Dear other member,


I would like to know if any of you using this snow brand infant formula from Japan, is there any good?

Thank you .
 
My son takes Snow brand from Australia. It's OK. But no added DHA, choline etc. But no added sugar (except milk sugar) even for 6 - 12 mths old formula.

Snow brand Japan is too expensive for me.

Hope the above helps.
 
There should be no more Snow brand formula made in Japan. The name has been changed to BEAN STALK. Snow brand you see in HK is made in Australia as emilyc wrote. Ingredients are almost no difference among Japan made formula (Bean Stalk has DHA added, unlike Australian made Snow brand).

Japan made formulas are so expensive at Japanese supermarkets at around $400 each, though you can find them cheaper at Bonjour cosmetic shops at around $200.

One thing from my son's pediatricians....Babies on Japan made formulas tend to be big in size, because they taste better than others! Yes, my son is also big.


NOA
 
My 15.5 mth girl has been taking beanstalk (previously named snow brand) since weaning at her 6mth. I think it's less sweet than other brands. With added DHA. And I didn't choose Meiji coz it has lard (Pork Oil).

My girl is a small girl at her 25-50 percentile only. So it really depends on the baby. As long as they are growing healthy ... with good pooh-pooh ...

You may buy from Bonjour as NOA said. It's only $188 for 0-9mth and $168 for 9mth-3yr. There is no need to switch formula till 3. Unless you want to start fresh milk.
 
hello,

Just wondering is it okay to buy it at bonjour? I mean the price is such a huge difference....
 
u can also order from www.re-on.com.hk it is much cheaper than the supermarkets. i actually went there yesterday to pick up some other japanese meals for my son. they will only do free delivery when the order is over $1k. anyway, if your LO is used to drinking that brand eg beanstalk, you can always order one carton full which works out to be over $1k.
 
What about Meiji Brand?? I heard that boy is better to take Meiji as it has high quality and level of DHA. Beanstalk is more suitable for girls as it helps babies to keep the white skin. Any idea whether these saying is correct??
 
I guess over time DHA is added to the Australian Snowbrand already, as I've found this label on the can.
 
I don't think a certain brand can make you have whiter skin/bigger babies. I hear that Meiji, Morinaga and Wakodo are pretty similar in its quality. You should just try out one can for your baby to see if it is okay for her.
 
I wonder if anyone knows any website that I could order these Japanese infant formula for overseas? My daughter is 4 month and is proven to have acid reflux, she's now having the thickened formula, but only helps her out a little bit. I searched on Re-On, and I believe it only delivers within HK, any suggestions? Thanks alot
 
some say that Meiji is not good as it contains lard, is lard really bad to our babes. Cos my 11-mths is currently taking Meiji, should I change to another brand instead. Are these Japenese formulas really higher in vitamins and minerals (as said in TVB health series lately) or also higher in DHA or ARA? I tried to compare the nutrient value of different Jap brands with Enfamil, S26, but couldnt, cos I couldnt read Jap. Has anybody done that before?

:thanks

Nikimon -- If you go to the re-on website (www.re-on.com.hk), and click into the brand of milk powder you are interested to locate the ingredients, they have it in Chinese. Not in English though.
