I used this milk with my 5 year old and now with my 6 month old son. He gets everything he needs from it. It's easy to prepare, the box has easy to follow instructions and gives relevant information. - Strengths:

I started on SMA after I stopped breast feeding and my baby suffered really badly with constipation. I switched to this milk a few days later and he seemed to digest it much easier. The box has a useful scraper on the inside of the lid to level off the powder....very handy. The only problem I found was the powder would get stuck in the scoop because the steam from the water would make it wet. I don't really know away around this but it made it very hard to actually get accurate measurements. -

I would highly recommend this brand of milk a both my daughter and now my 6 month old son uses it!! I tried SMA initially for my daughter and it didn’t agree with her at all, she got sick with it all the time!! Cow and Gate is easier on their tummies and both hardly ever brought any of it back up!! My son loves this milk as did my daughter ! Wouldn’t choose any other brand. - Strengths:

Excellent product. I have a very fussy son who suffers badly from colic and reflux. Since moving from Aptamil to Cow and Gate he has suffered much less and finds this milk easier to digest. The box comes with a build in scoop and leveller which makes it very quick and easy to prepare bottles! - Strengths:

I gave it to my first baby when I stopped breastfeeding at night time, so before to bed I used to give him a bottle during a few months before I introduced cow's milk, and he loved it. It is very easy to prepare, tastes sweet and the price is quite reasonable. - Strengths:

This is affordable and easy to prepare, I'm lucky and had no issues with bub and milk so it suited him down to the ground. The only annoying thing is that the scoop used to get sticky after a while even though I had kept it dry but I found this happened with other baby milks too. - Strengths:

- Strengths:
Easy to digest. Price is fair. Not as rich as some as the other formula milks, settled stomach.
- Weaknesses:
The foil at the top is a pain. Breaks away and you have to pick at it to get most of it off.

I swapped to cow and gate when my daughter was unable to keep her milk down after a week of being on SMA.
Within the day she was so much better when it came to feeds. She was able to keep her feeds down, it was also easier winding her and her nappies were alot better.
The price is also reasonably priced too!
I've used cow and gate with my other child and will be using it again with my child I'm expecting in July! - Strengths:

My first and second have been fed with this formula both followed their percentile so it obviously worked great for us but some babies may not be the same I wouldn’t bulk buy formula unless you know baby is definitely ok with it.

I have used cow and gate first stage milk with all 3 of my children and it has always been first choice. They all have taken to it so well and it's more affordable then other formulas. Would use this with future children also. - Strengths:

I started using this after breastfeeding for 6 weeks, my little one took to it instantly. The only downfall is when preparing the steam makes the milk powder stick to the scoop - I used the tommee tippee prep machine and chose to add the powder first then swirl after the hot water was added and shake after it's fully prepped with the lid on to avoid using less milk powder due to the sticking.

Started on this milk after about 2 months as was scared moving to powdered milk but found it easy to make up and store and the scoop with side scraper in the tub lid helps to get level scoops.
The only down side is the lid closure isn't secure enough.
Also love the money off coupons in the leaflet. - Strengths:

This is the only milk that all of my children have been well using. It’s great for its price and doesn’t have a strong sour milk smell like others. Not too thick or thin either just the perfect consistency. - Strengths:

The product is very good over all. Very easy to prepare and store. Lasts around a week using 120ml per feed and only formula feeding(7-8 bottles a day). It can be a bit difficult to digest therefore won't open bowels as often (in my case once a day/ once every two days ). It changes colour and consistency of the stool. - Strengths:

I have used cow and gate formula milk for both of my children and as I'm currently pregnant now I will also be using it with this little one in expecting. It gives them everything they need and more. Quick and easy to use, adding scopes to the water and watch it fully mix. The tub is also a very generous size. - Strengths:
