New Formula not good – My baby is 6 months old. Started him on nan comfort after 6 weeks old because nan supreme would upset him and give him dark green poo. Switched to nan comfort 1 and it was great. Sleep much better, no constipation. However have transitioned him onto nan comfort 2 with new formulation and it has been a disaster over the past couple weeks. He has… Read more

been more upset and frequently vomits up the milk multiple times a day. Have just changed formula to aptimal and these issues have disappeared. Won’t buy comfort again.

Formula Fail – My daughter has been on Nan comfort since she was 1 month old, so for the past 12 mths. Since the changes in formula recipe she has become extremely clingy, will have explosive diarrhoea after each bottle, resulting in horrendous nappy rash. The way the change over was handled was very poorly done, no warning about it. My daughter cries and groans… Read more

in her sleep after having a bottle , which is resulting in a lack of sleep for us all.

I’ll be changing formula’s.

Caused PPD & Turned my world upside down – My baby has been on this formula from day 5, and suited him perfectly. He was a great sleeper, and just the happiest baby. The “New and improve formula” I feel was not written big enough and I have missed the label. Causing a turn of a downward spiral. My baby has been on this formula for two months now. I started giving my baby solids at the same… Read more

time so I thought it was a food allergy that caused his pain. So I stopped feeding him solids as I was waiting for a paediatrician review. Then I thought maybe it was a lip/tongue tie. My baby developed REFLUX and was even on a PPI medication as he was waking up 15 times a night! I didn’t know that when you guys changed the packaging, you changed the ingredients. My poor darling has been suffering with your poison of a formula for two months!! These two months have been the darkest of times for me living with severe sleep deprivation, it’s affected my whole family and turned our household upside down! I’ve just found out about the “change of ingredients” and now I’ve changed his formula and for the first time in two mounts he hasn’t woken up screaming in pain for two-three hours straight! Highly do not recommend and am seriously worried for my babies digestive system now. I will never use nestle products again, and will make sure my family and friends don’t either! I will make my story publicly known!

Great middle range formula – Bub has been formula fed since about 4 weeks old. We have always given her NAN Comfort as we found it gentle on bubs tummy. We used it with the BioGaia probiotic drops and infants friend to assist with wind however, we could have probably not used it given the formula was so gentle. When we switched to stage 2, we did find bub’s poo to be a… Read more

different colour but within a few days it was back to normal. I think the different nutrients contributed to that. I would prefer for the scoops to be a little bigger so you’re using less formula per mls of water but it is what it is. It’s well priced compared to other formulas and is very regularly on sale at our local supermarket. Otherwise we purchase it from chemist warehouse as it’s the cheapest retailer when not on special. A tin usually lasts about a week, depending on how much bub drinks. We had no issue with bub taking this formula once I stopped breast feeding and I will continue with it if she prefers it to cows milk.

This is a fantastic formula – I breastfed my baby but also used formula. I started off with nan ha gold it was horrible made my baby so sick and very constipated and horrible smelling poos so gave her sma it was good constipation stopped but started spewing so put her on nan comfort it was awesome no more constipation or vomiting and just happy but I don't think she liked it… Read more

at all she would refuse feeds and only have 1-2 125mls a day and wouldn't even drink it all Mayby half a bottle everyone was saying maybe she is getting enough breastmilk but I was only really feeding her in the mornings and at night and would express during the day so I changed her to devondale and she was ok on it but I hated the scoops so back to nan comfort but she would still refuse it! But kept her on it cos I was still giving her breastmilk but when she hit 6 months I put her on nan comfort stage 2 and she was drinking it like no tomorrow and drinking way more she is 7 and a half months now and no more breastfeeding! but then one day they had none and so had to buy something else I found natures way kids smart I brought this formula thinking it was going to be really good she had a spew here and there nothing too bad but formula smell quite bad I can really smell the fish oil then She started getting really bad diarrhoea and getting rashes in her nappy area really bad so went back to nan comfort stage 2 and stocked up on it so I would always have it there and didn’t have to change formula again

So upset and frustrated, my poor 10month old has been so Unsettled – So upset and frustrated, my poor 10month old has been so Unsettled, The new recipe is terrible and reading all these other reviews is just heartbreaking. So many sick babies. My daughter has been on Nan comfort since birth and was really settled with your previous formula however since the change and transition, she has been so constipated, going… Read more

3-4 days without passing a stool, vomiting and total dislike for the bottle. Why fix something that was not broken? Paying more for this new formula now to make my baby sick is so upsetting.

Horrendous since the recipe change!! – The original NAN Comfort was great! Since changing the recipe, our 8 month old is completely unsettled and has been having the most disgusting explosive diarrhoea several times a day! She also lost so much interest in her feeds that we were lucky if she’d take half a bottle of the stuff. We have now switched to S-26 Original, which has thankfully… Read more

calmed her tummy. If you use this formula, ditch it.. and if you’re considering it for your baby, don’t! There is something seriously wrong with the ‘updated recipe’ and the product should be recalled! It’s absolutely horrendous. We will NEVER buy, nor recommend this product ever again!

New formula fail – My poor baby has had explosive diarrhoea numerous times after feeding a bottle of the new recipe. He is quite irritable from having to changing highly watery smelly poos. His skin is starting to break where these poor are touching throughout his nappy area. It was hard enough to get the formula in stores and then all we can get is the new recipe. … Read more

Never had an issue before this new recipe. There was no option to gradually introduce as his signs and symptoms were noticed straight away.

I hope you are prepared to refund my money.

Trash. New recipe is trash – My son is 10months old and has been on Nan con fort since 3 months old with no issues THEN they changed the recipe. And my son has been vomiting sporadically for the last 4 to 5 days. He’s has water poo for the last 3. One night he could not stop chucking and we went through 4 sets is sheets. I would recommend anyone using this formula to STOP and… Read more

anyone thinking of buying to NOT. I will never use this formula again. Why change something that’s not broken. My poor son has been through hell for the last week all because you want to save a buck.

New formula has had horrific impact on my perfectly happy and healthy baby – We transitions from breastmilk to nan comfort at 3 months with absolutely no side effects at all. I had a perfectly happy and healthy baby for the next 5 months who never ever vomited …. Until they changed the recipe! I found her in her cot soaked through with vomit (4 nights in a row), vomiting countless times a day, 6+ Dirty nappies a day and… Read more

red raw nappy rash and generally unsettled baby, then I connected the dots to the formula.

Very unhappy with the company for having no warning of the change before it happened, meaning we were not able to even attempt transiting slowly as recommended on the new tin due to widespread supply issues. I can’t believe how many babies are reacting so badly to the new recipe, why fix something that wasn’t broken???!!!!!

Research and development?...i dont think so..most likely cost saving drove this formula change – Used this for my son and just recently he started to not sleep well, was grumpy all the time and unsettled. I thought I'd google this formula to see and to my surprise i saw all the negative reviews on here due to formula change.What a shame. I have just gone to get a new brand of formula. No more nan. Show details

New recipe total fail – Very disappointed with the new recipe. My 9 month old baby was on NAN since 2 week old and it was perfectly tolerated. As soon as he tried the new recipe, he became very sick with runny poo every 15-30 minutes for several hours and he developed a severe rash. We introduced it gradually as recommended but he was getting sick every time he had some,… Read more

so we had to change brand and his tummy is recovering. And every baby I know, who was on this formula, had the same issues with the new recipe. One question: why did you change such a successful product to make it so bad? Anyway, NO MORE Nestle products for us and our family.

Terrible new formula, will never recommend – The old formula was great. The new and improved version has caused my daughter to break out in a rash all down her legs and arms. We have changed to karicare and the rash has cleared up within a day. Nestle dropping this change without warning has had a negative effect on many babies and they should be ashamed of the way they dropped this new formula. Will never buy a nestle product again Show details

Nestle has alot to answer to here – Unsurprisingly, our story is the same as all the others that have been recently written. My 10 month old son was on nan comfort since 6 days old and it suited him extremely well. Then the recipe was changed and it tipped our house upside down and created a sick baby and anxiety and stress for the rest of us. There was no chance for us to gradually… Read more

change over, even though it says to do this. Whoever is in charge of this rollout has failed. Whoever decided which ingredients are to be changed has also failed, hugely And the MOST telling part is that every single store I’ve been into has this product at a reduced price (after you audaciously raised the price) they can’t sell it because no one wants it. I have seen your responses, first of all don’t you dare send it to me. Secondly- read the room- it’s not a small amount of babies that are struggling with this. The damage that has been done is massive. We have changed formulas, but true damage has been done here and his poor tummy is still recovering. I genuinely fear what this might be doing to little babies digestive microbiome in the long run. We won’t be using any nestle products from here on out, because this is a brand that I just cannot trust anymore.

New formula doesn’t suit my baby – Changing the formula was a terrible thing. My daughter (8 months) was very comfortable with previous formula but new formula is hard on stomach. She is doing poo every 2-3 hrs and having severe rashes since I changed the formula. She is crying most of the time because of tummy aches. Her tummy feels hard all the time. Now I would have to start a new baby formula hunt which suits her. Not happy with nestle’s idea of changing formula!!! Show details

WHY Nestle?! – This ‘updated recipe’ has driven my house into chaos. My baby is SO unsettled, doesn’t sleep, vomits, HATES the bottle now after being perfectly fine on the original recipe.

I’m disappointed – Promising user of nan comfort from last 9 Months. My baby loved her feeds until recent when recipe was changed , baby has been having projectile vomiting each feed. What should I do now ? Look for an alternative ? But why ? You changed the recipe which is quite clearly not working in so many babies using nan comfort. Please do not respond me with the same response.  Show details

Change of recipe, terrible! – My little boy started on Nan back in January - no problems what so ever! Changed to the new recipe and have had nothing but issues. He had NEVER had a cold before, until now (11 months old) and he has been vomiting after every single bottle (sometimes projectile), his stools are green/grey and super mucusy and he just overall seems irritated after… Read more

feeding - between feeds he’s his normal self. Nothing else has changed in his food, environment or day-to-day life to warrant these (if it was just a cold then I wouldn’t have even considered the formula Being an issue). I suddenly thought to look and see if any one else had experienced issues with this change, and relieved to see I’m not alone! Definitely won’t be buying this again! Why change what is working well!

The new formula is terrible – My four year old was on comfort nan his whole life. Once I had my twins we started them with comfort as well. Until the change we absolutely loved it. However the new formula caused loose bowels, vomiting and babies refused to drink it. After going to drs and eliminating possibilities of gastro we realised it’s formula. We changed to old opti… Read more

pro everything stabilised then we had to buy new version and it smelled terrible. I was too scared to give it to the twins.

Would have been a 5 star rating before the change: terrible idea and poorly managed – We have loved this formula for our baby. However this unannounced (as it seemed) change was not only poorly managed allowing little opportunity to even transition, has also proven to result in an unsatisfactory product. I noticed changes to my baby including constipation and irritability, I did some reading and discovered soooooooo many parents… Read more

were saying the same about this change in formula. Nan comfort had such a wonderful reputation before for being gentle on tummies and loved by so many... why change it!? I vote the old formula be returned.
