Different Baby Milk formula Comparison India

Deciding infant/baby milk powder in India can be a big task as most of them comes in 400g packet and none of the brand provides free sample to decide. We can divide these milk powder into two categories with or without DHA+ARA. Cost also plays a major role as most brand with DHA/ARA comes in ₹500+ price range while without DHA+ARA are priced below ₹400 mostly.

We are providing you list of Indian baby milk powder products with major deciding constituents :

Aptamil 1 Baby Formula milk Powder	100% lactose formula whey casein ratio 60:40 DHA 95mg ARA 95mg alpha linolenic acid 480mg folic acid 113mcg Check PRICE
NAN PRO 1 Baby Formula milk Powder:	whey casein ratio 60:30 DHA 66.8mg ARA 66.8mg alpha linolenic acid 300mg folic acid 100ug nucleotides 20mg Check PRICE
Enfamil A+ Stage 1 infant milk formula powder:	whey casein ratio 60:30 DHA 90mg ARA 181mg alpha linolenic acid 375mg folic acid 90ug nucleotides 10.9mg Check PRICE
Similac IQ stage 1 Baby Formula Milk Powder:	whey casein ratio 60:30 DHA 56.3mg ARA 56.3mg alpha linolenic acid 580mg folic acid 90ug nucleotides 55mg Check PRICE
Dexolac Stage 1 Infant milk powder:	Best Value for money product with omega 3 omega 6 omega 9 nucletides. Check PRICE
Lactogen Stage 1 Baby Milk Powder:	Another Value for money product with omega 3 omega 6 Check PRICE
Similac Stage 1 Infant formula milk powder:	One more Value for money product with omega 3 omega 6 Check PRICE

Also we have Similac Advance & Dexolac premium which command premium price even with missing DHA+ ARA. It’s more of a marketing ploy to confuse customers with confusing product name. Lastly we have Farex which is cashing on it’s old brand name with missing DHA+ARA. Special mention for our own desi Amul milk spray powder with 20% added sugar which I think should be refrained from naming it as a baby powder.

• If you want best for Baby and money is not a problem then opt for Aptamil.
• If tight on budget then Dexolac normal (don’t get confused by premium)
• If you want something in between then Nan 1 Pro is best bet.

Also it is recommended to change Formula powder if the baby is having problem but do consult a pediatrician before proceeding.

Major manufacturer of milk formula producer in India.

• NESTLE (Lactogen & Nan Pro & Nan Pro Excella)
• NUTRICIA (Farex & Dexolac & Dexolac premium & Aptamil)
• ABBOT (Similac & Similac Advance & Similac IQ+)
• AMUL (Baby milkspray) is more of a stage 2 infant formula as it contains 18% sugar.
• MEAD JOHNSON (Enfamil A+)

Out of these basic range is Lactogen, Dexolac , Similac. These lacks direct DHA, ARA and contains decent ratio of minerals and vitamins required. Using this doesn’t means DHA & ARA are completely lacking.

Last is Elite infant formula category Nan Pro Excella , Aptamil , Similac IQ+, Enfamil A+. All of these contains ARA n DHA. with Aptamil leading out of all.
