Every milk product introduced to the market has its unique advantages. Comparing Optimum Gold and Frisolac Gold for newborns helps parents choose the most suitable milk for their babies.
When is it appropriate to introduce external milk to a child?
Typically, newborns only need to exclusively breastfeed for the first 6 months without adding solid food or external milk. Breast milk, rich in minerals and antibodies, supports healthy development and disease resistance. However, as the child grows, their nutritional needs increase. Babies in the 4-6 months stage require significantly more breast milk than those in the 1-3 months stage.
Therefore, it's crucial for mothers to maintain a well-rounded diet to ensure sufficient nutrient supplementation and an ample milk supply. In cases where there's not enough breast milk for the baby, consideration should be given to external milk or solid food for the newborn.
Especially after the 6th month, the nutritional requirements of the child increase. At that point, breast milk alone is no longer sufficient to meet the child's nutritional needs. This stage is when you need to supplement the baby's diet with external milk and solid food.
In reality, there are several brands in the market producing infant formula for babies under 6 months old. For mothers who don't have enough breast milk, the infant formulas introduced below are the top choices at this time.
Comparing Optimum Gold and Frisolac Gold in terms of brand
Friso is a milk brand under the Dutch corporation FrieslandCampina, which entered Vietnam in 1995 and has since become one of the leading brands in the dairy industry in Vietnam. Frisolac Gold is a product line for infants aged 0-6 months.
Vinamilk is also a renowned baby milk brand in Vietnam with nearly 50 years of history. Currently, Vinamilk has maintained its position as the number one brand in the Vietnamese market and aims to become one of the Top 30 largest dairy companies in the world.
Comparing Optimum Gold and Frisolac Gold in terms of functionality
In general, Friso provides a diverse range of products in the market for mothers to choose from, including prenatal milk for mothers, infant formula for babies, stage-specific development milk, and tailored formulas for fussy eaters or preterm infants. Frisolac Gold is a relatively good solution for addressing the weight gain concerns of babies. However, it is not a formula that promotes rapid or excessive weight gain. When compared to the popular Nan Nga formula for newborns, the weight gain potential of Frisolac Gold is considered equivalent. Frisolac Gold receives high praise for promoting height and intelligence development in children.
As Japanese milk formulas, such as Meiji, do not heavily focus on weight, children who consume Meiji formula typically have good height and maintain a standard weight without excessive chubbiness or obesity. On the other hand, Vinamilk Optimum Gold formula aids in effective weight gain. Optimum Gold is beneficial for baby digestion due to additional Whey protein for easy absorption, soluble fiber FOS, and Probiotic beneficial bacteria balancing the gut microbiota, enhancing the beneficial bacterial group, and suppressing harmful bacteria in the child's body.
