Hard to dissolve some batches and can become clumpy and clog up the teat. Not good for babies with colic or reflux but works well for us once my baby had outgrown these.

Cow and gate are competitive with the other leading brands. The one value I did find they had that sets them apart from the rest, is their travel cartons of pressure mixed milk that were in convenient plastic bottles with disposable teats that were very handy to keep in the changing bag or car. I was never caught without when I found these useful packs as you never know when your child may spill, lose their bottle, or just suddenly decide they require more milk that you had prepared when you left the house!

This is the only brand that my baby tolerated due to her reflux. We use the original cow and gate along with carobel, seeing a huge difference in her overall comfort. She has been on this formula since 2 months of age and we won

I would of stayed on this formula price is reasonable. However, gave my little one bad constipation and then she would have a massive poo explosion. I tried it for 2 months in hope it would get better but it didn't.

Similar to Aptamil this does not dissolve well and leaves undissolved bits at the bottom of the bottle which means your baby doesn
