SMA Baby food

[redballs 0]

Hi Guys, can anyone tell me where i can buy SMA baby milk in pattaya, a regular of mine has a six month old niece and when i visit pattaya i always take 4 cans of SMA or send some with my mates whenever possible, the family are so poor they haven't got a pot to piss in. I feel sorry for the kid as whenever there is no SMA the poor little fucker gets fed on low cost stuff and loses weight. ive looked into the cost of DHL ing some over but they want £75 to send 4 cans (I don't feel that sorry for the kid). after googling i am led to believe that Big C in Bangkok sell it but i have no way of confirming this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did SMA exist when you were a baby?

 

I think the baby will be just fine without SMA. Whatever that is

 

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful

hi there.

you will not get SMA here, well i've not seen it and i have looked.

there are other brands some made by the same company , wyeht i think make sma ?

there is lots of choice though here and they are good milks.

best i can see is enfalac a++ at around 600 baht for a big tin

or there are other brands that go down as low as 230 baht for a large tin,

i've checked the vitamins etd in all these and they are as good as sma. the biggest problem is many thai's do not read the desructions on the tin and jsut guess at how much powder/water to mix and then baby loses weight.

also sma do yellow cap and white cap for hugrier babies. i've not seen any eqivlaent of the white here.

 

all the tesco's and big c's have HUGE selections of powder, like a whole isle !!

so in short.

£10 for a large tin of enfalac a++ is your best option if you want to go pricey. but i'm not sure its worth the extra. you'd be better off bringin vitamin drops with you and adding to the powder they can get .

 

 

google - SMA, by Wyeth, is S-26 in Thailand

There is no store in Thailand as far as I know that have imported infant formula, and not likely to be one, because it is a heavily regulated product and would have to go through various FDA rules and regulations before it could be imported into the country. I doubt any company would go through all the hassle to bring in a product with such a small customer base.

Thanks for the info, much more constructive than the post before your's. the baby is currently having blue cap SMA for hungrier babies. but when that's not available she won't drink the cheaper stuff and hence loses weight. i'll get them to buy some of the more expensive brand and see if she drinks that.

i'd be interested to know myself the differneces between the differrent brands here.

i started my newborn sprog (half farang) off just over a month ago on the enfalac a++. but decided that the 300 baht stuff looked jsut as good.. however i to would prefer sma as i know its good.

i'll jot all the brandnames down later in the week and post them on here for you . might be able to google them all .

 

i though it was white cap for hungry babies and yellow was normal .. is'nt blue the lactose free one ?

or is it yellow is stage 1 and while is follow on .. lol .. so many different ones !

 

if anyone reading this does now which thai brand is for newborn hungry babies then please post us some info !!
