Bellamy's Organic Formula Questions & Answers (page 3 of 7)

Will the take over by the Chinese company affect the availablity to the formula in Australia?

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?

Hi are there changes in the content of the formula on the new look of step 2 or is it just the packaging that has a new look?

My daughter is 3 years+, may I know she is suitable for Bellamy Step 3? What is the maximum age of taking Bellamy Step 3?

Hi,
My baby is 13 month's old and she eats baby food very well, however, she cries for milk bottle after baby food ( it seems sucking bottles gives some sort of comfort to her) . I recently changed her milk from stage 2 to 3 and she gets diarrhea when she drinks 200 mls of stage 3 at once, but if it's about 100 mls at each feeding, she seems ok.
I'd like to know what causes diarrhea from having a large amount of stage 3 and why stage 2 was totally ok no matter of the amout of milk.

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?

The new formula contains DHA, ARA and GOS. What is the source of these ingredients especially DHA? From organic fish oil? and what kind of fish? Should we worry about the mercury content?
Thanks.

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 does your formula contain lactoferrin?

Hi. I started my 5month old baby on this formula a few days a week so I could work without having to pump my milk. She loved it but 3 weeks in, she developed hives, and refused her bottle. So back to breast feeding full time. She is now 7 months old and is on solids, and has no issue with dairy. I’m wondering what else it is in this product that could most likely cause her hives?

My Bub is 6 months, and I would really like to try Bellamy’s organic 6-12 months. I’m using another brand at the moment but she keeps getting constipated I know some brands offer sachets to try before you buy a whole tin is this something your company offers. Thank you :)

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

I have been told that this formula is too high in protein and calories and babies tend to put on too much weight. Is this true?

When should i switch bub from step 2 to step 3? He has been on step 1 till about 9months and and we mixed step 1 with step 2 to slowly transition him. Now at almost 12months we are almost fully transition to step 2, but its also time for step 3.

What is the diff between step 2 & 3?

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

I m mixing 120 ml following feeding table, As my 10weeks old not able to take 120ml in 1 fed, Can I know how long can I store 1 fed for?

Hey my baby is 15 months old..I give him bellamy's organic formals no 3 (the toddler milk drink). But my husband by mistake bought no 4 (the junior milk drink). The label on the container says it is for the kids with 3+ age. So is it safe for him to drink it? Please reply asap

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?

Im wondering how comes everywhere is running out of stock of Bellamy at the moment . It never happened to me in the pass as the staff at chemist warehouse said it was low stock form supplier .

Hey guys, my baby isn’t liking the new formula, it’s really messing with her bowel movements. For 5 days she started soiling her nappies every 3 hours, and today she’s had solid stools! Poor baby has a red sore bottom and is finding it hard to sleep. She’s six months old and never had issues with the original Bellamy formula.

Wondering what formula you’ve gone to now that your babies aren’t coping with the new Bellamy formula?
