Great Formula!
Gold+ 2Baby enjoys drinking this formula. Baby has been having aptamil since birth. Does not have a strange smell and baby does not get constipated or has diarrhoea. Paired with the right feeding bottle baby had minimal colic when he was less than 6 months old. Formula is also easy to prepare and dissolves in lukewarm water easily. Love this formula. My daughter also was on the Aptamil range when she was a baby. It also has a good stock supply in most groceries. Aptamil also has the sachets for sale, which is good for trials so you don’t have to buy the whole can or good to bring for short travels.
Great formula for baby!
Gold+ 2Recommend aptamil formula- baby has been using it since birth and we have had no problems. Easy to use and measure. Stocked at a variety of places and easy to find. Also comes in travel sachets which is really handy when going on trips! Baby enjoyed the taste and it stayed fresh!
first choice of milk
Gold+ 1My baby is drinking this brand's milk since he was born. The formula is very easy go prepare if your organised. The quality of the product has not changed and have stuck by it. Travels well when needed. Delivered quickly and at no extra cost if you buy a few.
My baby loves it.

Excellent
Gold+ 1My daughter enjoys drinking this formula, we have no issues and continues to put on weight. We have no side effects from drinking this formula (we're fortunate as other babies may have a diary allergy). The formula is easy to prepare, the instructions are on the can so it's not confusing at all.
Great for my child
Gold+ 1This formula has worked very well for my son from day one. It goes down well and doesn't smell funny like some of the other ones do. He doesn't have any problems with eating or bathroom and seems quite enjoy the flavour. I will be using this one for my next child as well. I the only issues is that it is more pricey than some of the other brands and is often out of stock
My first choice of milk for my toddler
Gold+ 3I really had hard time looking for milk next to enfamil when we arrived Australia. I'm glad that my sister in law introduce aptamil gold to me and now my daughter gains weight upon taking it. I buy 5 cans of 900g whenever we shop as sometimes it is out of stock. I need to buy lots of it since we only shop fortnightly and definitely would buy more coz my daughter loves it!
Great baby formula
Gold+ 2Have tried a lot of baby formula brand but my son just refused to drink them so that my sister recommend this aptamil gold+ 2 for my son. After my son tried it, he seem really love it! This formula is quite easy to prepare even if outdoor i still can prepare it.
Baby loves it
Gold+ 3My daughter has always been on Aptamil and she loves it. We did not dare to experiment with this any further. The availability is a bit of an issue with the product not available on the shelf most of the time. We always have to ask the attendant to fetch one from inside the storage.

It's a popular baby formula brand, just difficult to purchase sometimes.
Gold+ 1My baby is drinking this brand's milk since he was born. He very enjoys drinking this formula. He is about 13-month old now. we already change to stage 3. Still, he seems very likes this formula. The problem is very hard to purchase at the supermarket, they always out of stock.
The best alternate to mother's milk
Gold+ 1Aptimal gold 1 is thick and fills your baby up without blocking them on the otherside. Fed all three of my children this formula and found it better than other brands.
It helps little bodies develop fats and muscles and great development. Would highly rate this product and do recommend it to new mum's.
Only one

Good formula
Gold+ 3I have no issue with this baby formula. Aptamil gold + 3 provided enough nutrition to every age steps's baby. It is very easy to prepare. My wife also no issue with it. My daughter love it very much. Highly recommended to my friends and family members to try it.
Excellent Formula, Highly Recommended
Gold+ 3Our baby enjoys this formula and took to it with no issues at all. Our baby didn’t have any side effects or negative reactions to drinking this formula. It is super easy to prepare, the instructions are simple to remember and it is worth the money - healthy and affordable for sure!
Great formula and ordering online a bonus when the shelves are empty
Gold+ 1This formula was originally suggested by the hospital where I had my son. In honesty we kept the same formula as there were no issues rather than trying several. Easy on his stomach and when the supermarket shelves are empty you can order online which was amazing. Delivered quickly and at no extra cost if you buy a few.
Toddler took it well transitioning from breast milk
Gold+ 1My toddler took to aptamil well transitioning from breastmilk, and didn’t have any side effects, although he did seem to get eczema very early on which had since cleared up, unsure whether it is related. Very easy to prepare, although runs out fast in supermarkets, due to popular demand v
Baby seems to enjoy it
Gold+ 1Baby seems quite content on this formula
It’s always in stock at my local Woolworths and coles
It goes up in stages right to toddler
Instructions on tin are easy to follow
Baby doesn’t have any side effects and went from breastfeeding to this formula easily
It is very affordable
My baby girl loves it
Gold+ 1Been using this since baby was born from day one. The formula is easy to prepare and my baby just loves it and drink more. This product is good for baby, and not resulting any bad effects like getting constipation. This series are highly recommended by many mums all over the world, the great quality and the nutrition formula are really necessary for the growing babies.
My baby has never been sick of it. The only issue is that it's not disolved in water quiet well
Pros and cons
Gold+ 1In the beginning, my babies love aptamil but we noticed that they’re getting constipated that’s why we change to other formula. Other reason that’s why we change is that it’s always out of stock everywhere. Formula is easy to prepare as well. It’s a bit pricey compare to others. Over all okay.
Didn’t work for our baby.
Gold+ 2We gave our baby Aptamil since birth on our hospitals recommendation. It was fine until we changed to gold 2 at six months. Our baby suffered from reflux and was medicated. We even used the thickener to help. At about 7 months the reflux started getting better but instead hour Baby would projectile vomit everything that they drank. Even after burping. Baby is now 10 months and the projectile has become more frequent and its only during feeds. There are no allergies to any food but they are flat out refusing the formula. We have noticed that the
... Read more formula smells absolutely putrid after the baby is finished drinking. We haven’t used the thickener for a few weeks as the reflux is better. Our baby doesn’t projectile every feed but it got to at least once a day. It was only ever the formula that did it. We decided to change the formula within a week of a completely different brand our baby is drinking so much better. It isn’t a fight anymore. There’s no projectile vomiting and no putrid smell. I personally feel terrible feeding my baby someone that made me sick to smell it.Don’t like
Gold+ 1I started my baby on this formula and it made him so constipated and he had trouble bringing up his wind, other than that it seemed to be fine but my baby would constantly strain and grunt struggling to poo and only ever do little pebble poos every 3 days.
Not easy to mixed
Gold+ 1Not good at all. I gave her Aptamil gold colic and constipation to try but my DD don't like it. It hard to mixed compare to the other brand. Very pricey and not help with constipation. For baby with constipation, i recommended Novalac formula. Normally I gave her this one, it really good and she love it. No more for Aptamil.
Good second choice milk formula
Gold+ 3We got the similar product but in the satchet form - only when we ran out of our usual S26 Gold formula. We were keen to try a different brand, and the supermarket did not have our regular one.
I must say the quality is not different from the S26. Easy to mix, they actually smell less metallic compared to S26. My son seemed to like it a lot compared to the S26 but that could be due to the fact he was bored with the S26 after drinking it for few years! It wasn't constipating.
We will be switching to Aptamil Gold more so - seemed to have more discount available and more attractive pricing.
Good and same as other brands
Gold+ 1Had to try an alternate brand to see if there was any difference...
Apart from what I guess is the flavour of it vs the usual brand (bub looked at the bottle funny after tasting, and did this a few times before settling in to drink as usual), nothing changed except from the larger scoop size.
Mixes easily, easy to prepare, no upset tummy.
Again, the bigger scoop results in less bottles per tin, but other than that, same as most other baby formulas.
Not a good start
Gold+ 1My baby was prem and i was not having enough good supply so I had to choose any formula and i choosed this. In the first i did not notice my baby starts to remain unsettled which was due to this. Otherwise his bowels were normal. He was having a swere gas problem and was always crying while feeding. So i will not go for it again.
Baby happy to take
Gold+ 1Tried for supplemental feeding as recommended by hospital based on protein percentage (hospital said to look for lower percentage, as closer to breast milk). Baby happy to take, easy to prepare. Powder lasts 4 weeks once opened. Would be happy to continue using this product in the future if required.
Best baby formula
Gold+ 1Hi everyone I have been feeding my son for the last 15 months with this formula and it’s so easy to Measure I tried lots of other formulas in the start but this is only one my son seems to like and the only time I ever seen a side-effect was when I change formulas so I change straight back it’s a little More expensive than some of the other brands but this is definitely value for money
Good Milk Formula, Great customer service
Gold+ 3Aptamil is a good choice for my baby as we regularly need to go back to Hong Kong and it's also supplied there. Furthermore we've tried a few brand, and my baby found this most suitable e.g. poopoo looks good, won't refuse to drink etc. However, it isn't like other brand e.g. S26 has some discount promotion regularly. But stage 3 and 4 is reasonably lower, so it's more affordable.
Also, their official website live chat is very useful as I was unsure which series to try on AR, HR etc. And their customer service explain very clearly what's the purpose and in which situation for different product.
However, from time to time, it's shortage on shelf at super market and we need to try a few different store if it's urgent.
Aptamil Making Babies Sick
Gold+ 1Found this article on Aptamil, when I went into my pharmacy I noticed on the can that they have made changes, perhaps this is the reason why my bub was sick, very angry.
Parents have slammed a follow-on milk product's new recipe claiming it is making their babies ill.
Danone UK, which makes Aptamil, made a change to its First Infant milk powder - with tubs of the new version hitting supermarket shelves in the past few weeks.
As well as anger that the company has reduced the size of the packs from 900g to 800g while keeping the price the same
Love it
Gold+ 1Yes, the product is easy to prepare and has instructions to follow as well.
My son loved it.
My son had no side effects what so ever. No constipation or caused him to throw up. I find no faults what so ever.
100% choose this again for my next baby
This has been a great product
Gold+ 4Formula is average price and gentle on tummies. My son loves the taste and I have been using it since he was three months. He is now two and drinks cows milk but can be a fussy eater so when he is not eating properly I top him up with this formula. This is a great way to get some extra nutrients into him.
Value for money
Gold+ 1My baby enjoys this at a reasonable price compared to previous brand I used to buy which is way too overpriced. Easy to prepare and store while I am away for work. Also readily available in any grocery store or super market. No side effect being observed using this brand.
No Problems!
Gold+ 1First and only formula used in this house. Our 6 week old is Content with this Formula and the only side effects of the mix is wind.
It is easy to prepare, scoop and storage is great and does clump.
My little girl is fine on it, puts her to sleep whilst burping.
Was recommended by the Clinic Child Nurse and Midwife.
The only formula I was happy with
Gold+ 1As I couldn't breast feed at an early point of my sons life, I wanted the absolute best formula possible but to find out what you think is best, you need to test numerous brands. I got lucky and had a friend who only uses this for her 3 boys recommend it after I tried a few brands and I couldn't have been happier. It's not clumpy! Easy to make up bottles and has a nicer taste then other formulas. My son also gained weight and slept better through each night after starting it.
Good product
Gold+ 2This is a good product, my baby liked it. This product also helped my baby for colic discomfort and tummy pain. Its easily available in the shops. It gets a bit frothy when you make it, this is the only thing which i don't like comparatively other baby formula i used before.
My son prefers it over any other formula
Gold+ 1My son is 4 months old and since he was born I've had him on 3 different formulas A2 milk then S26 and now aptimul and he like aptimul more then the rest and he doesn't vomit as much since drinking it I'm very happy with this product and so is my son
Great value for money
Gold+ 3We gave this one a try when our second baby ran out of A2 stage 3 toddler milk and when we could not find any from the shelves of any supermarket or pharmacy. It is proved to be a good alternative. It is quite easy to prepare and no side effect was noticed. The price is much more attractive than A2 and the baby seemed to like it as well.
A good to one to start with
Gold+ 1Formula preparation is super easy just add formula + Luke warm water and done. My baby is on this formula since birth from hospital and we continued the same brand without experimenting much. Surely its not one of the cheap ones but would recommend this. My LO is not having any side effects with this formula. Word of attention, same brand has many different varieties. Make sure to stick with the consistent one. A word of caution, don't give the AR type unless recommend by doctor.
Do not recommend
Gold+ 1We used this formula as it was what our baby was given when he was in the hospital. After some research we decided to continue using it once we brought him home as well. He had really bad colic and we're told not to change formulas.straight away but to try other things first (eg. Infacol, infants friend). So we put up with months of screaming only to find that when we finally changed to Nan Comfort our baby was a completely different person.
This formula creates lots of bubbles. Baby has lots of wind and has trouble digesting.
No problems with all the ranges from HA to normal
Gold+ 1I have tried quite a few baby formula and the Nutricia range is probably my favourite. If Aptamil is too expensive Karicare is good too. If you would like to spend more you could go for the professional range which has probiotics in it. I think the Aptamil range is good enough. Nutricia has been doing research on formula for a long time and they do a lot of highly specialised formulas that are prescribed by Doctors. Therefore i trust this range. My son didn't have a problem with it at all. I do find the Aptamil Toddler step 4 has a very metallic after taste. I am guessing it is the iron.
