I have switched my son to hipp after having issues on aptamil which caused him constipation and wind. Did your LO settle well?

Also those on hipp, is it ok to keep the foil in an empty aptamil tub?? Because it has a leveller so it will make my life a bit easier! I have washed rinsed and dried thoroughly beforehand

I used Hipp with no problems, although DS is now 8. They used to do it in individual cup a soup type packets, which was really handy fir going away.

Caused constipation for my baby, I have just switched to aptamil comfort. It's a shame as it's the only organic one. Yes I think it's fine to use the aptamil tub.

My daughter was fine with Hipp. If you go to their website, you can buy a storage box with a leveller for a tenner. Made our life a lot easier.

DS got on really well with it, we bought one of the Hipp tubs and it worked brilliantly.

DD got on well with it. Found the premix cartons annoying for out and about, though, as I always needed scissors to open them

God send for us after using Aptimil Comfort which also caused DS constipation. No issues with his stomach or bowels since switching. He's 8 months now and still has it, although switched to the Follow On type once he was fully weaned as it's cheaper (2 for £13 at Tesco I think)

I put it into the Aptamil tub too and even went as far as cutting the labels from the Hipp box and sticking them onto the Aptamil tub hahahah! I have too much time on my hands (i also didn't know they sold empty boxes on their website!)

Shock Why would you pay $40+ for a box of formula that costs about £8 in the supermarket? That price is nuts unless you live somewhere far away from all civilsation where the company has to charter a plane to deliver it to you. Confused Have I missed something on that site and it's several boxes?

We're using Hipp for DS (5 weeks) to combi-feed and after initially being a little constipated, he's now doing absolutely fine. I haven't really tried any other ones, though, so I'm not sure whether he'd be the same with any other formula.
