Love this formula
Love this formula, was using another brand but bub ends up with bad gas and farts stinks. So swap to this, powder dissolve easy and no more stinky farts. Fair price product as well.
Purchased in February 2021 for $26.00.

Happy baby what more can I say!
My baby had issues on NAN Opti Pro so I was looking for at alternative
Blackmore formulation is similar but not the same and I could see that from bubbys first feed she really enjoyed it. She just wanted more and more.
On Blackmore she has stopped screening between burps and can now take the bottle for longer between burps.
Shes now gone from holding in poos for days to soiled nappies at least 1-2 times a day
She’s so much happier thank you Blackmore!! Another great Australian company ...hard to find worth every penny!!!

Smells and tastes closest to my breastmilk
Smells and tastes closest to my breastmilk compared to so many other formulas we have tried. Little one is also very regular and not constipated or straining just to pass wind as seen with other formulas. Dissolves very well, no lumps left behind.
Purchased in October 2021 at Chemist Warehouse.

I have a newborn for 4 months we have been using the newborn formula as it is truly great, it is now out of stock!
It was perfect formula but so disappointed that it is out of stock as I trusted this brand so much!! Do you know how hard it is now to find a formula at 4 months old
Purchased at Chemist Warehouse for $28.99.

Thank you, but unfortunately selling it to China is not helping Australian families.

Great product!
My mum brought this for me while I was pregnant and I was unsure if I was gonna use it as a first time mum but I started using Blackmore formula occasionally to feed my son and I’d say his pretty satisfied with it

Keeps baby satisfied for longer overnight
Baby (2.5mo) regularly drinks a between 115-135ml of a serving between 10-11pm as a top up feed. Sleeps til nearly 4am after that. The rest of the day she is on breastmilk, and I give her 1 bottle of formula per day as a top up.
Formula dissolves easily in warm water.
Was on sale a few weeks ago, so stocked up.
Purchased in May 2021 at Chemist Warehouse Physical Store for $19.99.

Creamy and loved by baby
Baby enjoys this in comparison to 2 other popular formula brands out there. Finishes the whole serve.
No noticeable side effects, perhaps she doesn't poo as often as when she is on breastmilk. Sleeps well after. Easy to prep, scoop is a good size (2 scoops for 120ml), so it's less troublesome than another formula which requires 4 scoops per 120ml due to a smaller scoop provided.
I would repurchase.

Loved this product.
My son was originally on NAN and after him habing bad reflux we were advised to change formulas, we went to blackmores and were so happy. It was great while we were able to purchase it, it became harder to find and buy by the time my son was moving up to the 2 so we decided to cut it rather then keep looking and not finding it. I did also use to stock up when it was on sale which was quiet alot which was a big plus for me.

Little Bub Loves it
I was very apprehensive of putting my third baby onto a milk based formula after my first baby have a milk reaction (I put my second Bub straight on to soy!). With my third Bub I started straight into this formula and never looked back. I thought I would be going through the dramas of trying three or four different formulas, but this hasn't been great from the start.
Very important for us that it is made in Australia.
Shame Woolworths has stopped selling it, but can buy at Chemist Warehouse

Perfect
My kid started with another baby formula, which didn't suit her at all as she pukes just after having it every time. Then we started with black mores, luckily she liked this taste and loved drinking it. Obviously I read the reviews first as I already took the chance with the previous one which didn't worked well.

Great find!
I was unable to breastfeed and had to start my son on formula from the get go. We tried 4 different formulas (s26 Gold, Aptamil HA Gold, Nan Comfort and Aptamil AR), however he would either get extremely windy, constipated or get reflux.
I came across the Blackmores Infant formula at my local Chemist Warehouse and after reading the reviews decided to give it a go. Needless to say, my son is thriving on this formula. I should mention we also add a scoop of Aptamil thickener to his bottle as he seemed to prefer a thicker consistency after ...Read more
coming off the AR formula. I was disappointed to see Woolies isn't going to be stocking it anymore, however glad that Chemist Warehouse will continue to do so. This formula has been a game changer for us.1 comment

The best
My little girl was a preemie, we had so much trouble getting weight on her and we tried 6 different formulas.
This one saved us, she is putting weight on and has no nasty side effects. Blackmores really nailed it with this 1. I am forever great full. Unfortunately Woolworths have deleted this line. Chemist warehouse here I come.

Fantastic formula but sadly Woolworths are deleting!
We love this formula. Our baby is happy and growing well. After noticing it’s absence on the shelves at multiple Woolworths stores i sent a message to Woolworths who have replied sadly with “unfortunately we can confirm the Blackmores Formula Stage 1 900g has been discontinued from our stores. We always want to provide you with the products you'd like to see on shelves first and foremost so rest assured we will share this with the team for consideration at the following range review. Never say never.”
There should be some process where parents are warned in advance about this. Very upset. We will have to start looking for an alternate.

Nice
I have tried few different brands and this is the best one. It dissolve into cold or room temperature water ( others not really). And it taste really good. I can even use it as a normal milk powder for adults. There's so strange flavour. The price is not the most expensive in the market however it can still go cheaper. It doesn't always have promotion but hope there's more discount for Xmas season

My toddler loves the taste!
My toddler absolutely love this formula. We have used a few other brands but this one seems to be her favourite as she never leaves a drop! It is very easy to mix up with the measuring spoon including and easy to read instructions and it is loaded with lots of vitamins and minerals for growing babies. It is more expensive than some of the other formulas on the market but I think it is definitely worth paying the extra for. Thanks :)

Horrible
This formula sneaks up on you. No newborn child or any child should go through the pain from this formula. My poor baby has been screaming for almost 2 days because this formula makes him so constipated. I’m a first time mum and not knowing how to help my baby and crying with him because he’s in so much pain.
Not impressed at all.

Hard to find sometimes but worth the look!
This formula made our transition from breastfeeding very easy! But we have had times when we couldn't find a tin anywhere so we once had to travel out of state just for formula. It is also priced differently at every supplier but overall very happy with the product and would recommend it!

Good but bad!
I switched my baby to this formula as I’m doing a trial and error trying to find the right formula, my baby was throwing up a lot and not bringing up his wind at all on his previous formula so I tried blackmores, it completely stopped his spewing and he brang up his wind so easily! But unfortunately since being on this formula he has been sooo unsettled crying and screaming like he’s in pain and waking all through the night not sleeping properly and he is normally a very placid settled baby, on top of that he has a mild case of constipation (po...Read more

Not for my little boy
I like it made in Australia and the good ingredients. Thought it would be great for my bub like most of reviews but it's just not go well. My little boy become unsettled and reflux a lot more than other formula. I feel bad to see him suffering from vomiting so after feeding this formula half day, I changed back to the previous one. My boy become much better again.

Questions & Answers
Ashlee L.asked
My 7 week old son suffers from terrible gas. He gets very upset a lot during the day. So far we have tried 4 different formula mama without success. Is Blackmores a good formula for sensitive little tummies? Im desperate!
1 answer
I also tried more than hand-full different formulas, have found my 4m.old bb most suited to Blackmores newborn formula. Drinks it well, with regular daily poops. Mixes well and tastes better than the rest in my opinion. Even my other 7 yr old says she likes the taste and always wants her baby sis left overs....lolz! Only issue is the stage 1 for newborn is getting very popular now and may be hard to find. Blackmores has informed me that stock should come back in late December 2022.

My granddaughter is just over 2 weeks old, she started on Nan formula and was very settled but became extremely constipated Last Sunday my daughter changed her formula to Oli6 goats milk formula, she hasn’t bee anywhere near settled but up until today was having a bowel movement once a day. Today she seemed in a lot of pain when having a bowel movement even though it was quite pasty in texture - my daughter just doesn’t know what to do. My children were both bottlefed and had terrible trouble with constipation.
