Aptamil Profutura

This product lacks protective antibodies found in breast milk. My son experienced higher risks of infections (ear, respiratory), digestive issues like diarrhea, and allergies. It is expensive, requires strict hygiene to avoid bacterial contamination, and lacks the exact, evolving composition of breast milk. It may also contain contaminants.

Perfect for baby with constipation!! – Our feeding dramas were solved with Aptamil profutura after having tried 4 different formulas! Up until 2 weeks we were breastfeeding and having to top up with the hospital recommended NAN optipro gold HA until the breeding stopped and he was formula fed exclusively. By day 3 he was so badly constipated we had to give him a supppository. We then… Read more

tried the NAN comfort as we were told it would be more gentle however this only caused him to throw up and still hadn't relieved the constipation issue. Finally we were recommended to give Karicare a go and were ecstatic to see that he loved it and was able to open his bowels without any issues. After 2 weeks of the Karicare he agaun became constipated to the point where he would wake up mid sleep to scream and cry and was turning purple trying to push pebble sized poos. By this time we had given up hope of finding a formula to suit and thought he had some sort of allergy. After a midnight run to the chemist and not wanting to give him another supppsitory we were recommended to try Novalac Constipation formula that worked! He loved it and was having a dirty nappy daily until it was happening too frequently and the formula wasn't keeping him full as he was needing to feed every 2 hours.

Thank God for our maternal health nurse who had compared the contents of Novalac to other formulas available and found the Aptamil Profutura had the same level of protein making it an easy changeover and easy for him to pass poo.

2 tins in and out 5 week old is thriving on Aptamil Profutura! I cannot recommend it enough considering the drama we had with formulas in such a short period of time. Regular dirty nappies and no more restless sleeps or crying of wind pain. Thank you Nutricia!

Excellent product - only 4 stars due to Nutricias poor marketing and communication – My first son performed really well on Nutricia Karicare goat formula. After some years we put him on to the Karicare gold - after his gut matured it was our goto and is to this very day. In hospital they had Aptimal Gold + for our second. He responded well to that. I would have gone with their karicare product but didn't want to accidentally… Read more ·  2

put my oldest son's stage 4 formula into a new born bottle. We do crazy stuff when sleep deprived. So we went with aptimal because packaging is different and your less likely to make a mistake.

I got the more expensive Aptimal Profutura. Its been perfect!

Unfortunately Nutricia are useless. They have not responded to my email which basically asked to questions -

* What is the difference between Aptimal Gold+ and Profutura?

* And is it the same product as karicare in a different container?

No response.

Nothing on their online store either. Seriously go onto their online store and try and find detailed product information. There is NOTHING except price that differentiates Profutura with Gold + . Why? Or even detailing what is different about their karicare range and aptimal range.

From doing a variety of research from those who had time to call Nutricia - (I dont with a new born) and put it online.... I garnered the following info

Aptimal Profutura is different from Gold + because

* Slightly more omega 3

* omega 3 comes from animal sources. I believe more animal sources in the pro one

* slightly better ingredients

Anyways Nutricia you have a great product. I've tried many of them against your competitors and yours is so soft on both my children stomachs. It kicks butt. I am however, bewildered by your poor marketing and lack of response to my email

Please be more proactive in actually spelling out what value we are getting purchasing this product over Gold+. And why do you have two separate product lines? Are they different? Your most valuable customers are those with new borns. These are the ones that don't have time to call you but will form habits in purchasing your product right up to stage 4. Respond to emails. Update your site and product cans with actual information!

Finally it is rather difficult to attain Profutura. Perhaps because they have done a really bad job at marketing this product. I can understand why any old joe wouldn't just purchase this over Gold + given the lack of info.

My daughter is usually a picky eater but the Aptamil Profutura gives us parents peace of mind knowing that she’s getting the best nutrients and additional supplements to her otherwise picky diet.

Unfortunately my son rejected it but he is going through a fustration stage where he only wants breast milk and rejecting foods and anything else. It does taste great and was easy to make. I will keep trying to introduce it to him and maybe put some in his breakfast smoothies so he gets the vitamins he needs. Show details

This was our first time trying out one of the Aptimal products and I can say I’m very impressed! My nearly 2 year old is very fussy and will usually only enjoy a warm milk before bed, BUT i think we have found a new replacement. Not only is it nutritious and has so many benefits but my little one is begging for more everytime! It is on the pricey… Read more

side but with the current price of milk I can confidently say this will last us alot longer so is worth it in the long run. We will definitely continue using this product. 10/10 in our household!

Very disappointed in this product. Every time we feed our bub this formula, he projectile vomits the whole thing back out. Tested twice now and he does it every single time. 45 bucks down the drain. Rang the support line and it was a waste of time. All they will say is to take our bub to a paediatrician and get assessed for intolerance. Show details

Not for my baby – I tried to give my baby this formula because it is more expensive than my regular Gold+ and seems supreme. But my baby immediately got diarrhea after one feed. So I stopped Profutura and gave her back the Gold+ and she's fine since. Maybe it's just my baby's reaction to the probiotic thing. She's always reacted bad to probiotic. So after all, expensive doesn't always mean better. What suits the baby is the best. Show details

Great product – First things first; this formula personally helped our little one tremendously. BUT she has always been a relatively easy going baby and has been had an issue with any formula, breast milk, various bottles or teats, so these reviews will always be relative as each baby will be different. So ours loved this milk and it really made a noticeable… Read more

difference to our daughters colic symptoms. Combined with the Dr. Browns colic bottles we’ve been using, all 3 of us have had a drastically better quality of life!

My child really enjoyed this and it’s such a great brand and always such great quality. I definitely recommend it to other mothers as it is great for children over 12 months years old. Show details
