Great – We had our daughter on Nan optipro 1 till 12 months old then Nan optipro 3 till 16 months, now our daughter is on this and loves it even more than Nan optipro 3. (Note, this transition of the formulas listed were good for our daughter and we never had issues). Up to each individual to their own. Show details ·  1

After a month of consuming Gold+ stage 3, my baby has been having non-stop diarrhoea – My baby has been having Gold+ since she was born. And she has been having diarrhoea after a month of consuming stage 3. She has had rashes and swollen bottom from the diarrhoea. We never thought it was the formula that was causing the problem. After we stop giving her the formula the diarrhoea stopped.We have given her the formula again when her… Read more

diarrhoea was cleared, and it happened again. I wonder if there are any other babies having the same problem. Same thing happened with my friend's child as well.

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.

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.

Good but constipated my bub – But disappointed in this one. My daughter has been on the Aptimal AR formula from 4-12 months due to bad reflux, and it was fantastic! Swapped to the toddler milk at 12 months and although she likes the taste and everything else is as good as the AR, it unfortunately constipates her.

They shouldn't have changed ingredients – My bub had been on Aptamil Gold since birth as I was unable to breastfeed. All was fine when we first moved up to #3 and there were no issues for months. Then we started the tins that said there had been changes to the ingredients. He began to get constipated. I thought bub had an upset tummy so I kept giving the formula. It continued. When I… Read more

looked it up online I then realized it could be the formula so I queried a customer service rep, and as you can imagine, apparently it's my fault, "it must have been something they ate". I changed brands of formula & bub hasn't had any more problems.

Good but impossible to find – I have not been able to get my hands on a can of this for at least 6 months, been to at least 30 diffrent pharmacies/supermarkets in Sydney and it is non-existent. I think it is a good product and my daughter loves it but Karicare make it impossible to find this anywhere. I think the product really does strenghten immune system. My baby is never sick. Can't buy it anywhere

Fantastic Formula! Happy baby, happy mum! – Great introductory formula for mixed feeding from birth through to toddler drink! Absolutely no side effects, or fussiness that was experienced with other supermarket available formulas. A little more expensive but definitely worth it for a happy, content baby! Had considerable trouble finding both 1 & 2 but supermarkets reintroduced buying limits to control Asian bulk buying and have since not had an issue. Great product. Show details

Our little girl loved it while she couldn't have cow's milk – Baby girl took to drinking the formula very easily. No side effects or reactions from drinking the formula. Like other formula, very easy to prepare, simple instructions, measuring spoon included. Happy to recommend. Show details

It quite cheap but taste good – The milk powder is very fine, it feels easy to digest and absorb, and the washed milk powder is particularly fragrant. The baby is especially fond of drinking it. Overall, I am very satisfied. Show details

Great for constipation – Only formula that didn’t cause constipation or excessive wind. I went through so many tins of different brands. Easy to prepare and my baby loves the taste. Thick enough to help with mild reflux. Show details

My girl's choice – It is my girl's choice of the formula. I tried NAN and Bellamy for her in the past as well but it seemed that she like this formula best. It is difficult to buy one so when you see the products in stock, just buy them. It is creamy, easy for digestion and provides good nutrition for the babies. I didn't notice any side effects on my girl. Show details

My first choice of milk for my toddler – I really had hard time looking for milk next to enfamil when we arrived Australia. I'm glad that my sister in law introduce aptamil gold to me and now my daughter gains weight upon taking it. I buy 5 cans of 900g whenever we shop as sometimes it is out of stock. I need to buy lots of it since we only shop fortnightly and definitely would buy more coz my daughter loves it!

Baby loves it – My daughter has always been on Aptamil and she loves it. We did not dare to experiment with this any further. The availability is a bit of an issue with the product not available on the shelf most of the time. We always have to ask the attendant to fetch one from inside the storage.

Good formula – I have no issue with this baby formula. Aptamil gold + 3 provided enough nutrition to every age steps's baby. It is very easy to prepare. My wife also no issue with it. My daughter love it very much. Highly recommended to my friends and family members to try it.

Excellent Formula, Highly Recommended – Our baby enjoys this formula and took to it with no issues at all. Our baby didn’t have any side effects or negative reactions to drinking this formula. It is super easy to prepare, the instructions are simple to remember and it is worth the money - healthy and affordable for sure!

Good second choice milk formula – We got the similar product but in the satchet form - only when we ran out of our usual S26 Gold formula. We were keen to try a different brand, and the supermarket did not have our regular one. I must say the quality is not different from the S26. Easy to mix, they actually smell less metallic compared to S26. My son seemed to like it a lot… Read more

compared to the S26 but that could be due to the fact he was bored with the S26 after drinking it for few years! It wasn't constipating.

We will be switching to Aptamil Gold more so - seemed to have more discount available and more attractive pricing.

Good Milk Formula, Great customer service – Aptamil is a good choice for my baby as we regularly need to go back to Hong Kong and it's also supplied there. Furthermore we've tried a few brand, and my baby found this most suitable e.g. poopoo looks good, won't refuse to drink etc. However, it isn't like other brand e.g. S26 has some discount promotion regularly. But stage 3 and 4 is… Read more

reasonably lower, so it's more affordable.

Also, their official website live chat is very useful as I was unsure which series to try on AR, HR etc. And their customer service explain very clearly what's the purpose and in which situation for different product.

However, from time to time, it's shortage on shelf at super market and we need to try a few different store if it's urgent.

Great value for money – We gave this one a try when our second baby ran out of A2 stage 3 toddler milk and when we could not find any from the shelves of any supermarket or pharmacy. It is proved to be a good alternative. It is quite easy to prepare and no side effect was noticed. The price is much more attractive than A2 and the baby seemed to like it as well.

Finally found a formular that is gentle on my little one's tummy – Aptamil Gold +3 really helped soothe my little one's tummy. I have tried many different types of formulas before and they never seem to digest well. Once I started my little one on Aptamil, immediately the runny poo's stopped and he felt much better. The small is better than other formulas too.

Good formula – My baby boy usually drinks Aptamil and S26. This one seems dissolve better. The smell is better than S26 and similar to the adult milk. The kid just love it and we will continue feed him with this one. It can give him daily energy and nutrition to make him happy.

Good formula with affordable price – Good formula and my kid really likes it. Aptamil is always the brand that we stick to and we used to buy it from stage 1. The formula is easy to prepare and no side effects or allergy noticed so far. The best thing is this brand product is much easier to buy than a2.

My backup formula – the formula is easily accessible, and my daughter would always drinks it when her main formula is out. easy to drink, easy to digest and there is no running poo issues with my daughter. personally I would recommend it over karicare, very trustworthy. my daughter is fully healthy and rarely gets sick

My daughter loves it! – Bought the Aptamil Gold formula range for my daughter, who is now just over 2 yr old. Whilst it is hard to get excited about baby formula, this one is easy to mix and is good consistency, and my daughter doesn’t hesitate to drink it. Only problem is availability and price, but all baby formulas appear to be in the same boat in this regard.

It is good but not the best – Aptamil Gold+3 is very easy to get from Coles! I was thinking to change bellamy to aptamil because it is much cheaper than bellamy and A2. But my baby doesn't seem enjoy that much. Maybe the other one is better. Some of my friend's kid like it a lot though.

Good price with good quality – This is is much easier to prepare and purchase. Unlike A2, you could find it at almost every shopping center. And my baby enjoy it very much. We buy Aptamil from stage 1 to 3, and now we determine to continue to buy it for stage 4. I trust it.

Good choice for your baby – Aptamil is easy to prepare. I usually to give a2 baby formular to my baby but now a2 is very difficult to buy in the market,then I change to aptamil gold. My baby like it as well,but last time I taste a little bit, I think it is a little bit sweet for the baby.

My boy loves it, the only formula he prefers! – Very easy for preparing. No side effects by observing and the little one really loves it. It gives us a peace of mind for his nutritional supplement as we don't need to make extra efforts for his regular food. I guess that's the reason why it is always run out from the supermarket shelves.

Good quality product – My child loves it. Usually when children are sick - they don't eat or drink anything. Thanks to this formula drink, my kid loves it and even takes it when he is down, It is a very high quality product. I worry, why this product is not available readily on the store
