Nestle NAN H.A. 2 Gold

Great! Welcome Change! – I had my 8 month on Bellamy's. I exclusively breastfed for 4 months then mixed fed for two and now she is on forumla full-time. Since birth she has always had a problem with passing wind and has just generally seemed out of sorts, poor sleeps and stools have varied. After a treatment of anitbiotics, and on impulse in the supermarket, I bought… Read more

this product due to the pro-biotic content. I noticed changes over the period of a week. Her stool is now what I consider a normal dark green forumla colour, consistently. She drinks nearly all of the bottle whereas before she would often leave anywhere from 50-100mls. She is the happiest I've seen her and she is sleeping the best she ever has. We even got a full-night! All this in just a week. This is my second child. The first was a dream and never had any digestive issues, ate and drank everything, but it's been different with the number 2. I never would have bought this formula had I seen these reviews first so I'm very glad I didn't. It's worth giving it a go. I'm convinced this is the right formula for our baby. Mixes easily. baby likes it. 30ml scoop leads to less guess work! Only con really is that the scoop is small so have to make sure you keep count.

My son loves it very Happy – After reading reviews I was skeptical about trying it, but after trying so many formulas and giving up on trying to mix feed him for a while because of him absolutely refusing to drink them we started to try introduce formula again at 8 months. After doing research due to his confirmed dairy allergy at 6 months of age, I found out that he was… Read more

lucky ebough to be ok with milk protiens in baked products because the proteins get broken down more due to the heat. For this reason it convinced us to try h.a formula because h.a formulas protiens are partially hydrolised making them easier to digest. Anyway we tried nan h.a. 2 and he didnt flat out refuse and gradually worked his way up to 210ml per night. He has just turned 1 & have changed to the nan h.a 3 tonight and he loves that even more. He drank it so fast with no fussing whatsoever. So thrilled. If you read the tins it does say they can change their poos I only found them to be slightly softer. All in all a happy baby and happy parents. Note not all people suffering from dairy allergies can tolerate ha formula check with your ownhhealth professional first. easily digested, bub like taste, 30ml per scoop =less wastage could dissolve better in cold water need to shake lots

Shocking impact of terrible formula change – Father of 3 children all raised on formula through necessity - consistent user of Nan HA Gold 1 & 2. 3rd child now 10 1/2 months. Made the switch from the old Nan HA 2 Gold to the new Nan HA 2 Gold 800Mg a few weeks ago (as all outlets ran out of old formula and restocked their shelves - we held out as long as possible) and have had problematic… Read more

issues ever since. Caused bad diarrhoea daily, major nappy rash as a result, general unhappiness, & consitent vomiting. Little guy not happy.

Stopped all solids to test whether it was purely the formula and all symptoms have continued for 2 weeks!

We will be switching brands and formulas away from Nestle and will actively advocate to my community to avoid this product as there is clearly an issue based on our experience and the weight of parental feedback on forums such as this.

They have ruined our trust in the brand and put the health of our son at risk.

Caused vomiting, Caused bad diarrhoea

Best for my baby – The formula is super easy to prepare and comes with a scoop that can levelled off on a ridge inside the tin. We tried different formulas but this was the one I found met her needs and agreed with her. No side effects other than she loves her bottles! Maybe too mcuh!

It is very good for my baby – We used Nan HA Gold 1 since my baby born, when my baby turned to 6 months old, we went to Nan HA Gold 2. There is no any issues to feed my baby with this formal. My baby loves her bottle. And we going to use Nan HA Gold 3 in the future.

Different formula suits different babies, have to try to find the right one – I write this review, hope it will help other parents find the right formula for their babies. I have read a lot reviews about formula products, all help me choose the right one for our baby. Our baby had Nan HA Gold stage 1, it was perfect. Although the poo was stinky and dark green, but it was regular, once a day, without difficulty. He… Read more

slept well too. No problem at all.

However, since the Stage 2 started, he had a lot of farts at night. I thought it was wind from the bottle, so purped him more, bought three sets of new teats. However it did not change.

There were some nights he just woke up, got up and cried. Even when I was holding him, he was in sound sleep, still suddenly woke up, cried or kicked his legs. (seem to have pain in his tummy or lower tummy). Huge amount of farts during night. So woke up so many times. bad nights, once every two hours. I thought it was the solid, so stopped solid for some weeks, it did not change. It went on for over 6 or 7 weeks. Doctor suggested to change the formula. On Karicare soy formula now. The doctor thinks it might be lactose intolerance. I have sent the poo sample for check.

I had 240 ml Nan HA gold stage two, at night my tummy rummbled a lot too, farts, and feeling like to go to the loo before morning.

After just two days on Karicare soy formula, he is much better now. His tummy was quiet, did not have so many farts, did not woke up because of tummy pain.

I would not say which formula is good or bad, however different formula suits different babies. So parents need to find the right one that is good for their baby. I never thought it could be the formula since he was so good with stage 1. However I did hear a lot of people saying the stage 2 is just terrible. I think it has been proved that stage 2 does not suit our baby. Happy that we have changed. Wish we had done this earlier, our baby would not suffer so much and would have had good sleeps.

Very impressed with Karicare staff writing feedback on the website, good reflection on their company's attitude.

One brand suits a baby, it does not mean all the formula of that brand suits the baby.

Inconvenient preparation – After using Nan HA Gold 1, we went to Nan HA Gold 2 when our son was 6 months old. Only to find every time we made a bottle it would never dissolve properly and would have glue like lumps in it. I called Nestle and asked why and was told all their formula needs to be dissolved in water 37-40degrees. When I asked why we never had this issue with 1… Read more

they couldn't answer me. Our son has never had a warm bottle. Ways at room temperature of 20-24 degrees. Very disappointed care line was anything but helpful will be finding a new formula ASAP and not recommending Nestle!

nan ha gold – my bubba been on NAN HA Gold 1 since birth shes nearly 5 months havent had any problems ill be placing her on the follow on tin 2 after she hits 6 months i hope she likes it though cos i heard some babies didnt like the taste of the follow on tin number 2 but each to there own we will see later on yeah

The best choice for our son – Hi, Every baby is different but our son loves nan ha. We tried s26 when weening him off breastmilk and he vomited all of it from his mouth and nose. Nan ha is gentle on his stomach and I like the fact that they actually know that premixing formula is a bad thing like s26 lets you do that. This will just get bacteria growing in it as you heat or… Read more

reheat milk. Anyway my baby had a fantastic transition and is on ha 3 now, a very happy and healthy bub.

Terrible – After breast feeding for 8.5mths I decided to wean and try NAN HA 2 gold as this is what we used to sub feed in hospital worse decision gave him dark green/black runny, smelly poo which in turn gave him awful nappy rash. Would not recommend

Terrible - wish I looked up the reviews before switching – Bub was on Nan Pro 1 and we went up to HA 2 Gold after six months and I thought it would be fine (being the same company). However, the formula was harder to dissolve and we had the horrible sticky green poo, constipation, unsettledness, waking through the night, rashes, reflux. Reading the facebook page to recall the formula, where other parents… Read more

had similar and worse reactions was definitely informative. Thankfully Coles agreed to refund the extra tins that I had bought.

Update: Rang Nestle to complain and they said different babies react differently and didn't seem that concerned about it. A friend's newborn baby was on this formula for 7 weeks, before they saw all the same signs and they quickly switched, even though I told them about the issue at 4 weeks.

Similar horrible reactions like other parents - constipation, green sticky poo, unsettledness, reflux, rashes

Good formula – I used Nan HA Gold 1 & 2 for my first baby. She liked it and had no digestion issues with it. It's reasonably priced and I like the tin and hygienic spoon rest. It mixes well with hot water, but often became lumpy when mixed with cold water. This was quite annoying as I liked to use cold boiled water then heat it in the bottle warmer. No digestion issues Lumpy when mixed with cold water

No issues – We have been using this for about 1 month now after I stopped breastfeeding. It mixes really well and we are quite happy with it. Nestle products generally are good so I was surprised by some of the reviews but again I have had no issues with this. I actually reallt like the separate scoop. scoop, good mixing

Love it – I have twins girls who were born very early, the hospital put them on Nan ha 1 so we carried on using it. We have had no problems they girls are very happy. I weened them onto the Ha 2 over a period of 2 weeks and had no problems. The girls seem to love it and they are very happy and settled babies. If asked I will recommend to other… Read more

mothers. Also I have quite severe eczema so I was worried that this product might cause something similar with my babies but the girls have no skin problems.

Completely happy with this product. Girls are happy, no skin irritations, no upset tummies.

New formula rip off – The formula itself is pretty good, I didn't find any problems with the change of formulation but the 'new scoop' takes away 100g and they got rid of the flat side of the tin so you can't get a good scoop. Don't know why they messed with a perfectly good product, but it's still usable. My baby drinks it cutting out 100g, getting rid of flat side of tin

Not impressed really – Changed to this formula at 6 months from s-26, which made my son constantly constipated. My son had the worst smelly green, slimy poo ever, I was embarresed to change him in public parents' rooms. Changed to Karicare Gold 2, after reading all the negative reviews and visiting the facebook website. I do remember something about this formula in the media last year. Glad I changed, my son is so so so happy on Karicare. Bad poo, bad scoop

Atrocious swap from NAN HA 1 Gold to 2 – Within half a day of changing my 6 month old's formula from 1 (original formulation) to 2 (new, "improved" formulation) I was dealing with a completely different child - putrid green runny diahorrea, a constantly waking as opposed to typically happily dozing baby, and screaming in pain from wind. Thanks Nestle for your new improved formula, you… Read more

have ruined my trust in your brand, developed over 12 months of formula feeding my first child on the old formulation of NAN. Either bring that back, or risk losing more previously satisfied customers.

Made my child sick

Terrible! – My bub has been on NAN HA Gold since he was 1 month old. Everything was going well.At 6 months,he started having solids/teething. So We ran out of the old formula and bought the new and improved can. He seemed perfectly fine then his eczema started to worsen.Poo was all green and smelly.At first, I thought the skin was related to the weather… Read more

change and poos were from solids and maybe teething.

Then I read the reviews and decided to change to a different brand.s26 Gold. Lo and behold, skin got better and his poo now isn't foul smelling. I will never buy this product again! !!

The sad thing though is that I still have 2 unopened cans. I can't return it to the merchant as i don't have the receipt anymore.:(

Expensive! Bad quality

Nan ha 2 gold – I can't believe what I am reading. my son has been on nan ha from 6 weeks old and was extremely satisfied sleeping through the night once he got a little older. However, as soon as he started nan ha 2 800g he no longer slept through the night, although he hasn't got a rash from this formula but did go off his food and still sometimes doesnt eat alot. Just thought he was teething. Will definitely change formula!! Not satisfying my baby

NAN HA Gold Formula, not happy – I started my baby on the old recipe when she was a week old. When that formula ran out my husband went out and bought another tin, but he bought the new 'improved' formula, he couldn't find the old one. My baby started pooing after every feed,7-10 times a day. I was extremely worried. She started to develop a pimple like rash on her once clear… Read more

skin about a week after I started feeding her this formula. When I saw what was going on I immediately stopped using the formula. The rash cooled down a week or so later but she still has some of the rash on her neck and she is now 3 months old. Does anyone have any experiences with this face rash, and if so, what did you use for your baby's face?

I have tried some creams but they seem to just cool it down for the time being and the rash starts up again the next morning.

I will not using this formula again.

It made my baby sick and gave her a bad rash.

Made my healthy happy baby unwell – We had been using NAN HA since bubs was 4 months old. After using the new 800g tins, she developed a red rash on her face, dehydration and increased thirst, frequent night waking and general irritability. I didn't make the connection until I saw the news reports on tv. I switched to another brand and within 24hrs she was back to her normal… Read more

self. There is something wrong with this formula - do not use it! Love the old version Everything in the new version

Not happy Nestle! – My son (8months) has been on this formula since birth, we chose Nan Gold as i used it for my oldest son (now 4).My youngest son was going great with no problems feeding (loves his bottle and food) was a extremely happy baby and had no health issues. I purchased a few tins as i normally do and i noticed they were 800g tins, not only are they now… Read more

smaller but they are still retailing for the same price...

After the first bottle i noticed my son's health started to deteriorate, he would fuss at the bottle, was very windy, unsettled and even had burns on his bottom. His poo had changed from being thick solid poo to runny, dark green, smelling to high heaven and i was constantly changing him, 6+ poos a day... I then noticed his face having a rash. He was very clingly, wouldnt sleep more than 2hours (and he was sleeping through the night). I didnt become aware that hundreds of other parents had complained until my nana rang me (i dont have "normal" tv and didnt see the news report).

I reseached a bit more and found every baby and toddler on this "new and improved" formula had the exact same problems. When many have complained to a Nestle rep they have been told it's nothing to do with the formula and it has been deemed "safe". Now what you have to ask is well if that is the case why are so many of our babies sick?

I changed my formula to Karicare Aptimal gold and since then my son's health has improved. I have left my details with Nestle to speak to a rep but i havent had a call back (5days) ive been told by other parents they left messages a month ago and only have recently been contacted. Shame on you Nestle, where is your customer care/service?

I feel this should be recalled, t is currently under investigation and im worried about the long term effects it has done to my son, A refund is just not good enough, not only have our children suffered we have also had to endure a horrible time. Do not buy this formula!

Bad customer service, my son was very sick.

Shame Nestlé shame! – I used to love this formula and would recommend it to anyone but since the 'new improved formula' came out never again. My 6 month old is constipated and his nappies are just dreadful. I can no longer source old tins and am desperate to find a substitute to Nan HA 2. Constipation and really stinky green nappies

Why fix something that's not broken? – I love the new spoon storage idea, but would take back the old spoon anytime if we can get the old formula back! The new one is all frothy when you shake it and whenever my girl pooh it's black and runny and she's got this rash on her lips. She stopped sleeping through (waking every 2hrs) after I gave her the new formula... that's almost 3weeks… Read more

and 3 tins of new formula!

Found an old formula tin and after just one bottle last night she slept through!

I thought maybe it's just me who's got a problem...but just saw now that heaps of people are complaining about it - why fix something if it's not broken? The storage of the spoon The formula.....everything is wrong with it

Terrible reaction – My son is 18 months old and has been using this formula for months, never had a reaction to Anything. We have just had numerous visits to emergency and doctors for a severe allergic reaction that we now suspect is from the "new" formula. We wonder what has been added to the new recipe!

Now I feel like a horrible mum! – My baby's father has eczema. I did everything during the pregnancy and after to hopefully prevent this in my daughter. She suffered colic so was on Novalac Colic for 6 months. I wanted to be able to get her formula in a local supermarket rather than chemist so I decided to change her to Nan HA 2 Gold. That week, she broke out in eczema! I… Read more

have thought all this time that it was just coincidence, maybe solids, ??? etc etc but never did I suspect that it could be the direct result of the formula change until I saw the news item on a TV show this morning!!! Did I cause this by switching the formula?! Just a coincidence? After reading all these reviews regarding the onset of eczema, I think not! I feel terrible :(

All this time I've wondered what it was that triggered her eczema. I think i've got my answer!

Bad not good at all – My bub was born last year nov 11, we tried S26 and then NAN H.A. Gold and it was terrible, we had been to the dr many times and he said him being constipated and then the runs was normal, the dark dark green stool was normal etc, the wind, the tummy pains was apparently all normal. As soon as we switched bubba was fine. It is expensive junk (the new "improved" formula anyway) Everything is wrong, i would never use it again.

What's going on?? Do Not Buy!!! – I have used Nan with all 3 of my other kids (oldest is 8), Yes a little most pricey compared to others BUT never ever! had a problem, even recommend to friends that were having problems with the formula they were using. With my 10mth old, again back to my trusted Nan - have been using Nan from birth both Nan H.A Gold 1 & 2 - now with the change… Read more

in formula She has the worse runny stools I have ever seen that are basically water, you can smell her before you see her also the worst nappy rash and has gone off her solids. At first I put it down to teething and a change in nappy brand - teeth are through and nappies back to normal but still baby is not.

After changing formula within the week stools are back to normal and Now eating well.

Come Nestle, What's going on???? You use to be the only formula I would trust with my babies!!!!

Terrible runny very smelly dark green stools

Will never use again, shame on Nestlé – OMG we had the exact same experience as detailed below. We were very happily using NAN HA Gold 1 for months.... Loved it, even recommended it to others. Then switched to the new formula in the HA 2 and had all of the same symptoms as described in other reviews... We had our son sleeping through the night after sleep training and then for the last… Read more

6 weeks wild screams of pain in the middle of the night. Our 8 mth old developed really mad wind and stomach aches, when we picked him up from his cot he would find some relief but would take ages, hrs to get him back down... Changed stool, bottle refusals, reflux.... Arrrggghhh we thought it was teeth and increasing the amount of solids that his little belly was still getting used to.... Never did we question the formula. I feel enough guilt from not being able to breast feed successfully and now I find the formula I trusted to feed my son was actually making him sick! When I realized after reading the news artile last week, we switched formula and he's been thankfully much better and sleeping through again too. I called Nestlé and gave them a piece of my mind, they tried to sell me on the bloody convenient spoon, can you believe that??! They will loose millions of dollars over this and they deserve to, how dare they make a formula change that make our precious sick! We used to love the OLD formula, like absolutely nothing about the new formula Everything is wrong, if it makes your baby sick.

Will never buy this product again – My 6 month old son has been on the nan ha gold 1 from birth, i switched him to the nan ha gold 2 and have nothing but problems with him since, he has become very irritable, constipated... i have been trying for over a month to get my happy little man back but nothing i have tried has worked,,, i honestly didnt think it was the formula, so i have… Read more

been giving it to him.. i just thought he was teething.. but now im going to change his formula and not recommend this formula to neone.

Stay well clear..... Be warned – A few days after starting the new formula when I finished the old one I had my 7 month old got a terrible red, itchy, rash including lips and mouth, bleeding lips. Needed steroid cream. Very Runny stools needing change of clothes with each motion. Was Very unsettled. Only clicked it was the formula after watching it on the news.

Shame on Nestle' Disgusting product! – If I could score a negative I would. Both children, but more so my 7 month old daughter suffered from all the same symptoms as the other reviews. Since switching to the cheaper more humble Heinz Nurture Gold series, all ezcma has cleared, appetites are great and poos are back to normal, sleeping beautifully with no more windy nights. What was the… Read more

so called "testing" that Nestle did? Don't these people have babies of their own. And if so, they probably don't use the "improved" Nestle products they are so bad. Babies are not to be messed with. They easily become dehydrated and therefore sick. Nestle should beware the angry parents out there.

caused watery black/green poos, scaley blotchy skin on face and rash on body, baby not happy until switched formula

Nestlé, what are you hiding? – 6 month young little man happy as can be on NAN H.A. Gold infant from birth formula. He has been on this formula since 1 month old without a problem. Tried both the 'New' 'infant' and 'from 6 months' formulae. BOTH caused diarrhea, VERY unsettled and VERY bad eczema. Nestlé's website assures us that nothing is wrong with these products. Listen to… Read more

what your customers are saying Nestlé. These products are not sustainably marketable in their current form. What has changed that you're not informing the public about. If you're a new parent, DO NOT chance anything with these formulae. It WAS excellent. Now it's like poison! Nestlé need to be held accountable and recall the product nation wide.

Terrible, do not buy – I have always used nan with my children, but since they have changed the formula it is terrible. At first I thought my son was teething, but then I saw the reviews, as soon as I changed formula from nan to karricare he became more settled, poos normal again and his skin is better. They should be recalling this product, regardless of lab tests, it is obviously unsettling babies. My my son unsettled, should be recalled

NAn h.a 1 Gold – Caused terrible bloating and the most horrid grey green stools. little one became very restless due to stomach pains and had a red rash somewhat like heat rash. Have now changed formula and stools are fine, yellow with good consistency but eczema is spreading. If they have changed formula, what materials and from what source are they, especially… Read more

materials such as arachidonic acid as it can cuase major reactions if not purified and stabilised.

Nestle, better get your laywers geared up if you keep this on the shelves!

causes an allergy like reaction and the diaper dumps say it all
