Aptamil Gold+ Reflux (page 4 of 7)

I bottle fed my baby, because I had to.
To begin with we started off with Nan Gold up to about 3 months.
My baby had a lot of reflux problems with that brand and so our GP recommended Aptamil Gold AR (anti reflux) and she thrived dramatically!
She even seemed not to catch colds, ate really well and just loved her Aptamil.
She is now 5 and a very happy and healthy little girl.
We were lucky enough to get the right milk 1st go but more importantly stopped the reflux that we were told by 2 paediatricians that if it continued she would have to have an operation to relieve the symptoms, which was always for us very unnecessary.
I certainly would have no hesitation in recommending Aptamil Gold.

Easy to prepare and Bub loves it.
My son has been on this since he was a week old as I couldn't breast feed. Recently he came down with influenza A and was hospitalised, the doc had no hesitations in telling me to put him back on a half formula half cows milk diet. He's gaining weight again and loves his formula!!!

Formula is great for my baby who had really bad reflux. Although the second and third day his stool was a bit harder. But feeding him abit of water in between some feeds solved that problem.
Formula is easy to preapare. Although we had to cut bigger holes in our teats so it could flow out. Reccomedations:
1. buy fast flowing teats
2.Don't mix formula with water until right before baby feeds because it gets to thick after 5-10min.
3. Give it a few days for baby to adjust and when required give baby some water in between feeds to help soft...

I might be jumping the gun as we're only 2 days in but this has made huge changes in our 3 month old. She had terrible reflux & was on medication but was still obviously uncomfortable and she's been a different baby since we changed formula. Yes it's thicker but buying new bottles is no problem, I'd pay anything to keep my settled happy bub. Thank u!!

This formula quite literally saved my sanity. I became ill only 6 weeks after my precious little boy arrived and was unable to breastfeed while on medication. My little guy had the most dreadful colic and reflux. A helpful and understanding pharmacist led a tearful me to this formula and after the 1st bottle bub went from wanting to feed every 45 minutes to his first solid 2 hour sleep since birth.

This formula is perfect for any child with relux. Its easy to prepare as the tin has a little edge you can scrape the formula spoon on to level out the serve. Were as some brands you have to keep a knife handy. It is thicker then normal formula but just requires a strong shake. This has always been my go to formula with my babies when they have needed thicker formula. Its such a relief to know there is something like this out there for babies. No side effects with my kids. And kept my babies fuller for longer.

I brought the formula and with some fast flow teats it has trouble coming out and had to make the hole bigger other then that im liking it so far my little has just gone on the formula and doesnt chuck up as much and is abit more settle and not crying as much but seems to have diarrhoea ever since i put them on the aptamil ar formula not sure if thats normal an if you have warn custom that could happen

It's so thick poor bubs can't suck it out of the bottle. I'll have to throw the whole container out and buy something else :( I wonder whether the company knows you need a different bottle to allow flow, but that information certainly wasn't plastered on the front of the container.

We used this formula since my baby was 5 days old but this time, when preparing milk I found a white hair inside the can, I took photo on it. It's not from us for sure coz I have a black hair and my partner is bownish not white and long. Very bad experience. Thinking not to use it anymore

Spoke to Hilary and she was a joke! She said I MADE WRONG DECISIONS because 2 different types of there product are making my son sick
Your products are a joke DO NOT BUY! Really bad after sales service! I have tried other formulas and they are much better when I contacted them they told me I made the wrong decision but your product says thicker to help with reflux ! Bunch of liars

This is the formula I buy for my son. Aptamil gold is so easy to prepare and my son seems to enjoy it. He loves this formula and growing really fast, sometimes is hard to find it in supermarket, and need to travel around to find it but I think it worth for me look for it.

Okay, so my daughter had very bad reflux when she was bored, I tried so many formulas and then someone told me about this one, it was amazing for her, but the only downside was it made her very constipated, but that was a quick fix for that constipation

This is the formula my son was on for the first 3 months it worked well, he never really vomited BUT if and when he did it was almost the whole bottles worth and because the formula is so thick it was not fun to clean up. Other than that the formula worked well it doesn't smell as bad as the regular Aptamil, but I did transition him to the regular as this one was just too thick and If you left the bottle for longer than 5 minutes it was too thick to come out of the teat.

I bought it for my little nephew in chemist warehouse. He has always been on this baby formula and never changed other brands. He loves this formula and growing really fast! But there is occasionally shortage of this brand at CW and coles near my location, so sometimes I need to commute a long way to purchase it. Recommend mums to prepare at leat one extra can at home just in case there is a shortage in your local stores.

My baby boy was born on early April this year and our pediatrician has recommended the Aptamil brand to me if I couldn't breast feed him. When my son was at 1 week old, I made a purchase of the Aptamil Gold+ Stage 1 and tried to use it as a top-ups at night time, however he has a lot of spit-up and mild reflux straight after drinking it and he was also seemed to be in pain (due to acid reflux), non-stop crying throughout the whole night after being fed.

I have done lots of research trying to find possible solutions and then decided to give A...

We followed on using what special care nursery used and never looked back, it was just hard to find sometimes during the great baby formula shortage/ people buying bulk and ripping overseas people off, we Got our little girl off the formula just after 1 year of top ups

We were originally using Bellamy's until a friend recommended Aptamil because her 2 boys had it when they were little and it prevents reflux. Our son had very mild reflux so we thought of giving this a go.

After about 12 hours of consuming Aptamil our son had diarrhea. We didn't think anything of it and continued to feed him this formula until after the 4th nappy of diarrhea when we decided to switch back to Bellamy's. Gradually our baby's poo started to thicken back to the normal mustard-like poo. Wouldn't purchase this again.

I have to call a few stores to find out if anyone has any and then go and pick, but again only 2 tins as its always out of stock :( I shop more often from Woolie as its closest from my house. There have been times when i am running out of formula and i have to cut on a feed for my daughter so that i can save up till i find a few more.

My baby developed a very bad constipation while using this formula and it is so thick once prepared that it would not flow easialy through the bottle making my daughter upset.
I stopped giving it to her when I noticed the constipation was getting severe and I hadto trow 2/3 of the tin in the rubbish. It was a waste of my precious money.

Easy to prepare. We Went from Aptimal to Aptimal AR without an issue and back again without any problems at all. Ceased reflux instantly, baby was more settled at night. Only needed to purchase one tin and the reflux had ceased with no reaccurance.
This product definitely worked for us.

Formula is incredible. My baby had severe silent reflux at a month old, and nothing else would resolve it. We did go on Losec, but even if we used the regular formula with that, he would be vomiting and his stomach churning. It was awful... but we could see the difference within half an hour of use. Would recommend for any child with reflux issues.

My baby has severe reflux and can vomiting easily upto 10 times a feed and a few hours after. And is on losec. After trying a few different brands of AR formula, cows and goats milk nothing ever helped. He had a sensitive tummy and cows milk constipated him and tummy pains, goats milk was good for the bottom end but terrible for the reflux. After giving up and just staying on goats formula. I decided to try aptamil AR, thinking it was going to be the same.. but no!

He's poohs upto 4 times a day! No tummy pain, no vomits! And sleeping longer.

This formula is amazing, really helped with my sons reflux and as it slowly thickens in their tummies it isn't too rich for them. He loved the thickness of it and it did take a long time to feed him but it reduced his vomiting significantly which was a massive help. I highly recommend this product if you have a spewy baby and this also helped with tummy pain as well

It was easy to prepare however My baby didn't enjoy eating it because it didn't come through from bottle easily.she got constipation as I see blood with her poo ☹️☹️☹️ Still we have problems with her poos and she looks sick but she never was constipated with other formula

Im not one to normally write reviews but felt I had to,I've been searching desperately to find a good formula for my baby who has been very unsettled since I couldn't breastfeed any longer. I tried many formulas before using this one, s26gold, bellamys, nan comfort, karicare plus. my baby used to scream in pain after every feeding and then continued afterwards, sometimes until the next feed. He used to arch his back, spit up formula and have terrible wind. I was reluctant to try yet another formula but I was desperate and hated to see him so up...
