  Stage 4 Toddler Milk Drink

Stage 4 was great for us until recently, when my daughter started putting on weight despite no other changes in her nutrition or activity levels except Karicare formula change (weight gain here implies chubbiness, not just a growth spurt). The packaging doesn't state what's changed so you have to search for it on their website. Well, they've… Read more

increased maltodextrin content, amazing! Maltodextrin has a very high glycemic index, even higher than table sugar, causing rapid and significant spikes in blood sugar levels due to its quick digestion and conversion to glucose. Not sure why a supplementary toddler milk drink needed a higher GI index.

My toddler has really been enjoying the Karicare stage 4 toddler Milk Drink. It smells and tastes just like real milk and he’s always happy to have his cup in the morning. I love that it’s gentler on his tummy and made with quality ingredients. It gives me peace and mind knowing it’s enriched with vitamins and minerals like iron and vitamin D… Read more ·  1

This is an independent review, from me as a stay at home mom and have no incentive in reviewing this product. I have switch to many toddler formulas, from Nan (blue and gold one) to Aptamil until this Karicare. You'll notice on the ingredients list,… Read more ·  1

the number one I have been avoiding are the vegetable oils put in our toddler's milk, which thank goodness there are none in this formula. Moms out there be careful on what you put in your little one's tummy. This is by far the best for us, plus price point is great. It is much cheaper on chemist than supermarket. The downside of this is when you put it on the room temp water (cold season) it is lumpy, kinda hard to stir but if you continuously stir it will eventually be dissolved. Still five star rather than other milk with vegetable oil in it.

 Follow-up  · Follow-up review: what I love about the packaging is that Karicare has a scoop that you can stick in the aluminum lid inside so that it doesn't get buried in the milk contents and you don't have to put your hands in it for hygienic purposes. So that's a smart move. Also, so far my toddler's digestion is okay, she has an everyday normal bowel… Read more

This product was gifted to me to try for my honest review, whether positive or negative. Honestly, Karicare toddler has been great for us. It’s super gentle on my little one’s tummy and actually smells and tastes like real milk — fresh and natural. I like that it’s got all the good stuff in it too, like prebiotics, iron and vitamin D. And it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg either — works just as well as the pricey ones. No complaints here!

This product was gifted to me to try for my honest review, whether positive or negative. Our toddler has been having normal milk for about 12 months now so I was worried that he would reject the toddler milk due to the difference in taste. He didn’t notice any difference but I know the difference as the toddler milk has prebiotics, 16 different vitamins and minerals, including iron and vitamins D to support healthy growth.

Fine but toddler wasn’t convinced – I was excited for my toddler to have this. Unfortunately he wouldn’t drink it, I think purely because he’s not had any kind of powdered milk products before and he prefers cows milk. It tasted fine to me!

Just as good as cows milk – I thought I would try this milk for my toddler, but after trying it I don't think it is any better than regular cows milk. And it is not as fresh as local milk. It would be good for toddlers who don't like regular cows milk as this does have added prebiotics and vitamins. I'd much rather just grab milk out of the fridge.
