Amazing for babies – Best for babies as a backup for Bfeeding who had a slight cows milk intolerance. For infants at high risk of allergy or confirmed mild to moderate cows milk and/ or soy protein allergy. I went through about 4 formulas till I found Karicare soy and it is great. I found Karicare even smelt better! thinner and was heaps better for constipation Recommended by most pediatrician. Show details

Love it – I was very excited to try KARICARE Goat Milk Stage 3. I really like that it supports Immune system, growth and development in toddlers.So we found Karicare Goat formula gentle on the tummy and easier on digestion. I’m glad she didn’t refuse to drink and was quiet happy with the taste. No allergy reaction, no bloating, no other side affects. I… Read more

believe the protein in goats milk is smaller and easier for toddlers to digest. It's a bit more $$ than regular formula, but it's well worth it. And I tell my friends/family thar goat milk is different from cow, we can digest it much easier, and it is the same for babies. The powder do not have the strong smell light normal goat product, it just smell nearly the same like cow milk. Karicare goatmilk is so beneficial for the Toddler’s cognitive development. The formula is very easy to prepare and easy to dissolve. My daughter like the taste so I’m really relaxed. Karicare toddler Goat's milk stage 3 is a safe alternative to cow's milk. It would be a good choice if a toddler is allergic to cow's milk. It says that there are 16 vitamins and minerals so Im definitely liking it for my daughter. I didn’t notice any constipation, digestion or taste issues. She was happy and active so thumbs up from a happy Mummy.

My baby has no reaction to this formula – I decided to give my bub formula and I heard many benefits on goat formula so I tried Bubs brand to start with. My bub threw up everything he had straight after so I bought Oli6 and nope didn't work on him. I tried Karicare goat and oh my gosh, he did not puke everything out. When he burped, he spewed a little bit but not like the other two… Read more

brands. I was pretty happy with the difference I could see with Karicare and since then, I am only buying this formula. I don't know if my bub likes this one or not because he just loves everything that goes into his mouth. He never refused to drink Bubs and Oli6. I also like this formula the fact that it does not have particular smell when I open the tin. No side effects such as rashes, puking or constipation and very easy to prepare. Dissolves well, easy measuring, and overall, my baby drinks well. I am very pleased with this product. I will be moving onto stage 2 soon and I hope it still works for him.

Karicare Goat Formula – Due to my baby wanting more to drink than my supply i knew i needed a formula to help with top ups. Fed is best. After trying a few normal formulas and bub not holding them down, i read some reviews on Karicares goat formula and decided to give it a go. The smell of the formula itself is not sickening and if bub does vomit a little it doesn't… Read more

stink the whole house out like the other formulas i tried. The mix is also a lot whiter and smoother. You have a scoop for every 50mls of water and my bub is up to 3 scoops so 150ml, i have found he keeps it down better if i have 160ml water.

Of course babies will have days where they are a bit spewier than others but i find with this formula it is more just spit ups than actual full on vomit. It doesn't seem to hurt his belly and i found he did not get constipated at all from this product which is another great bonus as i had a very sick constipated little boy with other ones.

I shake it up really well and don't seem to have a problem. It is a bit more expensive but so far it has been worth the few extra dollars. I will not be changing formulas anytime soon :)

Best choice when I wasn't able to feed past 4.5 months – BM devotee here who through a multitude of issues was no longer able to feed my 3rd baby BM past 4.5 months. Gentle on her tummy, good ingredients and kept her happy as lomg as she was bottle fed. Thank you for providing such a good quality product. Show details

Perfect ! Great on little tummies – This is by far the best baby formula for our child. Its gentle and keeps him full. Used in conjunction with bm. A bit expensive and sometimes hard to find but overall very good. Show details

Good formula if your baby can't handle cow's milk – I was attracted to Karicare Goat's milk formula since bubs wasn't handling cow's milk well. It had minimal ingredients and baby liked the taste. Only downside is that it can have a tendency towards constipating baby. Show details ·  1

Made our baby constipated – Switched from karicare cows milk formula to goats milk as my 5 month old was showing signs of allergies. He’s since become very constipated. We’ve tried to “ride it out” with digestive aids (coloxal) to see if it was just the adjustment but couldn’t bear to see him in so much pain. Our happy boy became so uncomfortable and pooping really hurt him.… Read more

We had a similar experience with him when we tried the cheaper SMA formula we were given by a friend which has a harder to digest casein protein. Very saddened by this, as it’s been an expensive and distressing trial of the karicare goats milk formula. I can see other parents have had similar issues.

Constipation, includes cows milk – Our baby hated this formula, terrible constipation and stomach issues, also this is false advertising as it has cows milk in the recipe, very poor product. I'm switching to a better brand.

Miss Leading and False Advertising! – It was recommended that our precious boy has goats milk vs cow due to the protein in goats milk being easier broken down. Unfortunately after putting our trust in this product I was extremely disappointed to find out that they still put cows milk in this product and then advertise it as goats milk! Read the ingredients list and my recommendation… Read more

is buy and support the other brands that do not mislead there valuable customers with there most important newest family members. I will never use another one of your products again in my life and will ensure that I share my story with as many Mum and Dads. Disgusted

There's a reason the Chinese want it – I had issues with breastfeeding because of stress so I couldn't increase my supply, my little one started not putting on enough weight. Ended up moving her onto this formula because I've always known goat milk is best and my little one started putting on weight really well again. So happy with this formula just wish it was easier to find. But there's a reason the Chinese want it. Show details

Only formula baby likes – My baby has a suspected CMPI but does well on this formula. Gentle on her tummy and bub seems very satisfied with it. Easy to mix with no clumps unlike some formulas. Doesn’t taste too bad either haha. Show details

It is perfect for a picky baby – It is said that goat milk powder helps the baby to better digest and absorb nutrients and enhance the baby's resistance. Another advantage of goat milk powder is that goat milk powder is not easy to cause allergic reactions in the baby, because goat milk can relieve allergies caused by most milk proteins. Therefore, for a picky eater baby, this is… Read more

a very good choice, and there is no particularly obvious taste after the milk powder is brewed, the baby likes to drink.

So far so good – I really didn't want to use formula to feed my bub but wasn't making enough milk so I wanted to at least get something that would be good for my baby. So far bubs doesn't mind it. He definitely prefers my breastmilk over it but he doesn't reject it. I wanted to make sure it was going to be gentle on his developing belly so went with goat over… Read more

cows milk. He looks happy and full and generally falls straight asleep.

The formula is really easy to prepare but I would assume other formulas would be as easy. Just water, formula and shake.

I don't know if I will purchase it again yet as I'm hoping my milk increases.

Really impressive – My son really love this karicare goat milk 3. He used to refuse to drink other brand's baby formula. After i changed to this one, he really loved it. It was good opportunity to give a try of your baby refuse to drink baby formula. It also not too sweet.

Gentle formula on baby’s tummy – My baby had a milk protein allergy and was breaking out in spots all around her face after having a number of different cows milk formula around 3.5months. We opted for another animal milk formula rather than rice or soy because we figured a baby goat is closer in size to a baby than a baby is to a calf so the milk might be more suited to a… Read more

smaller and more sensitive stomach of a baby. This worked really well, didn’t constipate bub, easy to mix and wash the bottles once they were empty. It also stopped the projectile vomiting and the grunting sounds of a baby with an upset tummy. Highly recommend trying it if experiencing something similar. It is expensive but worth it. After 5months we tried cows milk formula again but it didn’t work for Bub again so we are back on the Karicare Goat milk formula .

A good substitute for breast milk – The baby did not have mother's milk for six months, found a lot of milk powder, the baby did not like, listening to friends introduced that this brand of milk powder is very good, with a try of the mood to try, as expected the baby is very like, looked at the baby plump plump drinking milk powder, don't mention how happy heart!

Taste good – It has been a lot of taste, but that more the drink is, I had tried it in a little while, and it was a faint, unfishy smell, and I liked it, and the baby had a good digestion and a lot of it, and it would continue to pay attention to it.

Easy to dissolve! – The powder is very delicate and delicate, not as sweet and fragrant as imagined, feel very acceptable, the baby likes to drink, in addition, the milk powder is better to flushes,I usually give the baby three spoonfuls of milk powder mixed with 50 ml of 70 to 80 degrees of water, shake a few times to dissolve, very good.

expensive – the goat is different from cow, their milk are easier to digest compare to cow milk. this baby formula does not have that strange smell we normally found on lamb or goat. but the only issue, is that this one is by far more expensive then others on the market.

Excellent formula – Its perfect formula for a baby even though its on a pricy side. I only give it to baby a few times a day to supplement breastfeeding and havent had any issues with it. Baby's tummy was happy, no constipation etc. The only problem, it always gets sold out quickly so have to be buying in advance.

OK but maybe not for my bubz – Easy to prep, tastes fine my lil one couldn't keep it down and slept less during night so nit sure if she was getting full or not due to me changing her from nuture stage 1 to this one. Was exited to try though as she developed a rash on chin from the other milk and I heard this was good for diff skin types.

I love it – It's easy to prepare and my baby loves it. I changed it once and she got straight away bellypain... karicare goatmilk is so good for the babys and taste good too. But you have to be aware that just woolworth is having that special milk in my area which is a bit annoing because if they run out we mum's sit at home with no milk

Great taste, but not for my bub – This formula tastes the best from all the other ones we've tried (yes, I taste my bub's formulas before I give it to her..) and bub loves it (drank more than usual) but it made her constipated so we changed. It's also quite expensive but not more than other premium brands.  Show reply

Finally found the right one – We have tried 4 different formulas before we started karicare Goat. She had reflux and trouble with constipation. After a week on the goat formula her constipation had subsided and she became regular and the reflux improved so much. Definitely the right formula for her, very glad we gave it a go.

Easy to dissolve – The formula is very easy to prepare and easy to dissolve compare to other goat milk. My daughter like the taste. After my daughter change her formula to Karicare, her has more poo then before and seems to had more breakfast after she had the formula after she waits up( she is a fuzzy eater)

Good for baby – I believe goat milk works better for baby to absorb. Also there are different nutrition to some extend that different from cow milk formula. I use it as a supplement as well as Karicare gold+ formula. My boy does not against to the flavour. The only problem is very hard to buy from supermarket.
