My breast milk dried up at 9 weeks and i was suddenly left with choosing formula. I studied hundreds of reviews and ascertained that aptamil was clearly the overall best choice. I am so pleased with my decision because my LO has not suffered any colic, reflux or constipation. She is such a happy baby!! The aptamil might not be the reason for having no problems with my LO but having read so many reviews there is definately something in it and i have no intention of switching. Yes, it is more expensive than the others but i'd rather go without myself to ensure my LO gets the best and happiest start in life. Many people stated in the reviews that they chose certain formulas because it was what the hospital gave them so it must be the best. Let me tell you that the hospital will stock the cheapest formula, not necessarily the best so don't be fooled. Saying that, all formulas will give your child what they nutritionally need, Aptamil just does it with lesser risk of constipation and colic which in itself is priceless in preventing.

My Health Visitor recommended Milupa Aptamil to me as I was using SMA and was having diffuculties with constipation. The Aptamil First worked wonders within 24hrs. Would have started off on this milk if I had known about it.

my baby girl is now 9wks old we started her on cow and gate comfort and she had dreadful consitpation we tried colief a cranial oestopath then rasins juice etc then swapped to hipp organic due to the low iron she started to go 3 times a day but still consitpated and crying when feeding!!!! not drinking!! now started Milupa Aptamil First Infant Formula Milk and she has been normal ie soft,and is drinking the whole bottle fingers crossed it keeps ok.

Is good to use to compliment breastfeeding. If not breastfeeding it has added fats that are in breastmilk, closest formula to breastmilk.

Not as widely available as other formulas, its usually stocked in large shops and chemists but most local stores only stock the 2 most popular brands which in my opinion are not as beneficial to babies.

I like this milk, i breastfeed but always have a couple of ready made cartons in the cupboard for if my baby needs a feed while im out.

I have used aptamil for both of my daughters and have been content in both cases.They liked this milk and would finish their feedings in no time.

I thought the foil packaging was a disadvantage but at the time they were also selling at chemists a special container for storage so it worked out as far as transport and storage were concerned. If the temperature of the water is not correct it is difficult for the powder to dissolve and the nipple clogs when the baby is feeding.

I would recommend Aptamil. I breast fed both of my daughters for six months and used aptamil to supplement without any problems.

Aside from its reasonable price not only for this particular product of Milupa, it is highly less costly that other popular brands but for the same value of ingredients particularly the nutrition composition of Milupa products particularly this infant formula. Although I do breastfeed my baby added source of nutrients from Milupa is a plus for my baby.

Milupa Aptamil First Infant Formula Milk is the greatest milk powder out there. This milk is amazing I have fed all 3 of my children on it having had to change 2 of them over to it as previous milk gave them terrible pains, Milupa is so light and ungreasy unlike other milks I really do believe it is next to breast milk. My babies love it.

Whilst it appears that Milupa Aptamil First Infant Formula is one of the more expensive formulas on the market, we were reassured that this was the closest available to breast milk (we had problems with breast feeding, therefore this was a concern) Recommended by friends to reduce the risk of constipation and secretly endorsed by a midwife in the hospital (they advised me that they are not allowed to recommend !!)
