Hi, I'm from malaysia
The doctor says that my daughter can start solid already and she's 4 months+ now. It's hard to find Bellamy's rice cereal for 4 months. Is it OK if I buy for 6 months ones. What's the difference actually?

We are trying to transition our 6 weeks old to Bellamys what do you suggest that is a gentle change? Should we do half and half and im worried about gas would that affect the baby? Do you have sample size?

Hi, I have just changed over to Bellamy’s organic (0-6 months) formula as my LO had abit of eczema on his arms & legs and I thought I’d try an organic formula to see if it helps the situation.
It’s only been 1 week on the new formula & my almost 5 month old seems to be liking it, however there are afew concerns I have.
- he seems to have a lot more wind compared to his old formula (Aptamil gold 0-6 months) & it takes us forever to get it out of him. Is this normal? Is this formula heavier then Aptamil gold??
- he now spits up almost every feed, although I’ve started to burp him a little more often during his feed and this seems to have helped a little but either way he never ever vomited / had spit ups on his old formula.
- although his eczema on his arms / legs have gotten HEAPS better, he’s now gotten a little bit around his mouth & cheeks.
Has anyone had a similar experience?

Hi, I have a kettle that heats up the water to temperature required. What I have been doing is boiling the water to 100 degrees for sterilisation purposes and then reheating to 40 degrees when I’m making a bottle to get the perfect temperature to feed baby without needing to cool down the bottle etc. is this ok? My 2 year old was in Ballamys with no issues and now my newborn has been vomiting quiet a bit about once a day. Is this due to the new formula? As I also have a friend who’s newborn is vomiting on this formula

What has changed with the new formula. My 3.5 month old seems more gassy and spitting up more.

I've tried so hard to find step 1 formula for my son today. But I still didn't get it, I went to local Woolworth, then Coles, BigW, there were only fews cans of Step 2 on shelves.

Why your stock is so low?

Has anyone had a baby who appears to be in pain with wind after each bottle get used to the formula and settle down and not be in pain ?

does this powder include starch?

My son has been on this product for a little over 24 hours now as my milk supply has dropped. He is seeming full after the feeds and is feeding a lot more frequently. This morning he has woken up with awful tummy gas pains... do I preserve with this as it’s only early days or try another ??

I’m wondering why your formula has a higher protein content per 100mls than other companies? We were happily using bellamy’s for our newborn for supplementing feeds and the maternal child health nurse told us to change to a formula that has the lowest protein content as a study has shown it can lead to childhood obesity. Are you aware of the study and do you have any plans to alter the protein amount?

Warm regards,

Hi,

I have been gifted the tommee tippee bottle prep machine which makes formula baby bottles in less than 2 minutes. The way it works is that the machine prepares a hot shot of boiling water of 70 degrees into the bottle which you then add your formula to the bottle and mix and shake. You then put the bottle back on the machine and it then releases another shot of cooled water to bring the bottle to the perfect body temperature. I was wondering if I can use this machine to prepare ballamys organic formula as your instructions state that you must use boiled water that has cooled down for 30 to 40 mins at a temperature between 50 to 69 degrees.
The tommee tippee prep machine uses a hot shot of 70 degrees (slightly higher than your instructions). Will this affect the quality of your formula and kill the good nutrients and live cultures in the formula?

Hi! My 12 weeks old baby is on aptamil gold, she become very gassy and she wakes a lot because of the gas, I read some mums found out that bellamys helped with colic, there is any reason for this? Is gentle on their tummy? As is not a specific formula for colic I was wondering why some mums find bellamys helped with this problem. Thanks!!!

My 11 week daughter is currently drinking Amptamil Gold Plus. Since around 6 weeks she seems to have become very gassy and wakes herself up from what seems like wind pain. From 8 weeks we have been adding thickener to her formula (due to reflux) which has made this worse. How does Bellamy's Organic compare? Can I add thickener to Bellamy's Organic or is there a formula specically for reflux? Thank you!

Hello! I have recently switched my LO to Bellamy's but after our 2nd tin, I realised it does not contain pre and probiotics that are necessary for healthy guts. May I know if I can add probiotics to the milk? Thank you!

Hello! I understand your formula does not include DHA and AA due to the reasons stated on your site. I recently purchased a tin of Bellamy to try and plan on switching over to this brand. However, I am still pretty concern about the DHA component (which is deterring me from completely switching over) and would like to know if I could add fish oil drops into the formula and give it to my baby? Thank you! :)

Is it possible for Bellamy’s formula to be prepared like this - boil the water then pour into each individual bottle. Keep out of fridge at Room temperature then when ready to use, heat watered bottle in warmer then add formula and shake and serve.
I just don’t like having to make them all up for the day and have made formula sitting around in the fridge. I believe fresh is better

Hi Mums
My 8 week old is feeding 150mls of Bellamys infant formula plus I am adding half a scoop of aptimal thickener to the bottle and she drinks most of the bottle
Bellamys recommend amount for an 8 week old is 120mls.

My questions are
- should I add more thickener to 120mls to fill her up
Or
- make up 150mls of formula without the thickener and feed every 2.5 hours
- can I use the thickener for a long period of time

Thank you
