Mumamoo Premium Infant Stage 1 Questions & Answers

I use Pigeon bottles and it’s been fine with all teats ☺️

Hi Stavi - and hello Madeleine - thank you so much for that helpful advice! We haven't had anyone come to us with this issue before, but my first suggestion was to suggest the Dr Browns anti-colic bottles. The wide-neck option is better suited to our scoops also. It's good to hear the Pigeon work well too. There might be a bit of trial and error involved, but you could also try a slower paced feed - stopping every 20-30 seconds the bottle is tipped downwards (creating a similar pattern as in breastfeeding) After a few seconds, tip the bottle up to allow milk to flow into the nipple again. Continue this “go-stop” method until the baby signals that it is full. I hope this helps - let us know how you go! Thanks for choosing mumamoo - we are so privileged to be part of your feeding story!

Hi Veronica, thanks for reaching out! As mothers ourselves we know how hard it is to see your little one in any discomfort. It is common to notice some changes in stools when transitioning between brands. Please keep an eye on your baby for any new symptoms and changes. Note any changes in poo, spitting up, comfort, how much they are eating or anything else you notice. It's important to call your GP or healthcare professional if there is any change at all you are worried about, and keep your notes handy as a paper record. How have you transitioned from the other brand to mumamoo? We always recommend a gradual transition (which can be anywhere from 10-14 days) as this will assist the digestive system as your little one adapts to the new formula. We also have a useful transition guide on our webpage which you may find helpful. external link  Let us know how you go! Very best with your feeding journey, Miriam @ mumamoo x

30 mls of water and 1 scoop of formula

Thank you sm

Thanks AZammit - we love our mumamoo community. xx

Hi 수호 박, thank you so much for reaching out - as AZammit has so kindly shared - always measure the water and then add the formula. The change in volume is water displacement (a bit like when you hop in the bath and the water level goes up), but the nutritional value is measured from the first measurement (in this case, the 30ml), so it's super important to always measure the water first, then add the formula powder. Please let us know if you have any more questions! Love, team mumamoo x

Hi Caitlin, I think there are a few reviews on parents that have tried with success, however it's important to note that we aren't a reflux specialty formula, so you may want to check with your GP to see if we are suitable. Here are some reviews that mention reflux: https://www.productreview.com.au/reviews/758e434d-428c-544c-b034-8a3a25d9689d https://www.productreview.com.au/reviews/b8758a42-6709-4128-9abf-45034cf55b1c https://www.productreview.com.au/reviews/e278c63c-4baf-5458-a61b-94e6cb4313f5 Please let me know if I can help further at hello@mumamoo.com.au Best of luck!

Hi Caitlin, did you end up making the switch and saw a difference?

Hi Olivia, our oil blend is used to mimic the fatty acids profile in breast milk. The mumamoo oil blend: is Soy, High Oleic Sunflower, Palm & Coconut. You can read a further breakdown of why these have been chosen by our scientific paediatric nutritionists here: external link  Please reach out to hello@mumamoo.com.au if I can assist with anything further! xMiriam

What about the studies that show that in infant formulas Palm oil leads to a lower fat, DHA, palmitate and calcium absorption, and bone mineralization; soft stools; and growth (weight accretion) compared to formulas without PO/POL. Physiological Impact of Palm Olein or Palm Oil in Infant Formulas: A Review of Clinical Evidence Nutrients; Basel Vol. 12, Iss. 12, (2020): 3676 as an example study there are more

Hi Hisham, Thank you for adding to the conversation - it’s great we have so many proactive parents wanting the best for their babies! Our formulation was based on experts in nutritional science to provide optimum nutrition and a complete replacement for breastmilk. As you suggest, I’m sure there is more data to support your belief around the use of Palm Oil, as is there is also data to support the safe use of it in infant formula. The reason so many formulas include it in their formulation is because it is the closest ingredient to achieve palmitic acid (PA) levels similar to those in human breastmilk which accounts for approximately a quarter of the fatty acid content of breastmilk. For your info (which you may already know!) all infant formulas, whether plant based or milk based, will have fat blends of vegetable oils to provide essential fatty acids to your baby, much like human breastmilk. mumamoo is made with ingredients that can provide a similar composition of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals. This fat functions as an energy source and also helps with the absorption of vitamins and minerals. Palm oil is one of the few vegetable oils that's naturally rich in saturated fat. Most other vegetable oils are rich in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Sustainability is core to our strategy and we only use palm oil from sustainable sources. Our supplier is a member of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), a non-profit organisation set up by World Wildlife Fund (WWF) to promote the growth and use of sustainable palm oil products. All palm products must publicly commit to “No Deforestation, No Peatland Development, and No Exploitation” and have business processes in place to meet this strict level of compliance. mumamoo also contains DHA’s, prebiotics & probiotics and is formulated to strict FSANZ standards for your peace of mind. Please feel free to reach out to me on miriam@mumamoo.com.au if you have further queries, we are more than happy to help!

Hi Chezade, thank you for reaching out & thinking of mumamoo. At this point we don’t have a lactose free product offering, but it is something we would like to investigate in the future. Very best with your feeding journey and finding the right fit! Please feel free to reach out to me at hello@mumamoo.com.au if we can help further. Thanks, xMiriam

Hi Charisma, thanks for reaching out and we are sorry to hear your son is constipated - it’s hard when they’re in pain and you feel helpless. We recommend transitioning gently at all times as babies tummies are sensitive to change and this could cause further upset. Our transition guide can be found here: external link . We do recommend checking in with your Paed so they can rule out any other issues he might be having as well and they can help guide you through the transition. If you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to reach us on hello@mumamoo.com.au or 1800 mumamoo Good luck with your feeding journey - you are doing a great job! Love, team mumamoo x
