Aptamil Gold+ Questions & Answers (page 3 of 3)

Thank you. I was more concerned that If I kept to her regular intake it would be detrimental to her belly or something.
So thought to carry on with 600ml this week and wean off in a couple of days

Hi Shanae,
I too switched from stage 1 to 2 for my son, but I cannot remember any serious issues except for farting ( gas) a bit and passing a quite a lot excretion (poo) every other day or the second without a struggle. He was quite settled on change. However, I remember I continued stage 1 for a little longer until his tummy gets matured. Look, compare the ingredients of stage 1 and 2 and see what made him to be so unsettled, so then you will get an idea of what impacted for his change. May be he needs a little time to get used to new formula. It is wise that you have switched back to stage 1 until his poor little tummy get adjusted. I would suggest you consult your family doctor or talk to maternity health nurse and seek their advice too since it is a recurrent issue before you step into your next decision. You can talk to your maternity heath nurse over the phone coz I have done numerous times. Hope this helps and wish you everything will go on well. xxxx

Hi, I ended up changing to NAN 2. I did however notice that his poos were a little bit harder on the NAN and I guess he wasn't used to that as his poos were always runny on the Karicare, so I just add an extra 10ml of water into each bottle and that seems to work. Every baby is different. You might have to keep changing formula's until you find the right one. Good luck.

Thanks, he is 12 months old, 9 months corrected as he was 3 months prem. He has been on stage one since he was 4 months old after he stopped tolerating breast milk. We haven't had any issues with stage one and stayed on it so long because he needed the extras while he wasn't eating much. But now he is eating more our health nurse said to try stage 2, she said to expect some constipation with the change but we got the opposite!. Doctor said staying on stage 1 won't hurt as we are starting weaning process so maybe it's just best to stay on stage 1 until he weans.

Mine was quite frothy but thin

No it's not meant to go thick at all.

I wonder if I have a bad batch?

Thanks!

9000 cans? I can't even find 1 can let alone 9000 because of you lot taking the whole supply to fill your own pockets!

I'm not so sure about thick, my son had problems digesting it.

Mine is thick too..and it's making the feed really hard to get through the teat. I tried adding 20mls over the recommended dose and that seems to work so far

Dear Sehar, thanks for reading my post, I am not a doctor, I am not sure if you try first, then give your baby would be ok? The question is who or which country actually made it? Will you trust them?

I switched from Aptamil Gold to Aptamil ProFutura with no problem. If you look at the ingredients, they are the same. The only difference is that the ProFutura has some probiotics added to it.

Hi Leelee, I don't know about other Karicare products I just know that the Aptamild Gold Formula did not agree with our baby, perhaps its the Gold version of all of these formulas. I would recommend to speak to your Dr to check for allergies because sometimes it is not allergies.

Hi Abbey I hope you can find the right formula for your little one. From my research the gold version of the formulas can possibly cause gastrointestinal problems (I'm sure you will do your own research to double check that). Throughout all this i have used "infants friend" wind drops. I used Novalac gold after I stopped aptamil gold but my newborn son was very constipated on Novalac gold. I tried Heinz nurture & son got bad bad wind pains. Now I'm on Bellamys & son is doing ok but can get a bit constipated. I think every child is different cause my niece took Nan h gold with probiotics 3 yrs ago after lots of problems & it worked for her but I refused to give the gold version to my son so I went organic. I now also use Dr Browns baby bottles to reduce colic & they work he is less bloated my only issue is constipation now. I recommend Dr Browns bottles as they seem to work & another friend with newborn recommended it ( they are expensive though), also wind drops like infants friend.

Yes but it only affected the 1 & 2 stage. My understanding from the company's website it was a batch manufactured last year in march. My daughter is currently still drinking Aptimil 3 and has no problems if you are concerned the karicare website provided the batch number that was affected. Hope this helps you.

Have you tried the aptimil?

When my lil one went to 6 months i went to second tin and he had runs for a few days lasted about 3 and now he is fine i think it just was the change since the second tin had more vitamins and just any change can upset a lil ones belly for a bit, stick with it and see how you go if doesnt get better my need to check with doc.

sounds like your bub isn't settling well with any of the two brands...i assume she is on solids too...could it be something she is eating causing her to have the runs? I

My childrens movements were not solid they never r at that age but maybe lactose intolerant check with gp

We haven't done that, but we have put formula mix in the bottle and have a thermas of warm water to make the bottles as needed, that worked for us, especially for night time feeds,

The tin does say "it's safer to use immediately after they are prepared" I used to make them and use them immediately when my babies were very little (to be safe) I now make only a days worth at a time (but please remember that is what I do not what is recommended by the company and this method works for Me and may not be suitable for your children and if unsure call the nutricua line 1800060057they are extremely helpful) I make all my bottles at bedtime everyday and discard any left over for the 24 hour period! Then I can be sure it's all used with on one day :) hope this helps :)

Thanku so much ladies

For twins? Once you're enrolled in the programme it is literally half price and they deliver - i think free of charge. We always buy 18 in one hit.
You just need a note from your GP supporting using formula to enrol,
cheers
