Formula Milk Review 3 - Nan Ha and Nan Pro

So Similac TC gave my baby greenish poo, S-26 Gold made my baby gassy. Desperate, I asked my girlfriend what she gave her baby, she told me Nestle's Nan.

I zoomed to the supermarket to buy but unfortunately there was Nan Ha and Pro. After considering, Ha stands for Hypoallergenic and seems to be better for sensitive tummies so I got that. Plus, it is more expensive than Nan Pro which has got to mean it is better right?

Wrong.

Baby's greenish poo came back, together with the ultra-smelly-can-kill farts.

Girlfriend told me Ha is the wrong one to buy, that I should buy Pro. I was upset at having wasted another $50 and was very skeptical about buying Nan Pro..i thought of just trying Enfa immediately but I thought "what the hell" and took my friend's advice.

Praise God she was right. Nan Pro brought back the yellow poo and made me a happy mummy once again.

Soon after, a girlfriend also told me she bought Nan Ha and her baby has green poo. I told her to buy Nan Pro and a week later when I saw her again she said her baby's poo has also gone back to being yellow.

Not sure why such differences exist between milk powders but yeah so far baby's drinking Nan Pro and he's a happy baby! :)

Formula Milk Review 2 - S-26 Gold

As my previous entry mentioned, Similac TC gave my baby dark green poop. The hubs asked me to let baby try S26 Gold as it has the highest DHA content among all formula milk powders.

It did change my baby's poop from dark green to a yellowish mustard colour (normal poop). However, my baby seemed to be extremely gassy while he was drinking that.

He would cry (more like scream/wail) for quite a fair bit every day, and as he cried we either heard or felt (by placing our hand on his diaper) him passed gas numerous times. After that his crying would subside. His crying was quite bad to the extent that tears would flow down his eyes and he was practically inconsolable. All the massages we learnt online to help him pass gas didn't work. Those few weeks (we tried 3 tins i think) he mostly cried himself to sleep. Like he would cry until he was tired and finally drift off to sleep with tears glistening on his eyelashes. It was quite painful to watch.

So I told the hubs that this can't continue and we need to change formula again.
