I have used this for all of my children at some point. I breastfed all to start with and they transitioned to this formula well.
It is affordable compared to other formulas and we have had no issues. - Strengths:

There was never an option to feed a different formula to my 2 children. Throughout being a parent..i have used the stage 1 milk and also the hungry baby and also comfort version in the past. I love Cow & Gate, My mum fed it to me when I was a baby 27 years ago! Can't fault it - Strengths:

My baby boy has been on this milk since the day he was born as sadly I was unable to breastfeed and I can honestly say he loves it! He is a very happy and health little lad who really enjoys his milk! Fortunately, we've never had any issues with colic or reflux and believe this Milk agrees perfectly with him and his digestive system! - Strengths:

we switched to this formula after I had trouble breastfeeding around 1 month after the birth of my daughter. she took to it right away and always finishes her bottles. I find that when I make bottles I do find powder on the worktop in the kitchen even with using the spoon and handy level provided. but maybe that's just me being messy. - Strengths:

We used this from day 4 with eldest son. He took to it really well. Easy and quick to prepare. Seals on the tubs are great, so didn't worry about the powder going manky etc. My son digested it really well. He was a hungry baby but this filled him up nicely. Will be using again for new baby when he arrives. - Strengths:

I find this great for my son, he’s gaining weight perfectly and loves his milk. Will definitely be staying with cow and gate in the future. Only downside is that he drinks so much I have to buy a tub a week ? -

This milk is the only milk my little ones got on with. Easy to prepare and easy to read guidelines. My daughter went right through to stage 4 of these and she was thriving. Would recommend for anyone. A little on the pricey side but used to last us a week. An overall good product. - Strengths:

I started my newborn on a different brand and it made him very ill, sick, upset tummy and wouldn't sleep at night (I know all newborns don't sleep at night). After two weeks I decided enough was enough and changed to cow and gate. I have never looked back. I now have a happy baby, hardly every vomits and sleeps perfectly! Thank you cow and gate! - Strengths:

I used cow and gate formula for my son who is now 5 and am using it for my 6 week old daughter, I found nutritionally it meets the needs of a baby and gives them all they require as a substitute for breast milk. It is so easy to use and prepare and the ready made bottles were amazing to use in hospital. The formula mixes well in warm and cold water and my daughter enjoys her feeds. - Strengths:

Knowing that I couldn’t breast feed due to medication, I looked into formula, I was torn between two formulas and we decided on the cow and gate.
My daughter enjoys feeding times and is vary rarely sick on this milk and seems to digest the milk fine.
I would recommend this milk to parents. - Strengths:

I have used every brand of milk between my four child and have found my way back to cow and gate with each one most recently trying a new lower priced brand but my daughter was wanting a bottle sooner than her usual three hours so paying the couple of pound more to switch to cow and gate worker out better she has had zero colic, filling her up for longer and hasn’t been sick after her bottles like I had with other brands with my other children so I’m would recommend cow and gate to any other mums not sure which brand to choose - Strengths:

Great value milk which can be found easily in most stores. Easy to prepare however made my son have very bad reflux so we had to change brands. Also available in ready made bottles which are very handy when out and about. I think if your infant can take to this it is the same quality as a aptamil but cheaper. - Strengths:
