baby formula

[mushi]

hi, after the recent nightmare that occured with babies in China i canlt help think about them everytime i am mixing formula for my son. i currently use NAN1, however i have been told that Enfamil is a 'healthier' choice....any views/experiences? should i make a switch?

I am using NAN 1 too and saw that they are pulling Nestle from the market (Park n Shop and Wellcome) have you noticed your child reacting to the formula or does he seem normal. My daughter seem constipated from it. I am really concerned about this. Please advice.

Hi Megan,

I think it is pretty common for babies to get constipated from formula--especially when they first start drinking it. The solutions I've heard are to give the baby more water--however, my son was unwilling to drink water up until recently--so we added more water to his formula. Also we mix pureed prunes into his cereal and that has helped tremendously.

I hope that this problem gets better for you.

well teh article said they r pulling out some other brand of Nestle milk poweder the one made in china.....i checked my NAN 1 ...it says made in germany.....so i hope i am safe.....i also wentt o P&S today and the NAN 1 and Nestle rice cereal were still being sold so i guess all is ok.
yes they do get constipated and like MLBW mentioned add more water
