Has been awesome for the baby
This formula is so good. We have had no issues what so ever. Even after switching directly to formula after breastfeeding it has not been a problem for the young one.

Perfect for babes
My baby has been breastfed and found switching over to formula to mix feed challenging. However, when we switched to Aptamil he took to it straight away. There has been no side effects - other than a content baby! The formula is incredibly easy to prepare, even in the middle of the night with one eye open.

Perfect with a little help.
I switched the Aptimal Gold + when my son was 1 month old, we tried a few different formulas but his little tummy couldn't handle them.
He is so much more settled now that we have this worked out and sleeps all night.
We do add thickener to his feeds as the AR formula didn't sit well with him but he was spitting up too much and losing weight so the thickener has definitely helped him.
I actually used this with my 9 and 10 year olds when they were babies in the same combination (I believe at the time it was under Karicare gold +) so it is great to see that it is still working.

This is the only formula my 3 year old drinks

Loved it
My child was using this brand from birth and she enjoyed it. Due to it being a bit expensive I had to change to a cheaper brand, I would highly recommend this product to anyone who doesn't want to breastfeed.

Perfect, cheap, and meet basic needs
Compared to aptamil profutura series, this gold series is much cheaper, especially after the profutura series has changed its appearance and raised prices. I would highly recommend this one if mums have a limited baby formula budget, and want to use a good baby formula as a breastfeeding supplement.

My son likes it
We have given both our first and second sons Aptamil Gold+ on all stages. They like it so much and never had any issue with it. It is a little bit hard to find sometimes but it is not the fault of the product, just because people are buying them in bulk.

I wanted to like this formula.
We initially started our baby on another popular formula however I decided to swap over to Aptamil Gold as his poop started becoming quiet solid. I was hoping this would be a winner as I had used this for my first born back in 2010 when it was Karicare Gold and I had great success with it. Whilst his poop has improved greatly, it gave him a ridoculous amount of wind. He literally became a human trumpet. Was he bothered by it?? Maybe not as much as the amount of wind he would make you think but my mummy instinct tells me that he did seem a littl...Read more
e unsettled. Another downside is the effort required to dissolve this formula and the amount of bubbles / foam it creates if shaken. I don't recall Karicare Gold being so foamy 9 years ago. After calling the company to discuss this issue I was advised to swirl and stir with a teaspoon. Whilst this did prevent bubbles and foam, at times there were still chunks of undissolved formula in the bottle. This is difficult when you have a baby screaming for a bottle or when you're out of the house. I demand feed my baby so preparing at a set time doesn't work for us. I appreciate that the foam is created as a result of a particular ingredient (I believe the Fish oils, but don't quote me) and have read a comment by a Nutricia Rep stating that these bubbles stabilise and shouldn't affect baby if the bottle / teat is adequately drawing air back in to prevent baby taking excess air in. This is all good and well but unfortunately it's still a deal breaker for us as I'm not entirely convinced that the increase of wind wasn't attributed to just an ingredient and not the bubbles. As I've stated, I am disappointed that it didn't work for us so we have now moved on to another brand. I would definitely consider returning to Aptamil Gold should the process of preparing the formula be improved.Purchased in September 2019 at Chemist Warehouse for $24.60.

We choose Aptamil!
Aptamil is an easy to use and quality baby formula with research backing its manufacture. I highly recommend to all new parents! Fed my little ones this over hospital based NAN formula.

Perfect. Only formula our baby can tolerate
Our baby would eat anything if she could but unfortunately most don’t agree with her tummy. It’s the only formula we’ve found she doesn’t get wind and an upset belly with. It’s easy to prepare and I love that we can buy individual serves in sachets for when we’re out and about!

Sachets are great for EFB mums
My bub is being exclusively breast fed, but this brand is one of only two that I have found that offers formula in sachets. This means that I can leave my baby with my husband if I have a doctors or physio appointment ect, and know that hubby has an option to feed bub in an emergency. We’ve only need to use the sachets twice but just having them is a massive weight off my mind when I’m separated from my little one.

Great formula
After trying numerous formulas this is the only one our bub seemed to tolerate well. Resolved colic and other digestive issues and he loves the taste. Easy to mix and prepare!

Value for money
I tried this brand 2 months ago, but seem not working well for my baby. Is good for the money, it’s not suitable for my bub as his tummy upset on the next day and the milk rashes are the worst cases.

Easy all round
My baby has need formula to supplement my breast milk supply shortage and she loves it.
What I love:
- I'm always able to find a supply at supermarkets or online stores without any difficulty
- Able to feed from birth till now (baby currently 4 months)
- I use a little bit less than a level scoop to ensure it dissolves completely
- Dissolves in cool water with no issues
- Average price - I usually order online and get free delivery as it's max 3 containers and is over $50

My baby loves it
Good, easy to mix. My bay girl loves it and rejects any other formula. Tried Aptamil for colics but she didn’t like it. Aptamil 1 and 2 are good and I would recommend.

Does stage 3 Aptamil gold plus contain more added sugar than stage 1? Is so why?
No answers
Allyasked
My baby has recently turned 6 months and I switched from stage 1 to stage 2 right away. She is VERY slowly starting solids but not taking to it very well. Since switching formulas she has had runny poops and several times a day. Also more gas than usual.
Previous to the switch she was a very regular pooper once or twice a day at about the same time every morning.
I am thinking to switch back to stage 1, is this the right option?
1 answer
