I have heard that Japanese baby milk powder is very good for Asian babies? But there are so many brands and I do not understand Japanese, will appreciate it if you can share your experiences. Thank you!

I have been highly recommended though have not tried Morinaga brand, available at Citysuper and Great. Apparently less sweet than most and is used by the Japanese royal family!

My 7 month old has been on Morinaga Brand for 3 months, so far no problem. He was on Wyeth S26 before and was putting on quite a lot of weight - I think S26 is quite fattening, the milk bottles seem more greasy then the Morinaga. And yes Morinaga is less sweet too.
I buy mine by the case from here, much cheaper than the Japanese's stores & supermarkets.

Not sure if you can read Chinese but 1 can costs $185 and if you buy by the case of 8 cans it's $175 each.
They do free home deliveries.
