I use Aptimal but I've heard good things about HIPP organic

 

[Sage]

When he was little i used cow and gate comfort. helped no end to settle him and ease his colic. hes still on cow and gate comfort 2 now. i tried to swap him back to the normal c & g 3 but it just didnt agree with him.

FISH??? seriously? could it mean fish oils, like omega3 or something? how weird. no wonder formular fed babies have smellier poos. lol! sorry no advice...

I started out with Aptimal for Sam but it didn't agree with him i then changed him to Cow and Gate he has the hungry baby one though! With George I gave him SMA Gold and he had no probs with it.

we use cow and gate though i think they are all fairly similar xx

Aptamil Easy Digest here. The normal Aptamil made her scream and projectile vomit (actually she still vomits everywhere but finds it amusing now ). We started on SMA Gold but that made her constipated.

SMA gold. We are anything but a walking advert for comfort milk. We tried C&G comfort and it was horrendous. Nearly a week of 10 explosive nappies a day. Advice from C&G was that it's normal (!) - EHHH NAW! She was fine as soon as we put her back onto SMA gold again. Only reason we changed was to try and help her reflux. It didn't help at all, in fact it probably made her worse. Rant over!

 

[Full of hope!]

We've always used Cow & Gate and have had no problems. Jacob has been on the 2nd milk, hungry baby, since 9 weeks.

Formula is now supposed to have LCPs (AA and DHA, or Omega 3 and Omega 6 as they also get called) as it was shown a few years ago that this made a difference to babies intelligence and is naturally occurring in breastmilk. Aptamil had it in before the research was done and it was recommended for all formulas, which is how they got the reputation of being closest to breastmilk, which is no longer true as all formulas now have LCPs.

Anyway, as we know from adverts, fish and fish oil is a good source of these so that is why there is fish in the ingredients.

SMA gold as I can get it in almost any shop if we're out and run out of it.

Cow&Gate Comfort... Louis loves it and whenever I try to give him a carton of normal Cow&Gate if we're out he becomes fussy (the Comfort doesn't exist in ready-made cartons as it must be mixed with very hot water).

Im a cow and gate fan, the fish is essential oils. I never had any problems with it and the better one of of the others i tried but each to their own. Every baby suits different formulass.

Hollie is on SMA white for hungrier babies and she loves it!! we started off on SMA gold but she was still hungry after 6oz!!!

 

[Steelgoddess]
