Infant Milk Powder Formula

There's so many types of infant milk powder (whether to supplement breast milk or to replace), so what types should we choose? Nevertheless, however much homework we did to try to select the "best" milk powder, it is still a matter of trial of error as the infant may react against it. Hence, it is advised to always buy a small tin to try it out first, before proceeding to bulk discounted buys..

They also can differ significantly in prices. There's a saying that the 1st child always drink the more expensive types, while 2nd/3rd/etc usually drive the less expensive ones. Due to budget lah...

* NAN HA
- recommended by pediatrician that it is closer to breast milk (babysparkz @ Oct2009)
- Nan HA (HypoAllergenic) better if infant is sensitive/ slightly lactose intolerant, vs Nan Pro (Probiotic)
- Nan HA taste a little bitter, compared to other formulas. Hence recommended to try this out first, as infants may not like the taste after consuming other formulas

* Enfalac
- Has "anti-reflux" milk if infant tends to vomit
