Hi Hi...


juz to share...

I give my kids Dumex Dugro and Enfakid. I mixed this 2 formula milk. Enfakid is gd. No constipation problem for them since they started to take this formula. So I juz let them take this 2 formula at same time. So far so gd...

Hiya, u mean u mixed the 2 formulae together? :idea: If that can be done, then i should try to mix Pediasure and Friso for DS. That would save me $$$.

Yes. I do it juz as what I did when I wanted to change an old brand to a new brand of formulae milk. 1 scoop + 3 scoops / 2 scoops + 2 scoops / 3 scoops + 1 scoop.

Muz monitor our kids for the first few cups of milks being taken... see got any -ve effect. If it was ok, then I think that shdn't be a problem to mix it.

So far so gd.

Hi,


My girl has been drinking Friso since birth until now. She is drinking Friso 2 now. I am thinking to change to Pediasure. Still thinking. Heard from others that if a child is fussy eater and underweight, then can try Pediasure but my girl is not a fussy eater. So not sure want to change or not?

Just curious for Mummies using Friso…


Just my observation here, but it seems that the difference between Friso 2 and 3 is quite noticeable. The first time I opened the tin of Friso 3, a very strong smell of artificial vanilla wafted from the tin.

I went back to Gain IQ after that (she was originally on Similac and Friso for the first 8 months)

Did you guys have the same experience? I realized that quite a few milk brands have the vanilla ‘flavoring’ in their milk, especially for those 1 year and above.

Actually, I wanted my DD2 to take Friso because my friend's children have been taking that and I see they're developing well, and also it's cheaper. Unfortunately, my girl only likes chocolate flavoured milk so had to take Pediasure as that's the only brand I cld find that has chocolate flavour for children below 3. Now that she's 4, I've tried other chocolate flavoured brands of milk but she didn't like them. She's also quite a fussy eater so it seems that taking Pediasure ensures that her weight falls within the normal range.

Actually, my DD1 was underweight when she was little and took Pediasure at the recommendation of her paediatrician. I find that it didn't really help her gain weight and until now, she’s still as thin as ever. :roll:

Sunflower, have you tried Dumex Dugro chocolate?

My two kiddies love that. I do too. But scared later
overgrown!

Yes, I've tried Dumex Dugro chocolate, but my DD2 didn't like it either. I think she's too used to the Pediasure taste. :roll:

Probably...
So, cannot downgrade.
