My baby is currently on Pediasure and we just realized that if she doesn’t have milk extenders (like breastmilk and cereals), she can finish a 900-gram can of Pediasure between 4-5 days. That is P890 is 4-5 days or a whopping average of P5340 every month! And that is on milk alone. So now we are on the lookout for another brand of 1+ formula milk that has similar ingredients as Pediasure so that we will not have to test on allergy. She used to be on NAN3, but somehow we realized that with NAN3, she produces mucus after every bottlefeeding session.
But I realized it is very hard to compare nutritional content of milk brands by reading the labels alone. And you cannot copy everything, as there are so many ingredients. When I look up online, only S26 Progress Gold has uploaded their nutritional content. So it is my desire to bring that service to parents who want to know what the other milk brands contain.
Some of the information listed here are taken from various sources: company website, MIMS Philippines, and some on the back labels of the milk brands that I copied one by one. So please pardon the typographical erros! lol
