Unfortunately I was unable to breast feed with either of my children and had I been able to I would have done as I do believe breast is best. So I chose to use Aptamil with both of my children as I thought it was the best alternative to breast feeding and although they thrived and their weight gain was excellent I just couldn't get them to go through the night.

This formula is currently being used in addition to breast feeding. I feel that this is an ideal situation rather than giving up breast feeding altogether this formula is being used as a supplement.

Therefore Milupa Aptamil is a great alternative to the breast or as a supplement to it. I have no hesitation to recommend this milk, our baby moves effortlessly from breast milk to Aptamil.
