Ihate it as well, but mr 2 loves it, plus we all have it on our cereal each day. It's $2.70 at Couplands bakeries as well, plu stheir bread is only $1.10 a loaf, so big savings, and bread stays fresh for ages, too. ]]> Wed, 09 Jan 2008 21:43:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13460&PID=273934&title=cows-milk-which-one#273934 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13460&PID=273926&title=cows-milk-which-one#273926 Author: BabyOnBoard

Yeah but coke is just sugar and water a lot cheaper to make compared with the cost of growing a milking cow .

Pams, Budget, Anchor, Dairy Dale etc is all the same milk from Fonterra no idea why they vary it just the different price points that Fonterra set.

So is there any diff between Anchor/Meadowfresh bluetop and the cheaper brands??

Dairy dale or budget are cheaper and its all the same milk, it all comes from Fonterra milk vats.

Junior milk or mega milk is blue top with extra calcium it is more expensive than normal blue top and not sure there is any benefit.

Blue Top is the best milk for the whole family and the most economical too!]]> Wed, 09 Jan 2008 08:31:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13460&PID=273440&title=cows-milk-which-one#273440 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13460&PID=273419&title=cows-milk-which-one#273419 Author: yummymummy

I've been getting that toddler milk, which I think the special one is, for myself for a few months now. The one we buy is the Meadow Fresh Junior milk as it has iron added to it as well as zinc. I have never had any problems with it separating or being lumpy either on cereal or in coffee or tea etc. I know Anchor have a toddler milk too but don't think there is anything much special about it - just added calcium.
Anyways, we'll def move Gina onto the Meadow Fresh Junior when the time comes - I think the extra iron can only be a good thing and I don't think the milk is any dearer that the normal Anchor/Meadow Fresh ones.

Here is a link to a nutrition comparison - Junior milk

I'm weaning Brenna onto cows milk and am using dark blue but then I noticed a special kids cows milk (for 1 -3 year olds I think).


What's the diff? Which one am I supposed to use?
