Is it beneficial to use Meiji milk for newborns?
With its origin from Japan, Meiji milk has long been one of the top choices for Vietnamese breastfeeding mothers. Meiji milk for newborns, also known as Meiji Milk Type 0, is familiar to breastfeeding mothers in the form of a tin can weighing around 800g. If Meiji powdered milk is good, then Meiji milk for newborns is similarly good and more convenient.
Having a refreshing taste almost like mother's milk, Meiji milk for newborns is a cool formula that makes it easy for babies to drink, absorb well, and prevent constipation in infants. By providing a full range of nutrients and a balanced ratio, Meiji milk gives the baby a comprehensive developmental solution for both physical and intellectual aspects. Natural Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and nucleotides, found abundantly in mother's milk, help enhance beneficial bacteria in the gut for good digestion, a strong immune system, and maximize the absorption of nutrients in milk.
Many Vietnamese breastfeeding mothers have trusted and used Meiji milk sticks from the beginning, giving positive reviews and experiencing the overall developmental benefits that this Japanese milk provides for their babies.
Why choose Meiji milk sticks for newborns?
Using Meiji milk sticks for newborns is not only good but also very convenient when:
- Newborns are waiting for their mother's milk to arrive, or the mother has had a cesarean section and used antibiotics for 2 days.
- The baby is in a special care process or during and after the treatment of illness.
- Mother and baby are going out to visit grandparents, and it's inconvenient to carry large cans of milk.
- Mother is taking too much time to measure the exact amount of milk needed to prepare, and the baby is crying and demanding to eat immediately.
- Storing unused powdered milk for a longer period after the mother's maternity leave can still be used for the baby, unlike large cans of powdered milk that must be used up within a month if opened; otherwise, it will be a waste of money.
How many types of Meiji milk sticks for newborns are there?
Currently, there are three types of Meiji milk sticks for newborns on the market, including:
- Meiji Milk Type 0 16 sticks small box
- Meiji Milk Type 0 24 sticks medium box
- And Meiji Milk Type 0 48 sticks large box
Each stick contains 5 tablets with a total weight of 27g/stick, and each tablet is mixed with 40ml of water at 70°C to ensure complete dissolution in water. It is advisable not to make it too concentrated; if a mother's newborn has just tried, the mother should only use half with 30ml of water for initial acquaintance.
If categorized based on the origin criterion, there are 2 types of Meiji milk sticks for newborns:
- Domestic Meiji milk sticks
- And authentic imported Meiji milk sticks.
Both of these types, even if they are domestic products, are imported to Vietnam and distributed by different companies, with few being parallel imports. If the place where the mother buys claims to be parallel imported domestic goods, the mother should inquire about the invoice, the most recent date of parallel import to have authentic evidence; otherwise, it is just imported goods disguised as parallel imports to increase the price without cause.
Compared to the type of Meiji milk sticks designed specifically for Japanese children, the officially imported Meiji milk sticks have proportions of biotin, choline, manganese, and iodine that are more suitable for the standards of Vietnamese children's physical condition and are more cost-effective. Therefore, mothers should carefully consider which type is more suitable for their baby when making a purchase.
