Hey everyone

what formula did you feed your little one? I know every baby takes different to each but I’m just curious what others used :)

The advice is to just pick a widely available one (so not one specific to a particular supermarket) that is reliably stocked in at least two local shops. They're all more or less as good as each other so just choose one that's convenient.

FWIW we went with cow and gate.

Picked aptamil because it is literally available everywhere and in powder and ready made form.

Never had any issues with baby with it (used from birth) and I've managed to find some when desperate in a garage at 4am ( husband tipped a nearly full tub all over the the floor when making a bottle 😬 )

Echoing PP. pick a brand that's readily available to you in your local shops (especially late night shops/garages in case of emergency). We went with cow and gate and had no issues. Used the powder and ready made bottles.

@CoalCraft thank you! I picked Aptamil for that reason, she seems to get on well with it for the most part but does seem constipated every so often

@Laurappo same here! 😃 that’s heartbreaking about losing a tub of it, given the price 🤣 thank u x

My DC2 is on Kendamil. Absolutely thriving on it and feels like a really gentle formula.
