This milk do not purchase!!!!
Made my little boy so unsettled
The frustration it caused was sureal he was very sick after every single bottle, very upset as though he was in constant pain hiccups really bad he just wouldn’t settle no matter what I tried, not opening bowels regularly (4/5 days apart) so a big build up which made him more irritated. Aptamil was really gritty texture, strong smell also very frothy when made up causing a lot of bubbles, sick was real smelly and also stained clothing! My boy was very gassy lots of wind that also smelled.
I strongly do not recommend aptamil neither cow and gate they are made by the exact same company resulting the same ingredient just labelled differently which is very naughty!
After lots of research Iv switched to HIPP organic and WOW what a game changer from the first bottle he is a complete different baby a miracle over night! I’m not one to write reviews but I have with this milk as i wanted other people to read and if going through the same thing with there little ones don’t hesitate to change milk strongly recommend hipp organic over any other brand 100 percent !!!! - Strengths:

Aptamil formula is great for my baby. He enjoys drinking it and has the perfect weight gain for his size. It also seems to keep him fuller for longer compared to other formulas I have tried. - Strengths:

We started off with this milk as it was a well known brand. However, baby struggled to wind at the beginning and this milk did not help as it is incredibly frothy. There is so much foam that sometimes I can't even see if there's any milk left in the bottle. Also very expensive - Strengths:

I chose to use this powder formula as I was already using the mini premade bottles with the sterile teats by Aptamil to combi-feed my daughter so didn’t want to upset her stomach by changing brand unnecessarily. I persevered for a week until it has almost run out before changing brand as I wasn’t satisfied it was best for my baby. She bought a lot of her milk back up after most feeds, it didn’t mix well and left a grainy residue on the sides of all bottles even after preparing each feed exactly as the box said to which I’d never experienced before with my eldest son that had SMA as a baby. I also thought it had quite an unpleasant smell. All in all I wouldn’t recommend this formula, it surprises me that I was so disappointed with it as it’s one of the more expensive Stage 1 milks on the market - Strengths:

Before the change I would have rated the milk higher, however since the change we have found that the milk does clump more and therefore gets stuck in the teat . The recommendation is to ‘shake vigorously’ - it does occasionally also have to be shaken during the feed usually resulting in a very angry baby!
However the milk is easy to make, and reasonably priced therefore we have stuck to the brand. - Strengths:

I wanted to use aptamil as I’d seen the ads on tv saying closest to breastmilk but I’m unsure how I feel about the product I find it doesn’t mix very well bits get stuck in the teat even after shaking bottle for 5-10 mins. Formula gets stuck to the leveller quite messy and stick. I’ve also noticed the milk clumps around my baby’s mouth she’s on aptamil once a day and a special milk the rest and that milk doesn’t clump/curdle around her mouth. - Weaknesses:

I found that my little one would take this milk, but it made him sickly and very windy. The milk when being made was very messy and wasted a lot of powder compared to other brands we have tried. Overall this product wasn’t for us. - Strengths:

We started our daughter on this formula from birth, because we stocked up before she was born we had some of the old formula.
This went down a treat, she couldn’t get enough. As soon as we switched to the new formula we started having problems. She wasn’t drinking as much and when she was she had terrible diarrhoea!
We switched and she’s never looked back - Weaknesses:

I had started to stock up on this milk before my little girl was born. Just before she was born I had seen a lot of mixed reviews about the new formula. My health visitor told me to stick with it as it is the milk she always recommends. I'm glad I did as personally we had no problems with it. My little girl has fed on this from about 4 weeks and she loves it. - Strengths:

I used this formula for the one bottle I fed my baby at night, the rest I breastfeed so I'm not sure what it's like when used all day and night, but my daughter took to it really well both breast and bottle. She was never sick from the milk and didn't suffer from excessive wind from it either. It lasted us a while but as I say we were only using one bottles worth a day. Overpriced just like most formula and has the bad smell like the rest of them but overall really impressed and have been told by multiple health professionals that it's the closest thing to breast milk compared to other formula. - Strengths:

Used this since birth after recommended by a friend. It’s available in most stores, easy to measure each scoop and my baby seems to enjoy it. They have just changed the formula; however I had stocked up on old formula so not tried new one yet....I am a little concerned about trying new formula after reports it was making babies sick. - Strengths:

I have used this for my now 6 year old and now my 15 week old. I have always swore by Aptamil as personally I feel they are the most trusted brand. My 15 week old however got caught it the brand changing formulation and with the bad press I worried a little how it might affect him. As I trusted the brand enough I continued with Aptamil (new formulation) as my baby is doing great, can't seem to get enough of it. He is growing fine, feeding well, bringing up wind fantastically and also digesting regularly. I will always use this brand and product and will continue to recommend it. - Strengths:
