Growing Up!

My daughter is turning 3 in a month's time and it is also time for her to move up -- in her growing-up milk, that is!

 

When my daughter's yaya told me that it's time to buy a new can of milk, I got excited and thought of moving my daughter up to Stage 4 of her milk, aptly named 'Pre-school milk' since she'll be going to school as a Nursery (or Casa) come June!

I've never been happier with Gain (except the last few months when I can't find a 1.8kg can, they must be changing the packaging!) When we went back to the Philippines two years ago and it was time to move her to 'regular milk' after being in hypoallergenic (HA) milk for one year, I only had one criterion in mind: that the milk brand and  manufacturer didn't have any negatives (read: kapalpakan!). At that time, it was the height of 1) melamine scanda;l 2) a leading manufacturer's huge recall due to contamination; and 3) another leading manufacturer's huge recall of their milks too due to rusty cans!

At that time, only Gain and Abbott seemed to be doing the right thing. And so there goes my decision to give Gain to my daughter until now (she drinks UHT milk in single-serve tetra pack when out of the house).

Product name: Gain School Advance Pre-school milk
