As the title says.

I'm planning on combi feeding with formula and breast milk but not sure what formula to get.

Does any one have an recommendations?

Aptimil is great, that's the one I used when switching from EBF to mixed before, and I have brought some in preparation for this time.

I used Hipp with both DC. I thought they were more settled on it.

I used Hipp, DD seemed unsettled on Aptamil and I thought Hipp suited her better

I always used Aptamil.

It makes no difference - they are all the same.

Whatever one your lo gets on with and you can get hold of easily. Aptamil and cow and gate are made by the same manufacturer but C&G is cheaper

dementedpixie · 16/06/2015 15:46

I wouldn't say they are all the same as some suit better than others.

They are certainly not all the same!

DS started on a prescription C&G so we moved him on to their normal milk when he was ready and no issues. Nurses in scbu mentioned that SMA can be a bit 'windy' for a lot of babies but DNs were fine on it.

Aptamil smells rank, possibly due to the fish oil in it. We moved to Hipp organic as a friend did a taste test of all the formulas and said that, to her, it was the one that tasted most like her breast milk!

I think the Hipp is nicer, although the packaging is a bit fiddly.
