ALDI Mamia Gold

Not gentle on stomach – Started on this formula at 4 weeks after reading the reviews on here. At the start of introducing the formula it was ok but once she was on it full time she started getting runny green poo's and was always bloated. She never drank a full 120mls and went from sleeping 6 hours in a night to waking every 2 hours. We ended up changing to Oli brand… Read more

formula which from the first bottle you could see the difference..

This formula is also be discontinued.

Tummy trouble – Was not good on bubs digestive system. Used to cause loose stool in a few hours of drinking it . Maybe good for others but certainly bub was not happy with this one.  Show details

Can't fault it, except baby's poo smells a little more – We took the risk changing to this formula,as there was nothing wrong with the taste of Karricare,and his poo was pretty regular too. The only complaints were that he was throwing up heaps more and gassy.and I thought as much as he mixed feed, $20/3 or 4 weeks is expensive and just finding ways on where we can save. As we are using Aldi's… Read more

nappies and wipes,I have decided to change his formula to Aldi's too,after extensive research on how good the formula is. Obviously it works for most but not some,and I was praying that he'd like it, that it'll sit nicely in his tummy and no reflux nor much wind.

Trialled the first week with it and we have both decided that it works so good for his tummy. He wasn't throwing up milk as much. Not as gassy too as he wasn't farting a lot,was easy to be burped and for $12.99/can, I've stocked up and certainly doesn't feel like I'm breaking the bank.

I have also compared it to karri,and for the price I am paying, he is getting more nutrients and extra dha. I also added Probiotic on his first night bottle, which probably helps him not constipated. As o heard gold formula usually constipated baby.

The only downside is his poo stinks a little more than when he was on karri, which is such a small disadvantage.

My Little Toddler Loves this! – Being an informed mum, and comparing the nutritional panels on cows milk vs formula, I know formula companies make a lot of money on selling "Toddler Milks" but my take on this is that I would rather ensure my little one is getting enough vitamins through his milk rather than purchasing a separate multi vitamin or crossing my fingers and hoping he… Read more

gets enough vitamins and minerals from his meals (which are cooked but then reheated via microwave). I would NEVER purchase an S26 Toddler or full priced formula. Aldi is so damn cheap at $12 a tin! It's almost cheaper than cows milk...(I'm not sure I haven't done the math so quote me if I'm wrong). The whole "but formula has more protein than cows milk and that's not good for an infant diet" is rubbish. Look at the nutrition panels. The additional protein in formula is nominal...like 0.1g! MCHN need to get with the times! Stop rubbishing formulas and have a good hard look at the nutritional panels instead!

Cows milk is very void of nutrients due to its high processing and homogenisation. Yes so is formula being powdered....it's hard to know as parents what's best for our kids. I go through a tin a month as I use less than the recommended amount and my little one is content with that.

Good formula but not for my bub – After many months of researching formula we decided to use Aldi Mamia since the reviews were so good and it is Australia Made which is a plus. We put our newborn onto it as I was unable to breast feed. Seemed to be going great guns for a week until the Colicky Baby emerged. We thought it was maybe the bottles being used so changed from one to… Read more

another (Pigeon to Dr. Browns ) and it was the same. Crying in pain for up to 5 hours a night until the wind subsided leaving no sleep for this poor mumma . I also tried adding drops to the formula to counteract as everything else was fine she loved the taste it didnt foam and she had regular BM which i was happy with and gained weight well so all the ticks were there but the trapped wind was getting worse with every feed. I read that wind can be caused by excess lactose left undigested and after doing somr research and reading of the tin, lactose is the first ingredient on the tin therefore i made the decision to switch to a lactose free formula.

If it werent for the wind issue with my bub i woulf rate this 5 stars but unfortunately it didnt agree with us. Its a shame as it ticked all the boxes. Glad to hear it works well for other mummas though!

The best if your baby has reflux – Omg the best thing I have brought!!! This is my 3rd baby all my kids suffered from bad colic and reflux I have used every formula and I was referred from a baby dr to try it and I love it!!!!!!! It’s not even about how cheap it is! It’s help my unsettled baby and now his a dream!  Show details

Great product – My baby has had bad digestive issues and constipation since birth because of a premature stomach and bowel. This formula has helped with his digestion and also poo which we loved. Switched to this from Nan because he kept vomiting his feeds,which he has done a lot less to none now using this brand. Formula is easy to use and bubs loves drinking… Read more

it. I've used this product on two of my children and they both gained a lot of weight on this product. The scoops don't seem to use as much as the expensive products and my baby tolerates it well,and he was a prem baby too. Super cheap and baby friendly,I wouldn't use anything else. I trust this product completely. Baboes tolerate all formulas differently but both my bubs have tolerated this product really well.

Best formula .. my baby loves it – I started this formula when my baby was 1 week old... she tolerates it so well and loves it... i myself try it in the beginning To find out the taste and it tastes really good. Highly recommended Show details

Constipation is real! – So I’d heard really great things about this formula so switched from Nan supreme as the price difference is huge. At first it seemed great & he was still pooping everyday (but we were using both formulas as we were using the old one up). Now my baby cries more & poops less - he used to poo daily & so far it’s been 2 days without a poo & last time… Read more

he pooed it was a lot harder than usual!

Another huge difference with this formula is when you scoop it in the bottle, it all just sits on top of the water? The nan one sinks down into the water but this sits directly on top which I find strange.

He has also always been a great sleeper but on average he wakes up an hour earlier each morning so I’m guessing the Aldi formula doesn’t fill him for as long either.

Unfortunately, it’s not love for us & I wish it was. We will have to switch back.

Hit or Miss – As others have stated, the value of this formula is completely dependent on how your child tolerates it. Our first born absolutely loved this formula and had no issue with it whatsoever. Sadly, our second child could not tolerate it at all. The gas build up after each bottle caused 1 to 2 hours of writhing pain after each bottle that was very… Read more

hard to soothe. Poos changed from mustard yellow to bright green due to the high iron content. Switched formulas and the problem resolved immediately.

It's great value if your child can handle it, however my word of advice is to not waste any time and switch immediately if your child becomes uncomfortable after every bottle because the longer you leave it the worse it gets.

Worst – I have always liked aldi’s item but this milk formula that i have tried ended up my daughter into the emergency twice due to allergic reaction i have only given her about 50-60mls and ended up in the hospital. Show details

Parents with low weight down child – Hi lady's just wondering if there are any mum on here that uses this brand and that has used stage 2 and 3 what one would you say help with weight gain more thinking on going to stage 3 but if stage 2 help more with weight gain don't want to go up to stage 3 Show details

Fabulous standard formula! – Baby had no problems transitioning from breast milk, always available and can't go past the price. Both the 1 and 2 formulas are great for babies with no dietary issues. Show details

Perfect !! Winwin – So i started with belamys when my baby was 3 months but since it was too expensive i thought of switching to a cheaper option so went for mamia. Started by mixing it with balemys. my daughter is 7 months now and she loves mamia. Show details

Absolutely heinous – From what I've noticed in discussions in my mum's group this formula is either fantastic or horrible. Unfortunately for my son it did not agree with him at all and caused him a severe stomach upset with horrid diarrhoea. This and vomiting is not an uncommon reaction from the experiences I've been told. My son drank it fine and it was easy enough to prepare but his reaction made it undrinkable. Show details

If you want to save money, try this! – * my son tried APTIMAL GOLD and then switched to A2 Platinum, at $38 per tin I couldn’t keep going and the formulas above were making my son vomit more often so I tried mamia brand at 6m and never gone back to other brands as he digested Mamias brand well * no reactions, he enjoyed it * easy to prepare and he vomited less often Show details

Awesome! Affordable and baby loves it – Switched baby from bf/nan optipro straight to mamia gold 1 at 8months and haven't looked back. She loves it and so does our bank account. Used it ever since and she's nearly 11months. Show details

excellent formula so far switching from more expensive was easy without fuss or issues – Our baby likes the formula easy to digest and is not constipated. We switched from more expensive to find Aldi better overall plus the price is very low so far. 5 stars. Show details

Terrible Formula Gave my Son Constipation!! – I was using the stage 1 formula which was great, then put my son on the stage 2 got terrible constipation. I had a look at the ingredients and its contains very high iron which can cause constipation. So i thought i would try a different formula and within a day his constipation has gone now using Karicare has been great and a lot lower in Iron. Hope this can help anyone going through the same thing. Show details

Green poo, not easily digestive, vomit couple of times as well – Switch from Nan, terrible experience baby was uncomfortable all night and green poo, hard to digest as baby vomits even after burp. Baby loose some weight as well. No No to this product. Show details

Not bad – This formula isn’t terrible, especially for the price but my baby was quite windy on this so we have since switched to something else. Would recommend for babies who don’t have any digestion issues as my Bub seemed to enjoy the taste. Show details

My baby was not with this – My baby was not happy with this mamia , immediately gave our child very bad constipation. Couldnt sleep & pass poo.Moreover my son suddenly start screaming & it’s continued 2 hrs , so we need to admitted him to the hospital .Switched back again to Aptimal. Show details

Great – Such great formula for such a good price, toddler doesn’t eat a lot off food and prefers his milk so we gave this ago, helped his poo so much and keeps him fuller for longer. Show details

Perfect formula with a good price tag – We started our baby off on NAN - baby didnt seem too fussed but at $30 and the varied availability we changed to Mamia. Baby likes it and has had no side effects, it's only $13 and it's always in stock. Every baby is different but this product really works well for us Show details

Good except – My baby drinks it no problem, just as much as the step 1 mamia gold. He does not seem to have any side effect from it. The formula is easy to prepare. The only downside is that it has a strong metalic scent/flavour that you can't ignore. Show details

Brilliant for baby and my pocket! – We used this from day 1 with my son, he seems to enjoy it, no side effects to note. He did have some slight reflux as a newborn but we added aptamil thickener to the formula to avoid changing formula brand and he seemed better, by the time he was 4 months we stopped using thickener and he is just on aldi formula with no issues. No constipation or… Read more

gas ever. The formula is a great price and my baby enjoys it so win win! Easy to prepare and smells just fine, there is a little lip on the inside of the tin to level off the scoops which is handy, some brand tins don't do this. Overall would absolutely recommend to anyone. This formula is far cheaper than some other brands and is Australian made! So would say if going to formula feed try this first and if baby is happy then you've saved yourself a bundle! Winner winner!

Excellent formula!! – After two days of the Aldi formula my baby slept for 6 hours straight which was a first. He also went for longer between day feeds, it’s a creamy formula. Show details

One of Our Favorites – My toddler does not like cows milk, so I tried to give Mamia Gold 3. It has been good so far. We have been using it for almost 3 months now. No constipation. My toddler drank about 3-4 bottles a day on top of normal solids diet and water. The only thing is the scoop is bigger than our previous formula. Try to use a bigger bottle when preparing 4… Read more

scoops. I had 230 mls wide neck bottle and it just wont fit 200 mls of water plus 4 scoops of formula nicely. Overall, good product & very affordable price.

Perfect – Baby just seems to enjoy drinking this formula and diapers are good not constipated no side effects easy to prepare.tried different types of formula but this is just perfect thanks Show details

Ok but foamy – Like the formula i have used so many formula but only few worked for my baby this is one them which works well.it is easy to prepare but forms foam after mixing it makes baby uncomfortable and gassy Show details

Great product & low price – Great product and low price. Easy to prepare, baby enjoys drinking and digests well in his stomach. Very satisfied customer I will continue to buy and use until baby is weaned. Show details
