Milupa Aptamil First Infant Formula Milk

I used Aptamil for both of my children and I think it's a great product.

My breast milk dried up at 9 weeks and i was suddenly left with choosing formula. I studied hundreds of reviews and ascertained that aptamil was clearly the overall best choice. I am so pleased with my decision because my LO has not suffered any colic, reflux or constipation. She is such a happy baby!!

The aptamil might not be the reason for having no problems with my LO but having read so many reviews there is definately something in it and i have no intention of switching. Yes, it is more expensive than the others but i'd rather go without myself to ensure my LO gets the best and happiest start in life.

Many people stated in the reviews that they chose certain formulas because it was what the hospital gave them so it must be the best. Let me tell you that the hospital will stock the cheapest formula, not necessarily the best so don't be fooled. Saying that, all formulas will give your child what they nutritionally need, Aptamil just does it with lesser risk of constipation and colic which in itself is priceless in preventing.

I first started my daughter on sma gold as that's what all my family had used, however she seemed unsettled and did bring quite a bit of her feeds up, nothing major but enough to make me wonder if it was her milk not agreeing with her. I ummed and ahhed for the first 7 weeks of her life whether to change her to aptamil or not, I heard a lot about cow and gate being the same so I tried that first but still was pretty much the same so went back to sma gold thinking that must just be how babies are and I'm worrying over nothing. I don't know why I picked up aptamil at Asda instead of sma, I just thought what the hell, I've heard of so many people changing to aptamil and it changing their babies completely, I'm just going to try it. I felt ever so guilty making up those first lot of bottles with aptamil, all I could think of is what must all this swapping and changing be doing to my poor babies digestive system, but it was too late now, she needed feedin and that's all I had. Wow! After the first bottle, no sick at all, not even a little when she brought up wind! She is much more settled and happier and I'm so glad I did it. What I want to get across in this review is to not listen to everyone who says that baby being a bit unsettled, a bit sick is normal because a change in milk could be all your baby needs. I put off changing to this milk because I listened to these people and after changing her milk once with no difference I felt too bad to change again but in the long run for a couple of weeks of having different milk it's well worth it to have a happier baby for months to come when I could still be dealing with a slightly sicky and unsettled baby and still wondering if it may be her milk!

I purchased Aptamil for my son and have had problems with it since he was about 2 weeks. At first he was taking it ok and seemed to be settled. He started to get really sore tummys and they were keeping him awake. i spoke to my health visitor who said it could be the milk... he really struggled to bring up his wind and was passing wind down ways loads instead. his nappies were really bad aswell. We have sinced changed his milk to SMA and he seems to be alot more settled and took the feed alot better. The SMA milk seems to be alot smoother and luiquidy is his bottles than the aptamil did. This problem could have just been my little boy, doesnt mean the milk wont suit other babies!

My 4 week old daughter was suffering from bad constipation and pains, we were using sma but changed to this and within 24 hours saw great improvement .

I have used aptamil for my little boy since he was 2 months old and have found it to be a great milk which is easy to digest and doesnt seem to clog him up.

My Health Visitor recommended Milupa Aptamil to me as I was using SMA and was having diffuculties with constipation. The Aptamil First worked wonders within 24hrs.

Would have started off on this milk if I had known about it.

my baby girl is now 9wks old we started her on cow and gate comfort and she had dreadful consitpation we tried colief a cranial oestopath then rasins juice etc then swapped to hipp organic due to the low iron she started to go 3 times a day but still consitpated and crying when feeding!!!! not drinking!! now started Milupa Aptamil First Infant Formula Milk and she has been normal ie soft,and is drinking the whole bottle fingers crossed it keeps ok.

Is good to use to compliment breastfeeding. If not breastfeeding it has added fats that are in breastmilk, closest formula to breastmilk.

Not as widely available as other formulas, its usually stocked in large shops and chemists but most local stores only stock the 2 most popular brands which in my opinion are not as beneficial to babies.

I like this milk, i breastfeed but always have a couple of ready made cartons in the cupboard for if my baby needs a feed while im out.

I have used aptamil for both of my daughters and have been content in both cases.They liked this milk and would finish their feedings in no time.

I thought the foil packaging was a disadvantage but at the time they were also selling at chemists a special container for storage so it worked out as far as transport and storage were concerned. If the temperature of the water is not correct it is difficult for the powder to dissolve and the nipple clogs when the baby is feeding.

I would recommend Aptamil. I breast fed both of my daughters for six months and used aptamil to supplement without any problems.
