Trusted Milk Brands in the Philippines for Babies

All mothers want only the best for their babies; from clothes they wear, toys they play with to the milk brand that’s safe and nutritious for them. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months and continued breastfeeding for as long as possible; unfortunately, breastfeeding may not be possible for all women. For many, the decision to breastfeed or formula feed is based on their comfort level, lifestyle, and specific medical situations.

For mothers who are unable to breastfeed or who decide not to, infant formula is a healthy alternative. Growing up milks are formulated to meet nutrition needs of healthy young children older than 1 year and should not be fed to infants. Here’s a list of nourishing and safe infant formula brands that you can consider for your baby’s daily nutritious supplement. Most of these milk brands can be found in most leading supermarkets, drugstores, and groceries nationwide.

Hi momshies… I also have 11 months old baby, dati s26 gold din siya ok naman ang stool nya kaso hindi siya masyadong chubby but the weight is just normal for his age, then habang lumalaki na si baby for us yung milk is a bit pricey na din. Since i quit my job to become a full time mom, so I asked my baby pedia she recommend bonamil so am still using it until now, pansin ko lang hindi pa din nagiging chubby si baby and im still using it until now na 11 months na siya planning to switch na since malapit na siyang mag 1 year old ld. Yung mga nababasa ko regarding sa pag nag switch ng milk eh its either nag constipate or watery ang poop i think its normal kasi mag a adjust pa ang tummy ni baby. Kailangan muna observed huwag basta basta mag palit. And one thing pq pala. Pag nag introduced na ng food normal talaga si baby mag constipate or watery just watch out sa mga pinapakan dahil may impact talaga lahat kay baby

anu po maganda na formula para sa baby q na kakafive mos palang.. i started to s26 pero kinakabagan sya and i switched to BONA basa ang popo nya i tried to use nestogen same situation po basa pa din popo nya and may mga times po na 5x sya popo within wholeday

I’ve been using Enfamil A+ One since 2 weeks after I gave birth and my baby is doing great with it. There was never a time that he constipated and his weight gain is by far very stable. The formula just somehow makes the stomach gassy but it is no big deal since my baby can tolerate it by farting a lot without being fussy. A while ago I was thinking to try another formula just for the sake of experimenting another nice brand but after reading some comments here, I’ve decided not to, bcause my baby might be having difficulty too in switching to another taste of formula.

For me is hiyang ni baby ko s-26 since recommended sya ng pedia nya… Sinubukan ko syang iswitch sa s-26 gold noong 6 months sya. Kaso nagpupu sya ng watery. Kaya ayun, s-26 sya until now. Hiyang n hiyang nya… Okay ang s26. medyo expensive nga lng pero ok lng un kc maganda ung formula nya

good day po..ask ko lang po kung ano ba magandang gatas kasi ung baby namin s26 ang milk kaso naging constipated po..ano po ba magangandang ipalit sa s26. ung tataba din po sya at hindi sya mahihirapan sa pag poop nya

Hi ask ko lang kung anu best milk para sa baby ko since mag 1 year old na sya???

Ano po ok na formula milk for 1 year old. Enfa po dati then nung ng 1 yearl na promil na.. Kaya lang nadi masyado naggagain ng weight.

Really helpfull

During my child’s 11th month, I decided to mixed feed and gradually wean her from breastmilk to formula. I kept myself busy in searching for the best and closest formula to breastmilk. Understanding the nutritional values and reading testimonials, I arrived in buying Hipp Organic. It’s really a bit pricey but I impulsively bought 1 canister of 400g at PHP 700+. However, my baby didn’t like the taste and smell. She came to a point wherein she preferred to sleep without milk. So here I am again, desparately looking for other milk brands. Luckily, after reading and comparing formulas, I found Promil Organic 1-3 for my 1yr old and surprisingly she liked it as if it’s my milk! From the smell to taste, and the poop… no significant change if using a breastmilk! It’s also cheaper than other brands with (almost) the same nutritional value like Enfamil, Promil Gold, and the like.

meron po ba nabibilhan ng mura na Enfagrow A+ 3? yung baby ko sinubukan namin palitan ang milk pero hindi iniinom. Enfa na lang uli. salamat

Hello. Any suggestions po kung anong milk ang budget friendly and okay for baby na 1 year old? Planning to quit breastfeeding na kasi. Thanks in advance.

Whats the best milk for gaining weight… Gusto ko kasi maging chubby si bby kahit onti pa

Hello poh meron po bang Novalac sa philippines?thank you..

EnfamiL A+ One since I started feeding my baby a formula milk. It’s the closest formula milk to breastmilk. May highest DHA for brain development. There’s an ingredient here which softens the stool kaya Hindi sya hirap magpoop. Twice a day pa, day and night. She’s healthy and gaining weight continuously according to her age. No problem at all. Kaso pricey sya talaga , gusto ko sana magchange formula kasi nga pricey sya sa lahat compared to other formula milk but I don’t want to risk my baby’s health. Hiyang niya un eh. 😊

I changed my baby’s formula milk from NAN optipro to Lactum. So far mas hiyang siya sa Lactum naging normal yung pupu niya at hindi naging sakitin. Ok naman din yung NAN kaso pabago bago ang pupu ng baby ko at minsan 4 days di pa napupu. At pag napupu naman super tigas ng pupu at sobrang baho. I think hiyangan lang tlaga.. But for me Lactum is the best.
