Hi mommies!

Can y'all recommend what milk powder is the best and affordable for young children?

I'm considering NAN optipro and Dumex Dugro. Those mommies that had tried these brands, which one is better?

I've tried Dumex before, was alright not as sweet as some other brands.
You can try to buy milk powder from the HDB medical halls, they're usually made in Malaysia, and cheaper..

This only directed at mommies, but I'm not a mommy...

I don't think either of these are "better". Each child is different. What I've experienced with myself and my friends is that you just choose one and then hope that your child doesn't get a reaction... Sometimes the child is allergic to cow's milk so you will need a different brand. And sometimes they get colic ... it all depends on the child.

I've used Nan mainly but really they're all much of a muchness.

Yup, some brands are very sweet and some are very foamy and can cause colic easily. I remembered my favourite was Mamil brand..
