This milk has been really easy to use and prepare especially being a first time Mum. We picked it based on the fact that it is one of the cheaper milks on the shelf. It fills my baby up and he’s not suffered from colic or constipation. - Strengths:

As well as breastfeeding both my babies had to have top ups, and knowing that this was what my mum used it was my go-to brand, to be fair they have taken well to any brand they have had but I have bought cow and gate the most. Also helps that my local ASDA which is a 5-minute walk away do a deal on multi buys which saves a couple of pounds in the long run - Strengths:

I’ve always made sure I buy a decent make or a make I’ve heard of for my little boy. From the word go it’s been easy to follow on instructions on the packaging. Fills my little one up and within price range too. Other well known brands are a little bit more pricey I’m sure they do the same job as this brand. - Strengths:

Had a few issues with this product, been using since my daughter was 2 weeks old (5 months now). It sometimes can be incredibly lumpy - especially if the boiling water has cooled a little! However this seems to sort itself out when the bottles are shaken thoroughly. There was also a lot of confusion with the new packaging!! However this product is great value for money and hasn’t caused any problems for my daughter. She’s grown happy and healthy! - Strengths:

I exclusively breastfeed however if I pop out anywhere my twins will have this as a substitute to breast milk. It does not upset them and they get on ok with it considering they are mainly breast fed. - Strengths:

We had to change my baby boys milk to Cow and Gate at around 5 months and even though we had changed his milk there was no problems. He seems to enjoy the milk and drinks more of it . The price for the quality and quantity is amazing. I also contacted customer services with a few queries and they was so helpful. Would definitely recommend. - Strengths:

Great product overall. Packaging is great and easy to open both sections. The spoon seems to get the powder stuck to it no matter what I do however but you can use a different spoon. Never had an issue with my baby feeding. Inexpensive compared to other brands. - Strengths:

I swapped to this formula after extensive research when a competitor changed their pack size and ingredient quantities . There is a fraction of difference in the ingredients and there is no one formula should better than any other nutritionally Eo price made it an easy choice - although the pack size has since gone down and price remained unchanged with no reason for this . - Strengths:

Unfortunately we didn’t start off on this formula, we had to switch as my little one didn’t like the first one.
However since being on Cow & Gate she’s never looked back. She guzzles her food, she’s never sick with this milk and she is gaining weight steadily.
The price matches up with its competitors so you’re no worse off but the quality of this outweighs them by a mile. - Strengths:

Really good product, my little one has reflux and mixed with thickener it is perfect, don't like the new instructions for making but this is the same with all brands, 45 mins to make a bottle when you feed on demand is not easy, when used with a perfect prep machine no issues - Strengths:

I couldn't breast feed my baby so this formula milk helped me loads even throughout my depression. It helped my little one gain all the vitamins and protein that she needs. It tastes good and is second best to breast milk , it did help her out on the pounds when she was not feeding very well. - Strengths:
