After trying my baby with other milk brands cow and gate has really done it for me. My baby suffered from alot of indigestion and was constantly constipated. After all other milk brands nothing worked but cow and gate did. I now have a happy baby and finally loves her milk. - Strengths:

I have used cow and gate for all my baby's after changing my first baby from sma to cow and gate as sma upset her tummy, cow and gate is available in most supermarkets and even the local shops it has a handy lip on the tub for levelling the scoops of powder so no need to find something else to use. - Strengths:

I have used cow and gate milk with both of my boys and I'm pregnant and will use this with my new arrival when he is born. Never had any problems with it and neither of my boys was that sick with it. -

I’ve jused this milk for my little boy since birth as we struggled with breastfeeding due to a severe tongue tie. It has been great for him so far. He seems really settled with it apart from a little colic which is normal. He is gaining weight well and is rarely sick. I am really pleased with Cow and Gate and will continue to used this brand for his follow on milk, etc..

I have used this product since I stopped breastfeeding my lo. I have never had any bother. It is one of the cheaper formulas on the market and initially this was the reason I chose it. I am on baby no, 3 and have never had to change his milk like I have with my other two. It is easy for my lo to digest and it keeps him full along with his solids.
The packaging is also recyclable which I also think is great.
If I was to ever have any more children I would choose to use this product again. - Strengths:

I’ve heard really positive things about this formula. I’ve heard that other brands can make your baby fat.
Another negative is that whenever we use the scoop a lot of the powder sticks to it and when you go to use it again there’s powder everywhere. - Strengths:

I have to tried aptamil had to try another formula due to my baby being sick and not taking much of the milk in resulting my baby not gaining as much weight as he should so I tried cow n gate first milk and it is amazing near enough every bottle stays in and now has had a healthy weight gain 5th weighing in a row.
Would definitely recommend this to my friends it's affordable in comparison to other formulas. Also love the plastic ledge to level milk, love how smooth the milk it to. -

I’ve used cow and gate formula for both of my daughters and have had no issues with it. It’s easy to prepare and mixes well.
The price could be better but all formulas suffer from high prices. Maybe they could give money off vouchers or other offers in stores for formula from time to time but that’s about it really. - Strengths:

Good product, the price of it should be brought down as in my opinion it is very expensive especially when babies are young and are having 6 if not more bottles a day, it doesn't last long at all. Also, babies rely on it and there are cheaper formulas on the market. - Strengths:

Both my boys have been on Cow and Gate and have loved it. I've had never had a problem getting them to feed.
Easy to Prepare 1 handed when baby is in other hand. The ledge inside the tub is a good feature. Would 100% recommend this milk. - Strengths:

My son is combination fed and gets on really well with cow & gate. It took a week or so for his belly to get used to it but I was told by other parents that it was the best to mix with breast milk. It definitely isn’t the cheapest on the market but I would much prefer to get quality over quantity.
You can also get the same milk in travel bottles which is great so you don’t have to mix and match different formulas as this can really hurt baby’s belly.
Overall a great milk powder, I’ve never had any issues. - Strengths:

Currently using this milk with my 2nd baby having previously used sma with my first. My little boy is now 14 weeks and so far having no issues using this milk. The formula mixes really well and fast and my little boy is obviously enjoying it. He's having no digestive issues with it and is never sick on this product.
The only negative I can think of is the foil covering the top of the box sometimes doesn't come off properly which is a pain but other than that great product - Strengths:

Had to change from this milk to another brand completely. My baby found it very hard to digest with a lot of stomach pain not being able pass stools.
The instructions are very clear and it is easy to use with a good sized tub with lots of powder in it.
The milk is also very smooth when made. - Strengths:

I use this formula for night time feeds and i use breast milk throughout the day. Its hard to get a high enough supply for 2 babies which is why this formula Is ideal for mixed feeding types.
I believe it is expensive but all formulas are, and this is one of the cheapest. My babies have no problems digesting it they are 3 weeks old. - Strengths:

We tried a few different brands of milk when my little boy was first born but found that cow and gate was the one that he liked best.
It’s really easy to make up and store but think it’s quite expensive for how long it lasts. - Strengths:
