Farleys Baby Food

Farleys milk is available in boxes of 14 sachets, each sachet makes up a 4oz (113ml) feed and it's available in First Milk, Second Milk and Follow on milk. (Farley’s also do the Simplifeed system, but I am discussing the sachets!) Since I finished breastfeeding my son, I looked for a suitable follow on milk for him as he was over 6 months old. He is a vegetarian so I thought that follow-on milk would be better for him as it is richer in iron than standard formula. When trying to choose his milk, I noticed that most follow on milks had to be made up "in a batch" which I do not like as it does not suit the way I do my bottles. I am ...  Read the complete review

Farley's have introduced a new simplified feeding system for their milk formula and follow on milk. The system, allows you to make up several feeds at one go accurately. You get a mixing container, plunger and sachets of formula pre measured so you know you are giving the exact right amount. It is so simple, you just sterilise all the equipment, fill the container up to the line, tip in a sachet of formula powder and mix with the plunger. Then you can either pour into bottles or beakers, or put the lid on and store in the fridge. The main advantage of this type of system is the accuracy of it. We all know how dangerous it is to over feed or under ...  Read the complete review

Shortly after I got my new baby home I had to begin feeding formula. During and after every feed he was sick. Until he was 16 weeks old and my childminder came with me to the doctor I was told continually that it was normal. When he was weaned at 9 weeks and was taking less formula the sickness became noticibly less. Eventually I persuaded my doctor that I needed to try Soya milk. She agreed that it was a possibility so off I went to Boots. Of the 3 Soya brands available Farleys was the only one to clearly state that it was lactose and milk free and suitable for anybody. Withing 24 hours of starting the Soya formula the sickness was down to ...  Read the complete review

I have used Farley’s first milk with both my children after breastfeeding for the first few months. It has always seemed to agree with their tummies and they like the taste, plus it had the added advantage of being at least 50p a tin cheaper than SMA, but just as widely available. Also, more importantly, I know that Farleys has LCPs in it, a chemical thought to be important in development of the brain. LCPs are found in breast milk but not in all formula milks. Recently, Farley’s have brought out a new Simplifeed system, so that instead of buying the formula in a big tin, and measuring it out yourself using the scoop provided, you buy it in ...  Read the complete review

Farleys Soya Formula. My first son was really poorly for a long time, he was constantly projectile sick, had constant diohrea, red blotchy skin, could'nt gain weight, the diagnosis from the health profession - he was just a sicky baby, and I was not feeding him properly. When I moved to my current address I registered with the local doctors. And after 2 anaphlaptic shocks, and tests later my son was diagnosed with a severe milk intolerance, and issued with epipens. When I fell pregnant my husband and I decided we did not want the same thing to happen this time, so I brought a tin of Faley's soya formula, the plan was to breast feed first, then onto ...  Read the complete review
