Once I had my little girl I was really upset she wouldn't take the breast and felt it was my fault. So I was panicking what formula to choice, which one would be right for my little girl. So I chose Cow and gate infant first. And I'm so impressed my baby took to of really well and I'd never pick a different brand again. Gets a thumbs up from me!! - Strengths:

We all know breast is best, but my baby couldnt feed properly for 12 weeks so has unfortunately ended up as a combination fed baby. But this milk isn't that bad. He doesn't have any digestive problems with it and is developing really really well. It's also handy that you can buy premixed bottles of this milk for when you're out and can't make up formula. That saves having to switch between brands which can make babies' tummies sore. - Strengths:

My little one was given this in the hospital while i wanted for my milk to come in. Now he is eating food I wanted to get him on formula and thought this would be good as he has had it before. Sadly this didn’t agree with my little boy and wouldn’t take to it as all. - Strengths:

We have been using this milk for 9 weeks from birth, I took into hospital the ready made bottles with the teat which are ready sterilised. These were perfect for the first few days at home too so there was no worry about sterilising bottles. We then moved onto the above powder which has been fine and we’ve had no issues with tummy pain or colic. We also used the ready made milk for trips out which are perfect, you just pour in to your own bottle. Worth buying the little powder pots to store the perfect amount of powder needed too.Read more
Always keep one spare scoop as we had another brands milk without one once!

This is the formula my mum used when I was a baby and I bought it on her recommendation, the instructions are easy to follow and baby seems happy to take the bottles and has had no tummy issues on it up to this point.
The price of this formula is more competitive than a lot of the other brands so its friendly on the purse strings as well. - Strengths:

We've been using this milk since by little boy was a couple weeks old. We did a lot of research into baby formula and decided to go for this one. Every milk has to follow strict regulations regarding nutrition and ingredients, so essentially any milk would have been good to use. We decided to use Cow & Gate as it is reasonably priced, and you can buy it just about anywhere. Perfect if you ever misjudged how much you had left and had to quickly nip to the first shop you got to! My little boy takes this really well and hasn't had any issues with it. Also like that you can buy the ready made milk if your out and about for the day.Read more - Strengths:

Little man preferred it over the HIPP. His digestive system responded well to it. The preparation is straightforward,however the dissolving of the milk isn't always great. No matter how much shaking and stirring we do, there is always powder residual. We do use boiling hot water. - Strengths:

My little girl didn’t get on with this milk at all, it made her very constipated and a very unhappy baby so we changed and she was much happier, it’s a shame because it’s so easy to pick up (probably available in most stores) and it’s one of the cheaper ones - Strengths:
