It's only recently been licenced to be used as formula. Tbh I would use cows milk based that you can also get in cartons and see if that is tolerated first

Oh really? Yes I can't see any travel sizes so it might be too much hassle. It has excellent reviews on Amazom.

I've been using it with dd from 8 weeks, she tolerates it far better than cows formula which gave her terrible reflux.

I did lots of research into it and it seems like the best option given than breast milk was sadly no longer available.

I checked all the vitamin/mineral levels which are at or above daily recommended dose. I also add a powdered probiotic.

She's totally thriving on it as far as I can tell and the previous ban on Nannycare seemed to have no grounding at all. It's is pricy though - £60 a month but heck, she's worth it!

Oh, no travel sized but it's easy to take out - I take a sterilised bottle - a flask of boiled water and a plastic pot with measured out formula already in it.

I would say - if bf is remotely a possibility, I would seriously recommend doing at least the first few weeks - the change to formula (which was totally necessary) really mucked around with her tiny tummy and made life very difficult for a while,

scoobyloobyloo thanks for the info. I thought that I would have to add some kind of multivitamin as I thought it didn't have enough. Yes I suppose I can measure some out. I'm just wondering if I should just try Aptamil first. Breastfeeding not possible.

No worries- you go with whatever you are most comfy with - maybe if Aptamil doesn't suit her then give Nannycare + a prebiotic a try.

Dr Browns bottles are great for stopping wind/colic and you can use them from birth.

Enjoy your new baby

Here's a good article about it:
