A. Hi Mom, I guess I could ans this in best possible way coz I have used all 3 for my 4 month old son. Initially I stated with NAN PRO 1 as I was not lactating (of course on pead recommendation). It was too heavy for him to digest and he end up having worst colic. Then I switched to NAN EXCELLA PRO 1, I found it better than NAN PRO in terms of digestion but still it gave him colic also after feeds he used to spit a lot. Also NAN PRO/EXCELLA made him on the plus side of the weight. I was fed up with his colic issue and frequent spitting so I decided to switch to SIMILAC ADVANCE. I must say it’s best out of all 3. My son is able to digest it properly plus he remains very active post feed, colic has reduced tremendously, no frequent spitting and no excessive weight gain. His weight right now is ideal, as it should be for 4 month old boy. So I’ll recommend SIMILAC ADVANCE over NAN PRO/EXCELLA. P.S: This suggestion is purely based on my experience with my LO, please do consult your pead before choosing any FM. And if you can please do EBF, there is nothing better than that. I worked on my lactation, it improved eventually so I do not top feed him now. Some times I may feel he is hungry then I give him a bottle or 2 as per his demand.

A. Hi Mom, Nan Excella Pro is best than the Similac Advance. Nan Excella Pro is a spray dried infant formula with DHA and ARA for infants from birth when they are not breastfed. It contains proteins. Easy to digest. Suitable for baby's delicate tummy. However, it is best to consult with your child doctor before go with any formulas for your little one.
