I mix this formula with breastfeeding so my baby only has 1 bottle of this a day but he enjoys it. Would recommend but since it’s the only one he’s tried I can’t really compare it to any others. - Strengths:

Having a windy baby we tried several different formulas before settling on aptamil. We have had no problems at all with it, the excess wind has settled and baby is very happy. Good value for money, lasting a good week. -

I would recommend this milk if you are wanting to breastfeed your baby but having a little trouble at the start. You can use this milk whilst breastfeeding meaning if you aren’t producing enough you can top your baby up with this without baby getting any problems. My only down side to the is that is it quite costly being the dearest of the formulas in supermarkets. - Strengths:

I decided to try my fully breastfed baby on formula milk to ease the pain of feeding her myself and to be able to give my partner the opportunity to help with at least one feed. I chose aptamil due to it being easier to digest for baby and as close to breast milk as possible.
My daughter has taken to this formula perfectly fine and is thriving. - Weaknesses:

My LO has had no issues with this milk, however I only chose it as I thought it was the most popular, there are cheaper alternatives but I do not want to change my baby's feeds to avoid upsetting his stomach. Powder milks are great as it's just adding the amount of scoops to how many oz e.g. 5 oz - 5 scoops! I can buy it in all the local shops around me, be it big superstores or smaller corner shops. However as it has both plastic and paper packaging it is slightly more effort when recycling in comparison to other options. - Strengths:

When I was in hospital, my partner and I decided on giving my daughter aptamil first infant. We were drawn to this milk because of the adverts and looked like good quality milk. My baby loves it and it keeps her little tummy full! It definitely keeps her healthy and growing! The only bad part is that it is kind of more money than others but I’m glad I choose aptamil for my baby girl! - Strengths:

My baby has been on thus since birth with no problems. More expensive than others but its digested well and mixes well when made up with a tommee tippee machine. The scoop can get a bit static at times so you can feel you're under scooping as all the formula doesnt come out! Just have to give it a good bash on the side! - Strengths:

Switched to aptimal 1 after using hipp due to silent reflux and it seems to have helped . The formula is easy to make up although powder does stick to spoon when adding to bottle so we use formula pots so you can make them up easily and have the pots ready for use throughout the day. The formula is the most expensive brand but seems to work and my son seems happier on it. The powder doesn't seem to always dissolve properly and leaves bits which stick to the bottle but it doesn't seem to affect baby. - Strengths:

My baby is breastfed but when I needed to top her up with milk I found this formula she took to straight away. The box design is good I like the way the scoop attach to the lid. The only down fall is that it is cardboard so if you drop it it breaks the tub. - Strengths:

Both of my children have been on this formula since birth. With my son (2nd baby) he had this formula along side breastfeeding and it was a lovely compliment to his diet. Both of my children have flourished on this formula. - Write a review
