Infant Formula

[cldy_1981]

^sis how old na is your baby and how long have you been doing mix/supplement feeding? Chaka how do you do it exactly? Tipo bang night time lang yung formula?

[msAsiapacific]

Ang dami na natry ng baby ko na infant milk buti di naman sya sinasama.. majority pa din kasi is breast milk... once a day lang sya nagformula mas nadadagdagan lang if wala ako sa bahay or pag nasa labas kami ni baby.
6days old to 2weeks - Parents Choice (sample frm US)
2weeks to 1month - Similac Soy Isomil (sample frm US)
1month to 1.5month - Similac Advance (sample frm US)
1.5month to 3months - S26 Gold
3months until now - Similac Plus Advance
plan na namin magstick sa Similac until 6months sya then Gain... mas gusto nya pati lasa ng Similac compared sa S26 Gold... nagcoconstipate din sya sa S26 Gold...

I changed my baby's formula from s26 gold to NAN HA. After 2 weeks namin nakita yung reaction niya sa milk, nacoconstipate siya and lumalabas yung allergies niya. But we're mix feeding, am expressing my milk, from 30% BM 70% formula, nainterchange na siya, so happy na rin ako. Usually I give formula at night, para mas busog sa gabi. kasi when she drinks BM, in an hour or 1.5 hr, gutom na agad siya.

my baby is 3 weeks pa lang sis.. i give her formula sa morning tapos sa gabi naman expressed bm na. sa ngayon sis masasabi ko na 60% formula and 40% expressed bm ang naibibigay ko.. pero napapraning lang talaga ako kasi feeling ko pakonti na ng pakonti yung milk ko eh.. im eating lots of veggies na nga and masasabaw na ulam tapos im also taking supplements na prescribed ng doctor pero parang walang bisa..

by the way, regarding s-26 gold ha, normal lang ba sa infant ang mag poop ng once a day lang? pero her poop naman is marami talaga..

[cldy_1981]

^sabi ng ibang GT sis dito sa breastfeeding thread that they highly discourage daw yung supplement/mix feeding kasi it affects or lowers daw yung milk supply. If gusto mo try sis, try mo mag pump or exclusive na bf baka mag increase milk supply mo?

Pero at the end of the day naman if di talaga kaya na mag bf i dont think you should stress yourself out too much. I mean best if BF pero kung hindi i dont think that makes you or me less of a loving mother to her/their child.

Sis bachoi all the milk you liated above reco ng pedia or trial mo?
Hope you dont mind if i ask bakit formula agad baby mo by 1 week? Nagatataning lang kasi i feel guilty having to mix feed, yung comment ng iba around me mskes me feel like a bad mom, eh hirap na hirap maglatch son ko kaya frustrated kami pareho pag feeding time which resultsvto him not eating/drinking nalang

enfalac a+ yung unang milk na natikman ni baby kasi hindi pa ko nakapagbreast feed sa kanya. 1 week din kasing naiwan sa hospital si baby. yan yung unang nirecommend ng pedia nya. kaya naging dependent siya sa formula kasi mahina yung milk production ko. one month lang ako nakapagbreast feed sa kanya. as in once a day lang yun kasi wala pang 1 oz yung nilalabas kong milk. yung s26 gold try lang namin yun ni hubby kasi maganda daw kaso nahirapan magpupu si baby nun kasi matigas then balik kami uli sa enfalac a+ kaso nagkaron naman siya ng rashes sa mukha kaya sabi ng pedia nya na magNan HW na kami. Yun ang pinagamit namin kay baby till one year old then nagdecide kami na ilipat na siya sa Gain. One week din siya nagtae then ok na.

hi sisses, pa join ako. I am currently giving my baby S26 Gold. She is now 3 weeks old and ang bilis nya tumaba. Double chin n nga siya. Napansin ko din n parang constipated siya. She only poop twice a day pero sobrang dami and sticky. Now, I'm planning to change her milk. But I am confused on what to give her. I am also giving her BM pero hindi enough yung BM ko for her.

question - how much is Enfalac A+?

At 3 weeks, parang hindi n enough yung 2 Oz milk na binibigay ko sa knya every 2 hrs. Accdg. sa info. dun sa lata ng S26, 2weeks to 1 month 120 ml to be given every 4 hrs. Pero parang ayaw ko gawing 120 ml feeling ko masyadong marami...madalas p naman magspit at magvomit si baby ng milk. Mga ilang Oz ba dapat sisses for 3 weeks to 1 month old baby?

[sexytabachung]

^ sis, magkasing age lang babies natin. same formula rin binibigay natin but mine is HA as advised by her pedia. My daughter is already taking 4 oz every 2-3 hrs. Mix feeding rin ako but as i mentioned, hindi enough breastmilk ko kasi super lakas talaga niya dumede. Ang bilis rin tumaba ng baby ko, double chin na rin siya and yung pata niya as pang crispy pata na talaga. Same problem rin, feeling ko constipated siya sa s-26 gold ha kasi once a day lang siya mag poo poo and sticky pa. Right now, i am increasing her water intake pero hirap painumin ng water ni baby eh, niluluwa niya.. kaya naman im planning to switch her to another formula.. parang gusto ko rin ng enfalac a+ or nan ha pero natatakot lang rin ako baka hindi maging maganda effect sa kanya.

[puglover]

Around 1700 biggest can ng enfalac a+ . Which is better gain or enfalac? Parang ok din gain, want to try pero pag 6 mos na siguro si baby

^My nephew was a Gain baby pero he got constipated a lot. Mejo madame din ako nabasang feedback na ganon sa Gain.

sissy, last Sunday bumili kami ng Enfalac A+. Tnry namin kay baby, so far hiyang naman siya. She poop twice a day p din pero mas soft and hindi na sticky. We gave her 90 ml every 3 hrs.

sis simplyshao at my baby's 2 week checkup the pedia advised us to give her 3 oz every 3 hours. At her 1 month checkup pedia told us to start giving her 4 oz every 4 hours. I didn't immediately give 4 oz though I started with 3.5 for a few days to ease her into the larger amount.

[LLLA]

my baby is 5 days old.. pedia gave him S26-gold.. wala pa kasi akong  milk nung nanganak ako nung monday.. he takes it 1oz palang every 2-3 hours...

thanks sis for the advise.

hi! milk formula  ng baby ko before is enfalac A+, enfapro then enfagrow pero nung nag-constipate na siya we switched to gain plus advance. maganda naman both, mabigat baby ko at siksik and di siya mataba like other babies na hirap gumalaw sa katabaan.
about a week ago nag-diarrhea siya so our pedia prescribed muna ng lactose free formula, enfagrow lactose free. diinede naman ng baby ko kahit matabang siya compared sa super tamis na gain

mga mommies, currently I am giving my 6month old baby bonamil pag wala ako sa bahay, mix feeding kasi ako magmula nun bumalik ako sa work last december...

nun paglabas ko sa hospital, walang masyado masuso si baby from me kaya my mom bought S26 un smallest box muna, kasi kami magkakapatid, S-26 dati ang milk namin kaya un ang binili ng mom ko...

ok naman cya ke baby, so pag may lakad kami ni hubby, mag express muna ako ng breastmilk, tapos pag naubos nya agad, S26 na un iinumin nya...ok naman cya and his first pedia said ok daw un S26 nga kasi maganda un formulation at contents nya...

however, nun bumalik na ako sa work, sa gabi na lang ako nakakapagpabreastfeed, parang naconstipate nga sya sa S26 so sabi ng pedia nya switch to a different one, sabi Enfalac na lang daw..kaso when I went to Mercury drug, walang enfalac nun time na un, puro enfapro enfagrow ganun..so bumili ako ng bonna, I had noticed na pareho sila ng S26 ng content, same maker, same packaging format, magkaiba nga lang sa kulay at since mas mura sya un ang binili ko...ok naman sa kanya yun bonna, pero nun mag 5 months na cya naconstipate na cya ulit kaya nagtry ako ng iba pang milk...

I tried nestogen kasi recommended ng tita ko dahil un ang milk ng mga apo nya...tapos binalik ko din sa bonna.  Sa Bonna kasi, tumangkad agad cya at parang siksik naman cya kaya sabi ng pedia nya tuloy ko na daw itong bonna kasi it seems to work for him...

kaya nun nag 6months na cya bonamil daw ang isunod dahil un nga ang step 2 ng bonna...
balak ko itry un gain sa kanya pag one year old na cya

sa first baby ko s26 din from 0-6 then promil 6-12 noong nag 1 na siya nag shift kami sa bonakid kasi i noticed nga na halos konti lang ang difference sa promil kid same din ng lasa mas nagustuhan pa nga ng son ko ang lasa ng bonakid never naman ako nag ka problem sa formula na to yun nga lang overweight siya pero ok naman di naman ganun ka overweight & in fairness super likot kasi ganun daw talaga ang mga wyeth baby & now sa second pregnancy ko nagiisip ko to try the enfa series since marami din good feedback sa formula na to.. 

[kuliglig^^]

For my baby, we're using Enfalac A+ and breastmilk (kasi I went back to work na). Pedia told us to use s26, pero no problem naman raw if we use Enfalac A+. Hiyang naman sa kanya. 

[LLLA]

sa 1st child ko - ENFALAC A+
Baby # 2 - S26 Gold + BF

[sylph_pyxie]

with my first kid, i was BF until i went back to work and had to mixed fee with enfa. he was really siksik and very healthy. with my youngest, s-26 namann nirecomment ni pedia but i noticed that he's not as siksik as his kuya was. so im thinking of transferring him to enfa. i'll try a small box first.
