However, Japanese milk powder also has shortcomings. Due to the different geographical environment and eating habits of different countries, the nutritional composition standards of infant formula milk powder are also different. Japan is an island country, and its food is mainly seafood and seaweed. Its daily food is already rich in zinc and iodine, so the standards of zinc and iodine content in Japanese milk powder will be different from those in China. If you eat Japanese version of milk powder, China's baby may be short of iodine and zinc, so parents should pay attention.
The production control of infant milk powder in Japan is very strict, so basically everything that can be listed is good. But each milk powder has its own characteristics, and each child's physique and favorite taste are different. So what suits the baby is the best. Parents are advised to choose according to the actual situation.
Japanese milk powder brands Japanese baby milk powder brands are not as many as those in China, and there are only five or six brands common in pharmacies. Basically, they are the following brands: Meiji, Morinaga, Heguangtang, Jiang Qi ICREO, Yin Xue and Beanstalk. Generally speaking, ordinary food supermarkets can't buy milk powder, and most of them are sold in pharmacies or shopping malls with baby areas. Here is a brief introduction to major brands for everyone.
1, Meiji: Meiji is the most popular Japanese product in Chinese mainland. There are generally pharmacies in Japan, and the amount of goods on the counter is usually the largest. In addition, the company claims that it has been working hard to study the composition of milk powder for more than 80 years to make it as close as possible to the composition of breast milk.
2. Morinaga: Morinaga is also one of the old brands in Japan. In addition to producing ordinary milk powder, we also develop and produce some special milk powder that can treat eczema and allergies. Although its sales in pharmaceuticals are second only to Meiji, its research and development in special milk powder is far ahead.
3. Heguangtang: Heguangtang started from the pharmaceutical industry and medicine. It was not until around 19 10 that the production and research of infant milk powder began, which has a history of nearly one hundred years. In short, a baby food brand with a medical background seems to give people a sense of trust invisibly.
4. Jiang Qi's ICREO:ICREO's price: Iceo is the highest among these brands, and it is said that the quality is also the best. It also has special milk powder for low-weight babies (less than 2500g at birth) and a desensitized milk powder. ICREO's quality assurance is quite good, and it is said that there is no quality problem.
5. Snow print: Snow print is low in price, but cute in packaging and good in taste. Perhaps because of the low-fat milk food poisoning incident in history, the popularity is low, but now it is gradually picking up. In fact, Yin Xue is also a big brand and can still be trusted.
The price of milk powder in Japan Judging from the price in Japan, the price gap between milk powder brands in Japan is not very big. In Japan, the starting price is generally 100 yen (about 7 yuan RMB). Usually a can of milk powder of about 850g, there is no difference of 500 yen (about 35 yuan RMB) between different brands. If there is a promotion, it may be more expensive, but it will be cheaper.
As far as the current market is concerned, the prices of various brands of milk powder in Japan are different. Of course, the price of milk powder used by babies of all ages is different, but the difference is not big, and most of them fluctuate between 200-300 RMB. It is suggested that if the baby has adapted to a certain brand of milk powder, parents can consider buying it many times to get a discount. But remember to buy three no products, parents should not only measure the price, but also ensure the quality when buying milk powder. If you have enough money, you can buy Meiji and Morinaga. If the funds are not so sufficient, you can also choose a lower-priced milk powder brand that needs snow printing.
How to choose Japanese milk powder In fact, there are tips for choosing Japanese milk powder. The following are some tips for purchasing, hoping to help you buy milk powder suitable for your baby.
1, first understand the major brands of Japanese milk powder, understand the main points of their nutritional components and taste characteristics, and then buy according to actual needs.
Meiji: It tastes light and close to breast milk. It not only strengthened carotene, but also added oligosaccharides, proper amount of taurine and DHA.
Morinaga: It is a kind of milk powder with high DHA fatty acid content. Its taste is sweet, helpful for baby eczema, and high in calcium, which helps baby defecate. Carotene was also strengthened, and DHA, oligosaccharides and taurine were added. But it doesn't contain sugar.
Heguangtang: Not only is the content and proportion of nutrients closer to breast milk, but it also contains DHA, nucleotides, vitamins, protein and fructooligosaccharides. More importantly, the sweetness is low and does not affect the baby's taste.
Snow print: it tastes fragrant, containing only coconut oil and no palm oil. The whole series is made in Japan. It is specially prepared according to the needs of Japanese mothers at present, and lactoferrin is specially added (lactoferrin is a particularly rich nutrient in breast milk colostrum, which helps to increase immunity and improve the iron absorption of infants).
2, look for trademarks and barcodes, beware of being cheated. After all, there are certain risks in overseas purchasing, and it is very likely that unscrupulous merchants mix fake goods to deceive consumption. Therefore, for the sake of the baby's health, parents should pay attention to distinguish its authenticity when purchasing.
3. Pay attention to the production date, shelf life date, nutritional ingredients, origin, etc. when purchasing. Please don't buy it without a detailed product description.
4, remember, it is not that the high price is the best, only the baby is the most suitable. Parents are advised to consider the baby's needs when purchasing and analyze which milk powder is most suitable for the baby.
