I have the same thought as Sandwich when I read your post. It's totally unacceptable to stop feeding babies at 5pm+. As much as we (and the teachers) try to fix a schedule for babies, but babies are still babies, they won't follow schedule all the time one. You should definitely voice it out. Talk to the principle, it's no point to talk to the teachers. If they are not willing to change, they you (and your baby) will be better off to try another centre. And also that they don't allow you to stay is also, to me, unacceptable. I (and other parents) spent up to 1 hour there playing with the babies and chatting with the teachers once in a while when we were there early to pick up my boy. I would be rather concern that they don't allow you to stay, are they hiding something from the parents or what?

Cornflour is as bad as talc. Cos both would clog the pores.

I can certainly help you with Enfa. Yes, you are right, Stage 1 (Enfalac) is meant for 0 to 12 months, and Stage 2 (Enfapro) is meant for 6 to 12 months. Once babies turn 6 months, it's actually up to the parents to decide whether to change to Stage 2 or continue with Stage 1. The two have slight different nutritional values (you may want to do a comparison on both). I have this info scanned and uploaded on my blog, but maybe difficult to view (and I bought FM from Malaysia, which is again slightly different from the Singapore version one):

Some parents chose to continue with Stage 1 because babies are fussy drinker so they want to avoid changes. Enfalac and Enfapro taste differently (yes, I tried before

). Most parents chose to change to Stage 2 as it's with the optima nutrition for babies >6 months.
What's most important is when you are changing a milk powder, whether from Stage 1 to Stage 2, or for your case, from S26 to Enfa, you should do a gradual change, as in mixing the FM slowly. If you buy a tin of Enfapro, it comes with a guideline on how to do the gradual introduction of new FM. Or if you are still in doubt, call they hotline.
Hope this helps
