LOVE this formula and so does my son!
I am absolutely loving this formula. Where to start? The packaging is very nice, I love that the scoop fits into the lid of the can and that you don't need to dig around to find it! I also love that the scoop fits nicely into a wide neck bottle (I have had spills with other brands). It gets bubbly after you shake it, but he seems to like that and it seems like a 'vanilla milkshake' rather than just milk. My son is 20 months, and up until 11 months old, he always struggled with his milk consumption. We continued with formula beyond 12 months be...Read more
cause he seems to prefer it. This is the first time we have tried Bellamy's and we are two thirds through the can. He drinks 250 - 300 ml of milk a day - this is less than the recommended amount, but we are following the advice of our maternal health care nurse. It is more expensive than other formulas (around $38), but it is a premium product and I believe that it is worth it. My son drinks all of his milk now (not just two thirds) so there is no waste. I have also noticed that he is pooping better - I am referring to texture, not frequency! Not sure if this is due to the formula or something else, but nothing else has changed. I will definitely purchase this again.Purchased in October 2020.

Look the packaging
Love this product! My toddler absolutely loves it. And it’s such a bonus with all probiotics. And so gentle on the tummy.
The packaging is so good. Love the lid and the scoop attached to it. Only thing I would say is if the scoop isn’t as wide for narrow neck bottles, to prevent spillage.

Good drink and full of goodies
My son loves this! Didn’t have any side effects or reactions.
I found it had to be mixed in well. When putting in the amount of powder as per tim instructions, it seemed too much for the amount of water but after a good amount of mixing it did eventually dissolve. That is my only negative.

Calming and dreamy drink
My daughter loves the formula. She’s now 1 year old and has her ‘milk’ in her soppy cup before bed. It has made the process of weaning from breastmilk much easier as she enjoys the taste. She hasn’t showed any sign of not agreeing with the formula and also wakes up happy too. We are really enjoying it!

Happy baby loves this one
Nice texture, creamy and filling it's been great for bubs, he enjoy several bottles a day and has no upset tummy. Loves a bottle before bed to get ready to sleep soundly. Personally I enjoy the packaging, the scoop and 'scoop scraper' make life easier compared to other brands I have tried.

Great Formula
My bub likes drinking this formula. It mixes up well. It’s nice and creamy. She seems to like the taste. Easy to prepare. She doesn’t get diarrhoea like other formulas. Love the lid design too.

I love it, if only bubs would too...
For me it was love at first bottle. From the incredibly well designed packaging (a sturdy attached lid with a scoop holder inside to spare me doing the formula dive to retrieve it) to the way it mixes perfectly with just a few shakes or a quick stir. Unfortunately my 18 month old isn’t as taken with it, no matter how hard I try she will only drink her baby formula. The joys of having a fussy toddler... being an Aussie made product with excellent nutritional qualities I really wish I’d started her on Bellamys as an infant.

All round outstanding formula
I received my tin of Bellamy's organic toddler Formula and the first thing I noticed was the lid it is a really great design . Instead of the soft plastic lid this has a hard lid which clicks open and shut with one hand . It felt much more tamper proof than the soft lids on all other tins. Next was the scoop size . The formula I had previously used had a tiny little scoop that required 7 scoops per bottle. For a mum with a crying hungry baby it's very easy to lose count on the way to 7 ( mum brain is real ) . Bellamy's requires 3 scoops , that...Read more
's right just 3 !!! My son has a very sensitive tummy and I had no issues switching over , no upset nights, no endless runny nappies . And most importantly he loves it ! I highly recommend this formula it is cost effective and has so much goodness added into each tin to help our bubbas grow and be healthy, and it's Australian made and certified organic with the A2 beta- casein protein and prebiotics . I wish I had found this formula 1 year ago . 5 stars in my opinion !!Purchased in April 2020 at Coles for $27.50.

Organic Goodness
This formula was new to our little bubba, but took to it straight away. Great nutritional profile with bonus probiotic + prebiotics + DHA + Lutein + a lot of protein. Organic and locally manufactured product, which gave us some extra confidence to try it. A little frothy compared to what we were used to, and could have been the cause of a few little burps here and there, but no bad reflux at all.
Packaging wise the hinged lid is great! Makes one handed bottle making a little easier if you are holding a hungry baby in the other hand. Not ...Read more
a fan of the scoops aspect ratio though as I found this hard to consistently fill and level. Again due to the shape of the scoop I found it hard to get the last little bit out of the tin. Used a regular spoon to fill the last couple of scoops, since this is a premium product at a premium price you really want to use every last bit. Overall, very good formula that I would have no hesitation serving up again.Purchased in May 2020.

My bubba loved it...
I was a bit hesitant at the price at first, however after a few days I changed my mind. It's texture is nice and creamy. The powder dissolved much easier than the previous formula I was using. It also helped my baby with his bowel movements. Before this he was pooping 3 or 4 times a day. While taking this Bellamys formula he regulated to once or twice a day and really seemed to be quite settled on this formula. So for me, it's worth it. It also has a little clip under the lid to hold the scoop so you don't have to stick your hand in the container and risk touching the formula with your hands :)

A winner first time for the fussiest girl
This was our first time trying any sort of formula product with our first born, who is about to turn 16 months. After the introduction of solids in the first year she has been incredibly slow to adjust to as she is super-fussy. We continued to breastfeed just at night before bed however have been looking to wean this off as we are planning to try for a second soon. We wanted to try Bellamy's first as we already use many of their baby food products with good success, bearing in mind how fussy our girl is.
While she has had a few baby-chinos fr...Read more
om time to time and seemed to enjoy those, we weren't sure how she would take to cold formula at night, just before bed, instead of breast milk. We first opened the packaging to reveal a helpful scoop and tin leveler, which I wasn't sure how to use at first but soon realised what it was for. Following the directions on the tin to the letter, I mixed up 200ml of water and four scoops, gave it a good shake and put the nozzle back on the bottle. This turned out to be way too much for an introductory serving size for our little one, at first glance. So, serving it to the little one, she immediately was interested in it. She drank about 80ml which was reasonable given the first serving, but still wanted breast milk afterwards. Over the last couple of weeks we have stuck to 100ml and two scoops, which seems to be about the right serving size for her. She now responds with a smile when I enter her bedroom and says "milk" when she sees the bottle. One night recently she finished the 100ml and said "more" which is an encouraging sign. She has not asked for a breastfeed for over a week now so the formula seems to be doing the trick. So with just using 100ml and two scoops just at night, we seem to be going through the formula quite slowly, but will look to increase this in the coming months. For now she seems to love it, smiles at the bottle and is not asking for a breast feed. This is a win for us as we can now start planning for a second now that we are not breastfeeding, and we will continue to use Bellamy's Organic Beta Genica-8. The formula is super-easy to prepare, with the scoop leveler in the tin so you know you're using the exact measurements. There are no gluggy parts (like you get with adult protein shakes) when shaken up and no mucky residue in the bottle after she's finished drinking it. We have not noticed any side effects or any changes to poop etc. So for now, looks like 5 stars for Bellamy's with our little one saying "more"!Purchased in May 2020.

Costly Toddler Drink
I found this formula mixed easily. It becomes a bit foamy, but that settles fairly quickly. I did find it to have quite a strong smell, but my toddler always finished his bottles and didn't seem bothered.
What this formula offers nutritionally will give any parent peace of mind. In the two weeks it took to finish the product, I did not notice any side effects, neither obvious benefits however. My toddler eats well and this formula is costly in comparison to others on the market and for this reason I would not purchase again.
The scoop is also ...Read more

Ok product
After trying two other brands of formula, Bellamy was the third brand I used for my son. He has been fine with the other two, but he doesn’t seem to like the taste with this one as he has reduced drinking his formula. Plus he has been having runny poo since we started having this. The formula looks a bit thicker than the others and seems to make more froth when you shake it to dilute the formula.

Premium product, exceptional quality
We tested out Bellamy's Organic Beta Genica-8 Step 3 Toddler Milk Drink for my toddler and she appears to enjoy drinking the formula. We certainly didn't get any resistance! The product is certified organic which is a premium proposition.
The product had probiotics mixed in which saves time mixing in another product. She may have been constipated but we haven't used the product long enough to make a stronger determination. Besides that, no other side effects or reactions.
The formula is easy to prepare. I love the design of the can which places the scoop outside the milk powder which saves you from fishing it out of the bottom.

Very impressed with this formula.
My toddler absolutely loves this formula. He has a very sensitive tummy, and he hasn't had a problem digesting this milk at all.
It dissolves easily in warm water and seems thicker than the other brand he was drinking. The packaging is very well thought out. There's a plastic safety lid and also a handy clip for the scoop underneath the lid, meaning no more digging through the formula to find it.
I will definitely purchase this product again. This is much better suited to my child's dietary needs and digestion issues than the other A2 product on the market. An overall good quality baby formula and definitely worth trying.
Only complaint is that it is an 800g tin instead of the 900g tin I usually purchase.

Nutritional drink for the little ones
The formula was easy to prepare, simified instructions, especially having the bottles alresdy.
My babe seemed to like the drink and didn't seem too phased by the change in the normal toddler milk we had prepared.
There wasnt any side affects or reactions from what I could tell, just a happy bub with a full tummy.

Great product.
I have a 12 month old baby with a very sensitive tummy, we've had issues with formula in the past. Not only has he been extremely fussy with how some formula tastes, he's also had issues digesting it. He took to this formula straight away, never left a drop! We haven't had an issue with him being unsettled or bloated after, like he has in the past. Quite the opposite actually, he started sleeping better! The only issue I had with it is the scoop shape, it doesn't quite fit the narrow neck bottles we have. It would help if it was round shape. Other than that, it's a great, easy to prepare formula.

Nishaasked
How long a prepared formula can be kept in fridge ? 4 hours or 24 hours ? Is it ok to store the unfinished formula in fridge ? My little one does not finish 120 ml at once and I don’t want to throw the rest cause it’s expensive and only available at limited chemist warehouse.
It’s out of stock now and could not find anywhere and my little one is so good with this formula that I don’t want to change to other brands.

Hi Nisha,
If you are pre-preparing your formula, it can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Once your baby is ready for a feed, bring the bottle to a suitable and safe feeding temperature, shaking the bottle to make sure any hot spots are evened out and test on your wrist. If your baby doesn’t drink the entire bottle then you need to discard any unfinished feed.
We can also send you a list of stockists so in order to do so, just send us an email at hello@bellamysorganic.com.au and one of our staff will be able to assist you.
Kind regards,
Bellamy's Organic
