Nestle NAN A.R.

Smells like [Content Removed] – I brought this product as I ran out of nans comfort and this was the only thing on the shelf, My baby surfers really bad with colic to the point he doesn’t gain weight. I find him spewing less but the smell is horrible smells somewhat burnt in a way and the clumps at the bottom every bottle it’s like as if you need a blender to dissolve the thing.… Read more

I’m on the fence about this product as I don’t know how safe it really is if it smells and clumps up badly like this.

Disgusting – Bought this yesterday because our baby was spewing a lot. Mixed one bottle. She refused to drink it. The formula just sinks to the bottom like a sludge. Doesn't dissolve. Figured I mustn't have had the water hot enough, so I tried again and the same thing happened. Saw a review on here about it smelling like rotten fish and I totally agree. Threw it straight in the bin. Show details

This has been wonderful for my baby – My daughter was on NAN opti pro and had bad reflux, would need to hold her upright after feeds, tilt the bassinet and she would still vomit. I changed to the NAN AR and she is so much more content, I do recommend going up a size in Teat but she is so much happier and sleeping better! Show details

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY – This was suggested to me by a health nurse because my son spewed a lot of the nan comfort. I spent 2 months using it, made my son so sick after 3 trips to the doctors and a hospital trip we ended up figuring out it was this formula. I have recently changed and he’s so much better. It also clumps up bad in the bottle.. very hard to shake out Show details

Don’t bother – Terrible formula, spent 23 dollars on a can tried making one bottle, the formula just clumps up and it gets really thick, we didn’t have a teat with a larger flow, after reading all the other reviews I decided this was a straight up waste of money Show details

Absolutely terrible steer clear – This formula is terrible it just clumps to the bottom of the bottle no matter how hard and how long you shake it. You do not realise until you’ve finished feeding and then your baby has had 120ml of water with no food. Absolutely terrible product.  Show details

Would give zero stars if I could! – I gave my reflux baby 1 bottle. He was writhing in pain for hours after and spitting up clear liquid hours later. 8 hours later he was vomiting up excessive amounts of clear liquid and couldn’t hold down anymore fluids for the next 12 hours!! It made him incredibly sick which resulted in an ED trip and an admission! And no, he did not have a viral bug (confirmed). Horrible formula! Show details

Wonderful formula for my son with reflux – My newborn has been very unsettled and I didn’t know why until he started to spit up his formula I had been feeding him previously. Thin formula was burning his chest and he would bring milk up and have major hiccups. We went through hell. We changed to NAN AR and he has never been happier, putting weight on and not crying after his feed anymore. Great product! Show details

So far so good – Switched my baby back to Nan after trying the Novalac reflux. My Bub was originally on the comfort product and he enjoyed the taste and was always satisfied whereas he certainly wasn’t on the other brand. He has only been on it again for a day but I’ve already noticed a considerable difference. Definitely required the variable flow teats as it is quite thick once made. Show details

Baby saver – Not the best taste but my baby is settled and content. She was projectile vomitting from nan supreme 1 bow with AR and mam bottle no issues. Wish i had made changes sooner. Show details

Works for Bubs – Baby enjoyed drinking this particular formula as it was given to him since day 1. No issues with this formula and we've been repurchasing this on a fortnightly basis. Formula is super easy to make. No issues. No fuss. Show details

Didn't work for my bub – I bought this as I have been using NAN Comfort. My bub has reflux and it didn't work. He started vomit everytime I gave it. It's very thick and also bub didn't like the taste. It's a shame as I thought this one could be great as the Comfort but it wasn't.

Ineffective and waste of time! – This formula made absolutely no difference to my baby’s reflux! He would still spit up/vomit huge amounts of milk. It thickens in the bottle, so we had to try a variety of teats to ensure good flow, it was gluggy and smells vile, going in and coming out! I used this as my bubs love the regular NAN formula, but I will not be using it any longer.

Worked well for a bit – This A.R formula was great for our LO however he did randomly vomit and dry reach as if there was something else in that batch of formula. We are however going to switch to a different formula as he shouldn't be throwing up midway through feeding. Also a trick we learnt, after shaking to unscrew the bottle to release air bubbles and screw back on bottle before feeding it to baby. Best of luck mums and dads!

good option for Reflux babies – Our little bub was on the Nan comfort but had reflux, not the worst reflux but significant enough that part of our routine was to keep her upright for at least 30 minutes after feeding. we have switched to a combination of the comfort and this. we are doing 2 parts comfort to 1 part AR and it has made a big difference. As I said she wasn't at the… Read more

worst end of the spectrum so we didn't have to go to a full AR feed.

Note that because of the thicker formula we had to go up a teat size.

Perfect for vulnerable children – the innovative way of packaging in the Nestle NAN A.R some how is quite exciting and talking about excitement \, I was really when I saw my child easily digest this formula and on the contrary with other normal formula which led her to suffer from re-fluxing. The combination of starch and other ingredients made Nestle NAN A.R thick and you have to make sure that use high temperature water to dissolve it properly.

the constant spewing is finally gone – my last daughter had terrible hickups and constantly spewed on nan ha gold. we got her checked out at 8 weeks old and was told to swap to nan comfort. nothing changed she couldnt keep down anything. we swapped her to AR and the instant relief was amazing. hickups gone, weight gain was instant, spewing ALL gone. absolutley grateful there was… Read more

something out there for my baby. only issues was mixing it was harder i found i had to shake it up longer and i needed to buy the fast flow teats. she adjusted to it though.

thanks NAN

April 20th 2017 Update: BUBBACHINO IS MUCH HAPPIER NOW

My 3rd baby had really bad reflux. We tried everything. She was putting on weight but the formula just wouldn't stay down. We changed from nan pro gold to nan AR and have never looked back. She's keeping her milk down is much more content and happy and sleeping all through the night.

Absolute bliss

perfect milk for reflux – 1. easy to prepare fresh. 2. Baby drinks all her bottles and no vomiting from re-flux. 3. no side effects - stomach perfectly fine - no wind at all. Little bit expensive but works well for baby. Highly recommended - Works well with nuke bottles and Medium flow teets. *

Disgusting- if I could give 0 stars I would – Worst formula ever my son has colic n fm reflux switched to nan comfort works a charm for colic but then he developed silent reflux was told by nurse to switch to nan AR within a day he was constipated couldn't handle it changed back to comfort and he pooed a few hours later it's was almost black and smelt like pfff bins I wouldn't recommend this formula to anybody switching to nan ha gold wish me luck !!

Finally my daughters reflux is gone – I love Nan AR. The other combinations she tried made her have more gas and reactions. With Nan AR she gets avoid when I take it away from her. She loves it

Terrible is not the right word!! – My lg has been on novalac reflux which has made her constipated as it is casein based. Upon professional advice I was told to try whey based and was told to get nan ar. The formula is way too thick and I have been using vari flow teats due to reflux formulas, when she finally was able to get the formula she pulled off as she didn't like it and it… Read more

made her really gassy. Now I'm having trouble getting her to take to novalac again! If I could have given it no stars I would have.

Too thick, smell. Taste.

Disgusting – Nightmare to dissolve, very thick and lead to disgusting foul smelling poo .Lead to very bad eczema. Tried calling staff multiple times initially they tried to put blame on us for faulty mixing technique but latter on said problem with the formula .assured proper action will be taken but nothing till now. Apparently nan do not care for babies or parents Nightmare to mix , disgusting poo and horrible eczema

Taste like a rotten fish – The old packaging of NAN which was the 900G was excellent, my daughter loves it. But, when they changed it to 800G packaging, the taste suddenly became like a rotten fish, how did I know? Because I actually tried it to find out why my daughter unexpectedly refused. My daughter now hates milk because of NAN! We tried to switch to other brand like… Read more

S-26 but as soon as my daughter saw that it is milk, she will just decline to take any amount of it.

Taste like a rotten fish

Wonderful!! – My daughter developed silent reflux. The pedia recommended her to use an AR formula. I decided on the NAN as she was already on NAN Gold. This made a huge difference. She was finishing full bottles and feeding properly. 3 months later she is still on this formula and a very happy baby! You can purchase at any Pulse pharmacy, Chemist warehouse, and My Chemist. (the latter two are cheapest at $19.95) Works!!!

OK – i see it as using nan pro gold with the added thickner. not a bad product! couldn't find it except on the other side of town. it is really thick and was hard for the little one to drink but once he was used to it, he seemed pretty settled on it. Just not the formula im looking for, but bubs didn't mind it. Lil man has had wind from day one and… Read more

developed reflux around a month old. used this product for a few weeks but gave up because it was hard to find. He would still bring up some of the milk but his wind pain did settle a little. formula is very thick so large size teat would be required. very hard to find. formula is also very thick!
