What is Hipp Goodnight Milk?

I've just had a free sample of this from milk along with a coupon for 30p off next time.

It says its creamier than regular formula and can help aid a bedtime routine which would be lovely right now as it's a fight to get DD to go to sleep at night.

I'm quite happy to use the free sample and nothing else if it's not gonna do anything but if its true and can aid I may buy some more but I spose my main question is does anyone know anything bad that could happen?

Can someone advise?

If it;s like Cow and Gates goodnight milk, it will have added potato or rice starch in it.

helps baby feel fuller for longer as it;s more difficult to digest and so is supposed to keep them sleeping for longer.

not to be used under six months as it essentially contains solids.

Hipp Goodnight milk.

tis glutinous and tastes disgusting thats if your baby can suck the damned stuff out.
my mate tried it... That one tin has been around 14 mums none of whose kids like it!
not mine either he is breastfed or cows milk.

Hmm, rice and oatmeal. Why not give him a some porridge eg, Readybrek just before bedtime instead? Guarantee it will work out cheaper in the long run.

Oh right so it's kinda like the idea of putting a rusk in the bottle. Hmm I think i'll just stick to my hungrier milk that we have for the night drink. Thanks all.

P.S does anyone want it?

oh its oats btw not potato or rice but still icky imho

i say keep on with your normal milk and give them some cereal or something. Another marketing gimmick aiming to get you to part with your cash. I'm pretty sure it's more exoensive than formula milk.

yup, just checked...£3.99 for 7 sachets as opposed to £5 for a tin that lasts ages.

lacka - Someone told me not to give solids to a baby after 4pm. Is this the same once they're 6 months? or can I actually give her something to go to bed with?

Its another marketing ploy to get folk to buy their milk, obviously.

I wouldnt imagine the risks are any greater than any other formula milk tbh, but, we arent given anywhere near enough information about these products are we?

Worth a try, but, I'd stick with the post-six months advice just to err on the side of caution.

LuckySalem · 07/07/2008 22:03

Yeh she's 6 months now so we're ok to try it that's why I thought I'd check. It's been in the drawer for 2 weeks waiting!!

DD doesn't cope with more than 2 bottles of 2nd milk a day without getting constipated so I'm assuming if I only give her 1 of this she'd be ok.

never heard about not giving solids after 4pm....my DD was part BLW, part purees from 5.5 months and she has always eaten her evening meal with the family at 5:30/6 o'clock.

If it was late though it would put her off her nightime bottle so maybe that's the reasoning behind it?

VeniVidiVickiQV · 07/07/2008 22:07

What's second milk?

LuckySalem · 07/07/2008 22:09

Hungrier babies stuff.
