No problem with my baby taking too the formula and no reaction. A popular brand which is the better priced out of them all but all formula is rather expensive personally

Think this is seen as a slightly better product but when you check the nutrients etc there is very little difference so not really worth the extra money. However I had no problems with it.

Aptamil was our formula of choice as a back up incase breastfeeding wasn't an option for our daughter. I had friends who had used aptamil for their children and had no problems so I went with it. It turns out that she used formula from the day after her birth day until 1 year old. No problems, good value & easy to prepare. Also We noticed a difference in the consistency, colour & smell between the powder vs pre made formula but baby couldn't tell the difference.

The water used to prepare the formula should be boiled half and hour before use. The maximum amount suggested on the formula should not be given to a baby but rather less shout be given. For example, if the formula states give a baby 180ml at 4 months; the parent need to decide if this is appropriate as not all babies are already to have 180ml of formula at a certain age.

Absolutly discussed to find 2 beetle insects in my baby milk powder when the powder is sealed. Be aware everyone I loved this milk for my baby however beetles lay eggs and can become contaminated within the powder. So so shocked

My little boy was on the first milk from 5 weeks to 11 weeks, he's had nothing but problems with his tummy, constantly crying, vomiting that much it would puddle where was and only managing to poop once a week. When I heard about the new formula making babies poorly I swapped to sma comfort and it's the best decision I've made. He's a completely different baby. I've seen him smile more in 8 days than I did for the first 11 weeks of his life!
