what formula and why?

[mrs_tommo22]

Im a big fan of cow and gate and used it with my first child and had no constipation, no sickness nothing that was out of the ordinary.

And have used it with Imogen and no problems either, it is expensive but I dont mind paying for it thoughas there is no alternative for Imogen.

I used SMA gold in hospital, then switched to cow & Gate comfort because of Reflux, then eventually I switched to Hipp Organic which IMO smells and tastes much nicer than most formulas, and as you say is cheaper!

The packaging is not very user friendly at all!

I asked Hipp why their formula was so much cheaper and their answer was that they wanted their product to be competitively priced and to make organic formula available to as many people as possible.

I use SMA, gold top first but blue top from around 5 months. The reason is because while i was still in hospital the MW told me after 24 hours with no sucessful boobie feed he needed formula for calories. She said SMA was the closest to breast milk. At the time I intended to breatfeed so chose that.

he had sma in the neonatel unit and spent the next day throwing it up so went onto aptamil , which im still using along side breast and expressed . got told this was the closest one to breast milk and great for newborns who dont breast feed . his poo is more like a breast feed baby then formula and he has about 3 formula feeds a day .

Used aptamil in beginning but made him constipated. Changed to cow and gate and had no problems, that was thanks to the lovely ladies on here win offered me advice

Changed from SMA Gold to Cow and Gate Premium because SMA was making him constipated...
