Its ok
As far as taste goes my baby had no problem going from breast to this. My baby had no issue with digesting it and was happy with the read up of ingredients. The product did however constipate a little but I have heard across them all that can be an issue.

Baby loves it and fills her up
Baby loves drinking this formula and it fills her up really well. Great to prepare and no side affects at all with her drinking it. High recommended if you want a quality formula that will make your baby fatter! Haha

Tried, tested and true
I turned to Aptamil Gold 1 with my first son after 2 previous formula brands gave him gas. He loved it and I used the whole Aptamil range until he moved onto cow's milk.
My second son was born very premature so had to rely solely on me for the first 3 months for milk. At about 5 months (2 months corrected), I started him on the Karicare Aptamil Gold De-Lact for some feeds. He did great on it, so I moved him to Aptamil Gold 1, with the same results. He is mix fed and has no trouble moving from breast to bottle with this formula. Highly recommended. Try Karicare Aptamil Gold first before other brands.

Has been awesome for the baby
This formula is so good. We have had no issues what so ever. Even after switching directly to formula after breastfeeding it has not been a problem for the young one.

Perfect for babes
My baby has been breastfed and found switching over to formula to mix feed challenging. However, when we switched to Aptamil he took to it straight away. There has been no side effects - other than a content baby! The formula is incredibly easy to prepare, even in the middle of the night with one eye open.

Perfect with a little help.
I switched the Aptimal Gold + when my son was 1 month old, we tried a few different formulas but his little tummy couldn't handle them.
He is so much more settled now that we have this worked out and sleeps all night.
We do add thickener to his feeds as the AR formula didn't sit well with him but he was spitting up too much and losing weight so the thickener has definitely helped him.
I actually used this with my 9 and 10 year olds when they were babies in the same combination (I believe at the time it was under Karicare gold +) so it is great to see that it is still working.

I wanted to like this formula.
We initially started our baby on another popular formula however I decided to swap over to Aptamil Gold as his poop started becoming quiet solid. I was hoping this would be a winner as I had used this for my first born back in 2010 when it was Karicare Gold and I had great success with it. Whilst his poop has improved greatly, it gave him a ridoculous amount of wind. He literally became a human trumpet. Was he bothered by it?? Maybe not as much as the amount of wind he would make you think but my mummy instinct tells me that he did seem a littl...Read more
e unsettled. Another downside is the effort required to dissolve this formula and the amount of bubbles / foam it creates if shaken. I don't recall Karicare Gold being so foamy 9 years ago. After calling the company to discuss this issue I was advised to swirl and stir with a teaspoon. Whilst this did prevent bubbles and foam, at times there were still chunks of undissolved formula in the bottle. This is difficult when you have a baby screaming for a bottle or when you're out of the house. I demand feed my baby so preparing at a set time doesn't work for us. I appreciate that the foam is created as a result of a particular ingredient (I believe the Fish oils, but don't quote me) and have read a comment by a Nutricia Rep stating that these bubbles stabilise and shouldn't affect baby if the bottle / teat is adequately drawing air back in to prevent baby taking excess air in. This is all good and well but unfortunately it's still a deal breaker for us as I'm not entirely convinced that the increase of wind wasn't attributed to just an ingredient and not the bubbles. As I've stated, I am disappointed that it didn't work for us so we have now moved on to another brand. I would definitely consider returning to Aptamil Gold should the process of preparing the formula be improved.Purchased in September 2021 at Chemist Warehouse for $24.60.

Sachets are great for EFB mums
My bub is being exclusively breast fed, but this brand is one of only two that I have found that offers formula in sachets. This means that I can leave my baby with my husband if I have a doctors or physio appointment ect, and know that hubby has an option to feed bub in an emergency. We’ve only need to use the sachets twice but just having them is a massive weight off my mind when I’m separated from my little one.

Easy all round
My baby has need formula to supplement my breast milk supply shortage and she loves it.
What I love:
- I'm always able to find a supply at supermarkets or online stores without any difficulty
- Able to feed from birth till now (baby currently 4 months)
- I use a little bit less than a level scoop to ensure it dissolves completely
- Dissolves in cool water with no issues
- Average price - I usually order online and get free delivery as it's max 3 containers and is over $50

Great formula brand with no problems
Easy preparation, dissolves quickly in cold or warm water with no lumps or residue. Baby feeds well on this, we are up to 12 weeks old now without any issues. We microwave the water for 30 seconds then add the powder and shake before changing the top of the bottle to a teat. Perfect and quickly prepared!

Trusted brand in my household
My newborn had a weight-loss at the hospital and doctor advised to use a formula to help with gaining weight. Without thinking twice I used Aptamil Gold as I have used it for my first as well. this is easy to use and bub seems to enjoy. and most Importantly helped with the weight gain within 2 weeks. Now I mainly breast feed my baby (6 weeks) but I keep a tin for emergencies, like to use when out and about.

Terrific for baby
The first formula we tried for our son. No clunks and mixed well with water. Always seemed content after bottle. Super easy to prepare. Loved this formula! Only one downfall is that it was stressful experience finding it stocked on supermarket/chemist shelf.

Best formula I’ve used!
My son had a hard time with initially having formula but from the moment we started with Aptamil Gold 1 he has been a happy, healthy baby! No colic, spews or constipation. So easy to prepare, 4 scoops a shake of the bottle and we’re good to go! Will be using it again for our next baby!

A popular brand, but a little bit oily
My baby tried a few brands of baby formula after discharge from the hospital.
Finally, we find one suits my baby. Her poo is not too dry or too watery.
However, every time I wash the bottle, it is very oily.

My first choice of milk
My baby is drinking this brand's milk since he was born. The formula is very easy to go prepare there are instructions on the can so it's not confusing at all. And my baby enjoys drinking this formula, we have no issues and continues to put on weight.

Questions & Answers
Julz C.asked
Does baby need to move onto stage 2 straight away at 6 month? How long can U use stage 1 for?
1 answer
Nutricia Careline T.Aptamil
Great question Julz. The stage 1 formula is a breast milk substitute, so suitable to provide the milk portion of babies diet through to 12 months and beyond, in the same way that breast milk is suitable. No milk will meet all of babies nutrition needs after 6 months and solid foods are needed to add energy and nutrition.
So... if baby is settled and doing well on stage 1 milk, there is no need to change to a stage 2 unless you are wanting to do this. Do please call or livechat us if you would like to talk this through (1800 438500 or www.nutriciacareline.com.au).
