Hello, I had similar experiences with previous mums.I have changed to C&G then my daughter started to have diarria, and could not stop pooing. Her bum become red. I tried 1 and2, both same effect. Aptamil has similar effect, but itwas not that bad. SMA is best, in a way, but it tend to give constipation to my daughter, so I am actually mixing Aptamil and SMA to get sofer poo but not diarria.

I breast fed both my sons until they was 5 months they are now 4 and 1. When i decided to stop breast feeding i moved them onto SMA and had no problems, once my second son reached a year i wanted to move him onto cows milk, however he did not like it so had a look at other formula milks to see which would suit his age i chose cow and gate growing up milk for toddlers{one year plus}. He refused at first but after a few attemps he enjoyed it. It is very easy to make a feed for him in its container however im sure all mothers would agree its whats inside that counts. He has been drinking it now for 2 weeks and every day he has had diarare what on earth is ...  Read the complete review

Big mistake yet again, my daughter was again v v poorly and had a very sore bum. At the ...  Read the complete review

Cow and Gate is a brand for a range of baby foods, ranging from infant formula right up to 1 year plus meals. In formula you can get Infant formula, which is a subsitute to breast feeding, you can also get a hungry baby formula, also a substitute to breast feeding but with a slight difference to give a fuller for longer feeling, then at 6 months they have Follow on milk, then at 1 year plus you can get toddler milk, which in my opinion is abit of a marketting scam but all the brands seem to do toddler milks now. The main product I use from cow and gate is there jar purrees, we started with stage one, these are very smooth in texture, they come in a ...  Read the complete review

We all know that Mothers milk is the best, although in a perfect world for so many reasons this is not always possible. When for some reason we cannot give our baby Mums milk then we do need a substitute. When I had my little girl she was born 10 weeks premature. At this age a baby has not learnt to suck yet. We tend to forget that this most simple thing has to be learnt and also needs strength to do so. So my daughter was fed through a tube. She was only 3lb 3oz. I had enough milk to supply the tubes for 2 weeks and so then we had to find a suitable substitute for her. SMA and Cow and Gate milk for "natural arrivals" does ...  Read the complete review
