Aptamil Gold+ AllerPro 1

Didn't work for either of my twins – This was suggested by our doctor for suspected CMPI. Both of my babies became very unsettled a few days in and it made their silent reflux much worse unfortunately. One has since returned to Aptimal Gold and the other moved on to Neocate. I had high hopes for this but 2/2 were unsuccessful. I hope others have more luck. Show details

The only formula that helped our reflux baby – Our now 5.5 month old baby had really bad reflux as soon as he was born. We were doing mixed feeding and I had purchased an organic goats milk from Germany that we thought would be more easy to digest but unfortunately it wasn’t sitting well with him and our local GP told us to put him on a thickener. This was in hindsight the worst decision to… Read more

have made, as within a couple of days he was covered in really red pimples all over his face. We decided to switch formula over to Oli6 and this didn’t help either. We even tried Nan Comfort based on peoples reviews here regarding their reflux babies, but after two hours of the feed he was screaming his head off.

Our GP had told us to try him on a dairy free formula, so we headed off to Chemist Warehouse and luckily the lady who was stocking the formula shelves had a little boy who was going through the exact same thing as ours. She told me that her paediatrician had put her son on the prescription only formula, and told her that if she was ever unable to get the prescription filled to purchase the Aptamil Allerpro as it was the closest thing to the prescription formula but you didn’t need to get a script for. I purchased this and we haven’t looked back.

We then took him to a paediatrician as a last resort of getting rid of the reflux altogether in hopes of getting Losec. He gave us two types of the prescription only formula to try. We used the Aptamil one first, and he did say that sometimes because these are so broken down in the protein that it can have the reverse effect and actually upset the baby’s stomach even more, which it did. We didn’t bother trying the other brand and it was due to expire a week later so we didn’t worry about it. So sticking with the non prescription Aptamil Allerpro is what we’ve done.

I’ve read reviews about getting vented bottles that would help with the amount of air being taken in which would possibly settle his reflux as well, so I bought the Dr Browns bottles. These bottles, in conjunction with the Aptamil Allerpro, have been a godsend and we continue to buy this formula. Anyone who has a baby with reflux should look at using the Dr Brown’s vented bottles, just a caution, the reservoir tube and insert need to be replaced, from our experience, within a couple of months or you end up with leaky bottles.

We noticed about a month ago that this formula was suddenly extremely difficult to find at chemist warehouse. They have just restocked them and today I noticed that they have change the wording on the new tins so they must’ve wanted to get rid of every last can of the old style before sellers could restock the new tin. This was really frustrating because we didn’t know what formula we would put him on if we couldn’t get a hold of this formula again.

It’s hard to find the right formula for each baby as they’re so individual, so this is just our experience.

Mixes well and no bubbles – I'm 8 weeks into motherhood, and as we all know nothing ever goes how you plan! My plan was to breastfeed my boy, but turns out my boobies don't work very well. Whilst I was having one of my home midwife checks, the midwife said I needed to put my son on formula asap as he wasn't gaining enough weight - my mother in law was over at the time and… Read more

offered to pick some up for me. My midwife said it didn't matter which formula to use so she advice my MIL to just grab whatever.

My MIL's children all had allergies when they were babies, so she grabbed this formula - my son doesn't actually have any allergies but its a good precaution.

I've really liked it, I like that the formula is really thin, theres never an issue with mixing the formula and there's never any air bubbles. I tried A2 formula once and found it didn't mix as smoothly and bubbles formed and took forever to pop away.

It being so thin doesn't seem to have impacted my bubs much, he still gets full and is gaining weight very well!

He does get a bit spewy but I don't think that's got anything to do with the formula, I think he's just a spewy baby.

I'm happy with it :)

YOU NEED TO READ THIS IF YOUR BABY HAS CONSTIPATION AND REFLUX – My son was born 2 jan 2016, i couldn't breastfeed due to his level sugars went down, so the hospital give him nan HA GOLD which was working fine and having dirty nappies but had reflux but it didn't bother me cause it wasn't that bad, a week later my son was not sleeping at all i called nurse online/hospital/children helpline/called aptamil… Read more

hot-line/nan hot-line/goggled and so on, nurses where telling me this is normal this that but this is my 2nd child and i had a feeling that my son is in pain, i realized my son was constipated and pooing really hard balls of poos, so i made a change on his formula i went with nan comfort was doing the job but his reflux was really bad, he would spew all his milk, i added aptamil thickener still wasn't working after 3 days my son got constipated and same poos again really hard and he was in pain. then after 2 weeks i went a bought aptamil AR GOLD it was really good and his reflux was amazing,but after 3 days constipated and same poos again, so i had enough i went to the hospital, the doctor wrote me down a formula and said this would work 100% it was bellamys the worst formula i ever gave to my son, it was nightmare of 1 week,,so i called aptamil hot-line and some lovely lady asked me if any of the family members have eczema or any allergies, she explained everything for me and made so much sense, after i got off the phone i headed straight to the chemist and purchased this product APTAMIL ALLER PRO GOLD PLUS,

I GOT HOME I MADE HIM 150ml WITH 1 AND a HALF SPOON OF THE APTAMIL THICKERENER i gave it about 4 days and let me tell you i was never as excited as i was to see that dirty Nappie and sleeping from 9pm till 4.30 or even 10am till 7am straight and his only 6 week old, i am one happy mum and the little one is happy.

NOTE

he does pass lots of wind/GASSY

spewing a little maybe like a table spoon which that is normal

i know i have wrote a lot but just wanted to share that i know alot of mums/dads are going through this and i just wanted to help. hope this works out for you.

Baby has taken to it well – With all new things, took a few tries to transition our newborn onto this. Am using this as top ups when there is insufficient breastmilk supply. Initially, baby used to make a face and spit, however has not gotten used to it. Easy to prepare, smells reasonable, no adverse reaction and no problems with baby taking this. however have never seen it in store, apart from on Amazon and is pretty pricy. Show details

Has helped bub. But the smell...!!! – Baby was on Aptimil Gold before we encountered blood in her stool. Paediatrician recommended Allerpro. We had a shocking time at first because we didn’t realise we had to slowly transition her from one formula to the other. This process took a couple of weeks. No more bloody stools and baby seems much more settled, but boy does she stink! Her… Read more

breath, her wees and poos all smell terrible. It’s a rotten egg smell. I’m not sure whether it means it’s not entirely agreeing with her.

Baby spits up rarely & I’ve noticed it’s been quite watery since the switch. Reasonable value for money, but quite hard to find in stores.

The ONLY formula for allergy prone babies – we had to switch to this formula at 6 weeks because of suspected food allergies Easy to prepare, smells and tastes much better than other formulas, available at chemists and special stores Formula is gassy, baby was not taking much initially, slowly we increased the quantity by 10 mls, worked!

Excellent but can t barely put my hands on a tin – Our pediatrician advice us to give this one to our son due to ongoing issues. But we realised it wasn t easy to have our hands on just one tin as most shelves were empty. So it was endless call to most chemist around the city to see if they could keep us one aside. We were glad to be avle to switch his milk as soon as he felt better.

Not for our baby – Have tried several different formulas for our baby girl thought this one might be the hit but doesn’t agree with her at all. Has smelly farts, smelly poos, bad wind pain in severe pain 2 hours after feeding. My baby girl has bad colic and reflux this made things worse for her

Dosent agree with my LO – This forumla is easy to prepare. I dont like how watery it is tho. Bub drinks it no hassles. But shes been on it for 3 days now and she is having explosive diareaoh, Very watery, Smelly and yellow. She has broken out in a rash on her face and neck. I haven't been told she has an allergy but i tryed this for her reflux as i read good reviews.… Read more

Unfortunately it isnt the right forumla for my LO.

Will be changing as soon as i can see the paed.

Good pricing but hard to source this forumla.

The formula made for our gassy baby – To all the mums and dads with gassy, fussy babies intolerant to dairy - we recommend this product, or at least trying this product for a week to see if it helps your baby's digestive issues. It solved all of our baby's complaints including gassiness, bowel cramps, unexplained crying that wakes her from sleep, unsettled nights, skin breakouts,… Read more

green poo and smelly farts.

We were reluctant to try this formula as we had tried a gammut of other ones without success. She started on SMA as a newborn and though she was thriving, she was unsettled and gassy. This increased over the first month, so we tried NANpro which caused her symptoms to hit the roof. Then it was Aptamil DeLact which gave her green poo, smelly farts and bad skin but cleared up the gas. We then went to Aptamil HA which was as bad as NANpro. We gave up on dairy and tried Karicare Soy but stopped after reading up on suspected negative effects that soy estrogens may have on baby reproductive organs under 6mths old. Then it was Novalac Allergy which was good but she hated the taste and was still restless after feeds. We got a full size tin sample of Aptamil Allerpro from our GP, after having wasted so much money on formula which was incompatible with our baby. That was the godsend formula for her. We have since bought another tin.

Allerpro dissolves well when made according to instructions. It did separate if left to stand for over an hour, but easily redissolves when shaken. It doesn't have an unpleasant smell, more like weetbix in milk smell than normal dairy formula. Cost is slightly more than normal formula, but less than Novalac Allergy that she would otherwise be on.

Baby finally thriving! So thankful for this! – Our poor Sweetie was not thriving on my breast milk. She had dropped from the 50th percentile at birth to the 9th percentile by 4 months on mummy's milk (with only a 400 gram gain in a month of exclusive breastfeeding/no supplementation). Despite everyone being dismissive, saying babies grow at different rates, she's probably just genetically… Read more

smaller, don't supplement, it will make your supply worse, blah blah, she was constantly fussy and unhappy and I knew she needed supplementation. (As a side note, please trust your own instincts!) This was formula number three we tried. The other two, she either didn't like the taste or it made her unwell. This stuff is amazing and helped our daughter gain a whopping 600 grams in just two weeks (with just one bottle a day!) and she is now climbing back up the charts (20th percentile). I'm so grateful for this stuff. Not everyone has enough milk, so don't be afraid to supplement if you feel your baby needs it. It's made a huge difference for us! Only wish I'd done it sooner.

Good for my baby – Backstory - My older child had diagnosed CMPI (Cow's Milk Protein Intolerance) and was put on prescription Aptamil Pepti Juniour. My younger child was showing signs of CMPI when I consumed milk while breastfeeding. At almost 6 months old, I was ready to move him onto formula and chose this, based on the recommendation of the early childhood… Read more

health nurse.

Child accepted it immediately, and I was relieved. He seems to be thriving on it. He had a mild neck rash in the beginning, but that has resolved. The follow-on formula (step 2) seems to contain more sugar and fish oil, so do your research before you move onto it.

The formula is very easy to prepare. It dissolves easily in warm water and bottles are easy to wash out. It certainly tastes much better than the prescription formula (extensively hydrolysed) that I had to use before!c

Good for Bub but causing lots of regurgitation – Formula is easy to prepare. Bub took to the taste well. Noticeable difference in my child within a few days and within a week everyone said his skin looks much clearer and he looks much happier. Only down side is this formula makes him extremely spewy and it has not settled.

highly recommend – I've tried 10 other name brand formulas which resulted in more constapation, reflex or diarrhoea. this was a last resort for me and suprisngly it was a hit. my son loved it (despite the odd smell) it alleviated 99% of his symptoms, he put on weight healthily and it was easy to prepare, mix and most importantly clean from the bottles, unlike some other brands I've tried which left the bottles greasy afterwards. highly recommend

Thankyou allerpro – My baby is cmpi and struggled to find a good easy formula that works well for him. Allerpro is easy to use, smells and tastes better than some we tried and Bub likes it. We found that it is a little thin so bub was spitting up a bit but we reduced his bottle size and he eats more frequently.

How long it long after ithe formula is made ; it’s last 2 hrs. Or 1 hr – It’s really gud works out very well for my son,I m using number 2 at the moment once the formula is made how long does it last , also can I use the formula to make smoothies or in rice cereal etc. As it’s my first bAby I m always worried and wants to make sure before I give it to him.  Show reply

Great stuff – Our child is intolerant to cow’s milk and any soy protein. When given cow milk products or soy protein the stools will change consistency and will take on an acidic odour (similar to vomit... nice). Feeding our son this product results in normal stools. He’s happy and Mum is relieved. A suggestion for anyone have a tough time sourcing it at… Read more

retail chemists would be to buy from Mumstore (online). It’ll save you trapsing all over town trying to find it.

Saved my baby – My 15 week old was not gaining weight from breast feeding so I have had to top him up with formula. He was miserable and very unsettled and we ended up at the paediatrician who told me to top him up with formula I started him on aptimil pro futura and he became very congested. I then changed to aptimil allerpro as I also suspected a dairy… Read more

intolerance/allergy and it was the best decision I made. Allergies run in the family, I am lactose intolerant and I suffer with allergies and hayfever. My 7year old was a colicky baby and has allergies as well so it was an easy decision to change to allerpro

It has been 2 days since we started him on it and he is such a happy baby. Congestion is getting better as well.

So far so good! – We have a family history of allergies to cows milk protein, goats milk too it would seem. My 4 month old enjoyed it straight away (cried for more) very easy to prepare, we've only used it as a top up for 1 day (1 full night feed) and he's been very relaxed and next to no spewing!! Can't wait to see how he is overnight!

Lufesaver for my bub who has milk protein allergy – We decided to give this one a go As a last resort before having to go towards prescription formula after various formula trials. This has been a lifesaver. His poos are back to normal, no more wheeziness, eczema cleared up and less tummy problems. It is alot easier to prepare compared to novalac allergy and his poos arent as foul smelling on… Read more

this one.

It is also priced reasonably well. The only issue is that it is extremely hard to find them. Alot of chemists never have any in stock. Im thankful my chemist lets me bulk up on them when they do have them in stock as bub really needs it.

good for allergic baby – My friend's baby has allergy to protein. He has to drink this one. But I heard this one doesn't have too much nutritions compared to normal ones. So my friend prefers to feed this to baby first and after the baby gets better with allergic problem, switch the formula to normal one.

Ideal for babies with milk protein allergy – We tried numerous different formulas, all of which caused my baby to break out in hives and worsened his eczema. After finding out he has a milk protein allergy, we were recommended to try a hydrolysed formula. This was the only one we tried that didn't bother my sons stomach or skin.

did what we needed. Saved us – our bub wasn't sleeping and clearly unsettled. We took a long time to figure out it was dairy proteins (not lactose). While we were figuring it out we went to this formula which has all the proteins broken down (soy and non-cow based can cause similar problems - but by all means try them). Sometimes we had to phone around to find it, sometimes it… Read more

was at the supermarket. but it wasn't worth switching to other formulas when this one worked for us

This helped us get through my baby's reflux – Easy to prepare. Baby took it fine. This in combination with medication was the only thing that helped his silent reflux.. We tried going back to a regular formula but he flared up again. Not the nicest smelling of formulas. My kid lived off this for the first year of his life and he is thriving.

Solved our problem, mixes well unlike soy – We got this after our 3rd baby would not sleep through after 8 months, still getting up 3 x a night. This pretty much solved it, and was recommended by our pediatrician. The product looks and mixes the same as the normal Aptamil, which is good. The soy one we had first never used to mix properly.

Was a life saver – After trying many different formula’s this one didn’t have my baby screaming in pain like all the others. It so gentle on little ones tummy it’s amazing. Easy to prepare. Smells a bit like maple syrup. Dosent upset tummies. Only downside is that you can’t only purchase from a chemist.

Worked well for my reflux baby – My baby hated formula and it seemed to mess with her tummy a lot. I thought I would try this for something different and I'm glad I did. It smelled and tasted less "chemically" and really seemed to reduce her reflux problems. The only downside is that you can't buy it from Coles/Woolies, but I would definitely recommend it.

Easy to digest for my bub – My 11 week old has been having this formula for 4 weeks now and has tolerated it really well. We are suspecting a cows milk allergy as he did not digest other formulas very well and had wheeiness, congestion and a nasty rash. Since being on this formula, his bowel movement are more regular and the other symptoms have resolved. This formula is… Read more

really easy to prepare, it dissolves well. He seems to enjoy it. I wish it came in a non-gold option though as I don’t like the fishy smell it has to it and the bottles are hard to clean because of the oil. Other than that this formula has been great for our baby.

Great formula – My baby has tried many formulas for her allergies and this one really works for her . Would be great if the super markets carried it as I can only find it at Iga stores or chemist . The super markets are always sold out of your normal formula not sure why but maybe they should order more in . Thanks

Life saver – My little boy ended up being milk protein intolerable and he took to this formula well! The longer he was on it the more of the problems he had disappeared (mucus poo, pulling legs up, grunting) . Definitely worth a try he stayed on it until one year an ttwo months.

Lifesaver! – It was a nightmare finding a formula for my son! We tried S26, S26 Gold, Nan Comfort, A2 Platinum, Aptamil AR, Novalac Reflux, Novalac reflux with feed thickener, karicare goats milk and then finally Aptamil Allerpro Gold+ I had a severely reflux, colicky baby and it took six months to be diagnosed with a milk protein allergy. This formula saved my life!

Terrible for reflux baby – This formula was terrible for our baby, who had very bad reflux. I thought I'd try it based on all the great reviews. We eased our baby onto it by slowly but when she was fully on it she spewed every feed and had diarrhoea for a week. I personally think the formula is too thin and although in hindsight I could've tried adding the Aptimal thickener I saw bad reviews for the thickener so was wary to do this.

The only formula which worked for me! – My 12 week old baby had allergic reactions (reflux, colic, eczema, diarrhoea) to both cow's milk & soy formulas & when I put her on Allerpro ALL her symptoms stopped within 2 days! It's a thin formula so she does feed more frequently (every 3hrs) but worth it for a happy, pain free & settled baby. I highly recommend you try this product.

Works for us – This formula has worked great for our baby over the past 10 weeks since newborn. Baby doesn't have any allergies, but we decided to try this product anyway. Slightly less thicker formula than regular formula. Baby has taken to it very well and has had clear skin, no rashes or bumps at all.
