Ease of Formula Preparation is Important
Lets face it, taking care of kids is a 24/7 job day and night. Therefore, we want to introduce formulas which are easy to make and take minimal time. Either stick-type or cube-type, this formula will easily dissolve in hot water, providing you more time to build a relationship with your baby. If you're into canned formulas, we've also got you covered with user-friendly lids and scoops for easy application.
Sweetness of the Formula
Did you know that the sugar level of the breast milk is nearly 10 degrees? A formula that isn't sweet enough may make your baby not satisfied. Brands like "Meiji's Smile" and "Wakodo's Hai Hai" are mostly known for their high sugar levels, while the others are also not far behind from 10 to 11 degrees.
Good Foaming is Also Important
Foam can be a real deal-breaker when it comes to baby formula. Too much of it can make feeding time a struggle. That's why it's crucial to opt for formulas that keep foaming to a minimum.
