SIMILAC milk powder. JB vs SG

[Jojor]

Breastfeeding is the best. Proof, my eldest was born premature and was on Similac Pre-mie, 1 & 2. Second was premature and youngest son full term, both breastfed.

Comparing their swimming ability:

 

Oldest Son 50-Free time when he was 11: 36 sec

Second Son 50-Free when he was 10: 32 sec

Youngest Son 50-Free when he was 8: 37.5 sec

 

He was diagnosed with ADHD /learning disability earlier and had to enroll in special education when he was 8.

But he had since got out of that and seems to be doing well in his study.

Verdict has yet to be out for the other two younger siblings.

 

BTW, Similac smell and taste bad.

The stage 1 is the one that taste bad. That's probably the one u tasted.

There's no smell.

The stage 2 onwards all taste pretty similar, bit sweet.

 

BFing is always best. my 2nd one, my wife has enough breast milk to feed him.

[Donut]

I give my boy Nan HA when really young, now is NAN Pro 3.

 

Nan is good coz no sugar inside, taste rather bitter. Heard that Nan is closest to BF milk.

 

Just for everyone's information:

 

In SG, the Nan formula sold in tins, are from Swiss. There is another kind of refill packs that are sold in cartons. These are made in Pinoy. But its slightly cheaper

 

i compared the ingredients of both, looks exactly the same.

After drinking SIMILAC powder from JB, the kid will say "几好喝一下."

After drinking SIMILAC powder from SG, the kid will say "good to 喝 leh."

Eh..

 

Cannot base on this la. So many other variables to take into account (not just milk) and every child is different genetically even though parents are the same....

 

Even twins can have big difference in ability even if they drink the same milk....

I'm ok with difference sources of milk.

But quality of milk is highly dependent on the feed and nutrition that they get.

I'd rather the source of milk come from a western country.

 

This is how the melamine scandal first originated from. Poor quality milk from undernourished cows in China. Cows who can't produce enough quality milk due to their surroundings.

wow... similac really very creative when they want to up their price. this time round no up price no tweak name to proclaim more nutrients added. Now stage 4 1800g tin no more in production. change to 1600g tin. u guessed it... price did not go down proportionally.

 

1800g used to be about $69. means 1600g tin proportionally should be $61+.... but no.... 1600g tin is retailing $66.40....

 

means they creatively raised about $5....

[Keithchue]

This is what I have been trying to drill into my wife's head. How the hell did generations of Malaysians survived and many are also successful??? Mahatier's son and grandson drink milk powder from where?

bro, if you an afford the difference, why make your misses angry....happy wife. happy life..

[L23]

Sometime u gonna choose between being happy or being right...

Whenever you head on with your wife, i believe the former always have a better ending...

I just noticed as well. Stage 3 new one also 1.6kg.

... This is at a time when wholesale milk prices is at an alltime low.

 

Lucky i bought a lot during promo earlier this year.

[Aquanark]

Dear all,

 

Just found out the current similac stage 3 milk powder sold in SG is now made in SG as well. It used to be from Ireland - same as those sold in JB.

 

Does anyone know if the current similac stage 3 milk powder selling in JB is still from Ireland? Or from other places?

[Boringchap]

Read the Straits Times article about milk powder woes today and honestly was quite shocked to find out that prices of milk powder had gone up by almost 120% over 10 years.  I do remember buying Similac for my kids more than a decade ago and already I found it a bit steep.  Scary, these prices.

 

But I did a quick scan of US and UK prices, and found that Similac in the UK is really cheap!  One-third the price of Singapore for a comparable tin, I think.  Video below.

[Showster]

Just bought 2 tins for $139.50 at NTUC. 1 tin is $79.50 I think.

 

And that is for the cheapest age group from Similac.

 

I will work harder.

[Kangadrool]

Luckily I chose Friso. It was one of the few brands with less shocking price increase.

Kim sang is cheaper when not having any special promo...

 

This was the price on Tuesday for stage 3.

Kim sang is just 78 per tin. 70 for stage 4.

Currently Abbott has twenty dollar voucher for 220 dollar purchase from ntuc. Which I don't think is worth it even with 5 percent cash back on cc.
