Enfalac and Enfapro has the highest DHA contents compared to other brands. But for infant formula for 1 year and above, Gain IQ has a higher DHA content compared to Enfagrow.

sperzz, sunflower oil better than palm oil.
but then most brands of FM contain palm oil.
i read that most other brands use primarily palm oil which often cause constipation and supposedly affects calcium and oil absorption.

dazed, ya babies will put on weight when going on solids.
that is why some PD advise babies to go solids earlier like 4.5mths when they are not putting on weight.

Dazed: that's what my PD says about Jon la. Anyway, she's always teasing Jon about his weight. @ 3 months he was 7kg and she said she's really quite concerned about his thunder thighs. @ 4 months he's 7.8kg she says I should not start him on solids yet else his weight will explode. Oh well.

gelato: hahaha..i did homework out of curiosity. Incase i wanna quit breastfeeding, i know what FM to get for him.
my brayden is still drinking BM.
only for outings he drink enfalac FM. i bought enfalac coz' it comes in small tin, 400g. other brands come in big tins which i find it hard to deplete within 1 month.
I am not sure abt FM for 1 yo and above. I have not touch on that yet.

Hey got a question! Do most of yr babies stay awake during the day time most of e time? Seems like my gal can't hold her eyes open for more then a couple of hours at a time, hence feels like she still sleep for most part of the day......hence doesnt play much etc....normal bo?
sperzz/ willting: thanks for ur replies! I only started him on rice cereal yesterday.. today tried spoon fed him instead. So far so good
pd suggested slowly intro him so only 1 tsp for 2 feeds daily first for 3 days b4 increasing intake..
i havent started him on others yet.. brown rice cereal to be done 2 weeks later and can alternate bet plain and brown rice.. then will go onto other HT jars bah but now got give him some mashed apple to mummum.. hehe u gals started on the rest of food liao at once? or just one type first/?

gelato: u flatter me. i believe all mummies here are striving their best for their babies too.
i stopped latching on Brayden coz' he always doze off after 10-15mins and get hungry every 1.5hr.
I think he doze off coz' of oxytocin overload during first 5-10mins of latch on.
We decided to bottle feed him instead, he drinks every 3-4 hrly now.
sometimes i latch him on weekends when he is fussy after feeding or still having hiccups even after drinking water.

i will be starting when he's 5.5 months. cos by 6 mths, he can't get much nutrients from the BM. so better start slightly early to tie thru.
blessedmum:
u don put it in yr BM/FM when u formula feed? i thot we have to start with that first before spoon feed solids (puree).

chere, i am not very sure what other contents to look out for.
but i saw nan nestle has probotics added. probotics is for better digestion.
I bought happy bellies rice cereal, it contains probotics and DHA. have not try them out yet.

Cheekygal. if im not wrong most FMs now have prebiotics added already. Both Enfa and Mamil contain that.
willting, cos my bb took his 1st jab late. That period was CNY so i took him to PD after that. Thus my schedule is 2mth, 4mth, 6mths. So his last jab is due once he turns 6mth old. Your boy growing well ah, >8kg. Mine's about 7.3kg when he was 5mth old, mil carry till hand ache / body ache and i cannot toss him around as easily as before.
oops, then i must have seen wrongly. I thought enfa is 3 scoops to 180ml of water and mamil 8 sccops to 240ml.

I've let my baby tried Mamil Gold before. Compared to Enfalac, Mamil Gold taste nicer as it tasted sweeter than Enfalac. Enfalac is very thick, the calories are higher than Mamil Gold but the taste is quite yucky to me. 
I'm thinking it will be very good if Enfalac has probotics which Mamil, Frisco and Nan have cos probiotics is very good for digestive system which strenghten immunity. So I think when my baby turns 6 months old, I will try to give her some yoghurt. Hee. I'm a kiasu mummy...

swan: the 6in1 jabs is for 1.5mth, 3mth and 5mth...for 5in1 is 3mth, 4mth, 5mth...when is your 2nd jab?
for cereal, have to try a few times, maybe you can try the bb bottle food first, i find that easily to feed compare to cereal...
afcai: my bb never stayed in SCN or NICU after delivery...i answered wrongly to your question which is my bb not a preterm bb, he already hit 36 weeks so considered full term...

for my bb, he is schedule to his 6 in 1 jab at 3,4,5 and 18mth.
for his 1mth, he supposed to take the Hep B jab(2nd dose) but was delayed since he just taken his BCJ and first dose of Hep B jab when he is 1mth. so 2nd dose of hep B was postphone to 2nd mth. at the end of this mth, he will be taking the 2nd dose of 6 in 1.
re:kept bottles after sterlizing.
we use the boiling method to sterlise. so after sterlising the bottles, it will be kept in a pot.
<font color="119911">chere</font>,
oh, preterm. so how long yr bb stay in hospital?
<font color="119911">willting</font>,
oic. my bb stayed in NICU for a day and 30 days in SCN. so he only discharged when he is full mth.
