo when he might be better able to hold a bigger cup of milk. :D[/quote]I think he's got heavy & big bones like me. Quite a bit of muscles coz his flesh bounced when we hit his thigh & buttocks. Most of his weight is located at lower body, and he can run fast & walk long distance w/o complaining.

So ur son is also 3? DS is addicted to bottle but not milk, I'm sure. At times he needs 2x200ml to put him to dreamland. Come 5yo if he quit bottle, I worry he will quit milk totally.

Only thing I worry now is that he snacks alot: chips, sweets and crackers.... Bad habbits picked up fr us adults!

Hi BigDevil, talking abt head circumference n I thot of my girl..since she was born with BW of only 1.4 kg, her weight n length were always below 50 percentile while the head circumference is 90 percentile...there was once the paed was wondering whether any other health issues...thank God, no issue since it started to stabilize..


My girl was on pediasure since 1 yr old till now but not gaining much weight all along since she drinks only like 120 ml. U must intake a certain amt to see the weight gain...my 5 yo girl is now like 15 .5 kg n 105 cm..at least now bigger, she eats better n appetite has improved.... 😄

The doctor who took the measurement also commented that if DS' head keep growing bigger, then we might need to have more in-depth investigation in case there's abnormal growth. Luckily she saw that I have a big head too so she's not too worried about it. BTW...7yo DD's head is smaller than her brother's! :lol:

How many times of 120ml does your girl take? Perhaps you can give her smaller amount (so she gets hungry sooner), but a few more times a day so that the total intake is more than before? But I guess as long as the child is healthy, we shouldn't be too concerned about their size.

Hi, when she was younger, she took 3 times daily...from 4 yo onwards, she was taking like 160 ml in the am before she goes to school n 120 ml before bed time....ever since baby, she was a small eater n cannot eat much...but we did try to give her smaller amount..she dun seems to enjoy mealtime but now at 5 yo, she is getting much better with food n appetite....like u mentioned, as long as she is healthy n eating well, size is not an issue.... 😄

Jedamum,
My dd2 is on Nan pro 3. She's almost 2. NTUC n cold storage is selling Nan pro 3 at S$28.05, and Nan HA at S$36.00. I usually buy my supply from a Chinese sinseh shop at S$26.00. agree that Nan HA is expensive compared to other brands. Nan pro 3 is in the average range.

Dd2 has always been on the small side. Her birth weight/length was in the normal range - 3.28kg/49.5cm. But for the first year, she's was always in the 3 percentile. Only in recent months that she moved into the 25th percentile. As long as sbe is healthy n happy, I'm not worried. Dd2 is not keen on food and is lazy to chew her food. She's happy eating the same old porridge day in day out.
i try to buy those type of buy 2 get a box of free satchets or those box of 3 packs type. if not the consumption is really scary.
my ds2 on nanPro3 is 97th percentile. at one point, his PD told us to watch his weight gain..... 😐
my P2 ds1 who has switched to Dumex after 3yo and does not take as much milk, his percentile is <25.

DD is on BM.
Thinking of starting her on FM.
Don't know which brand is better.
She height and weight are in 75th percentile.
Head circumference in 90th percentile, like her papa :love:

I'm thinking that's why kiddos love cartoons.
Most of them are big-headed with tiny bodies.
Lets them relate easier.

Hello mrswongtuition


Thanks, I will check out that thread.

What's \"FM\"? I did try feeding her with Meiji full cream milk... is it ok for 2yrs to drink that?
FM means Formula Milk. You can go to this thread that I started. Mrswongtuition gave lots of advice there. My son is also very skinny. He was on Similac, Gain IQ, Grow and sometimes Pediasure which he doesn't really like. I just changed him to Enfaschool, hopefully I will see some improvement. I give him Meiji strawberry milk too.

It is ok for >1yr old to take normal cow's milk.
