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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Please be assured that Blackmores infant nutrition products are still in production and readily available from all Chemist Warehouse stores. If you are about to run out, I suggest you call your local Chemist Warehouse to see if they have stock. They can order stock in for you from a nearby store if need be. Best regards, The Blackmores TeamThank you for this info! We have a Chemist Warehouse not far from us so that’s great.

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.

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
oping every 2-3 days) but when he does poo it’s been diarrhoea ever since using blackmores! So while it stopped the initial problems he had it added other problems so I will be changing from this formula.1 comment

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.

The best formula
I tried 3 different formulas which were S26, Novalac and Aptamil before using tjis formula for my son. This was by far the best! He started sleeping longer during the day and night, was more settled and didn't experience any reflux. He also stopped throwing up as much which was great!

Disappointed
After reading hundreds of positive reviews, I was excited for my baby to try this formula in hopes that it would help with his reflux. Unfortunately he was one of the very few babies it didn’t work for. Since trying it, he’s been a lot fussier, vomiting more and has become constipated. Just disappointed that it didn’t help him like it has helped so many other babies.

I'd buy the developer a drink in gratitude
My housemate had baby #1 a few months ago and she was really gassy. She asked me if I could grab some formula from the supermarket. Upon getting to Coles I relised I had no idea what one to get and didn't have my phone on me. I went with the Blackmores as it was a name I truested for myself as I use their vitamins (plus I can always return it)
New mum was very happy with my purchase. She hadn't used it before but after 3 days said she was a convert. She said bub was sleeping better, was less gassy and just seemed happier in general. She has been buying it exclusively now

Absolutely prefect for little tummys
This formula was our go to in our second week of being parents. Breast feeding wasn't working and we needed to make a decision ASAP. We settled on Blackmores due to the reviews and we are so glad we did. The formula is easy to make and didn't create air bubbles when we shook it. Our little one took to it instantly and trying to her wean her off breast milk was so easy with this. She never had bad wind with it unlike with breast milk and she slept through the night when she was finally exclusively formula fed with this. The massive advantage of ...Read more
buying this brand is the great customer service you receive when you call in to the company to ask questions. We were directed to a naturopath and were on the phone to the consultant for over an hour who gave us some amazing tips and tricks for parenting. We were so grateful for her friendship and her time at this stage where we had had no sleep for days. Sometimes the formula is hard to find as they no longer sell it in Coles, but the chemists always stock them!1 comment

Great for my baby!
I love how easy this is to prepare! It doesn't froth up and my little miss took to it from day one! She does get gas but I am not certain that is from the formula and it is not in any way excessive. To be honest her gas was worse breastfed then on formula. She hasn't once spewed this up and never gets an upset tummy from it. She is prone to eczema and has no reaction to this at all. Overall I love this formula and wish I had found it with her 2 older brothers who had issues with another brand.

Hello, my baby is 2 months old and has been breastfed in combination with Blackmores Newborn Formula since around 3 weeks of age. For the past 3 days I have increased her formula intake and she is opening her bowels over 5 times per day. I suspect an upset tummy but this morning her poos are green. Is it normal for formula to make green poo and to increase bowel movements?
2 answers
You'd have to consult your GP or local nurse for confirmation. I can say that my baby who has been on formula since a few days old has only ever had green poos and ticks all the boxes at the doctors office as far as happy and healthy goes.
Julie C.Blackmores
Hi,
How is your baby now? There is a wide range of normal when it comes to the colour and frequency of baby's bowel motions but if you notice a dramatic change or are concerned in any way, I would suggest that you have your baby assessed by a doctor.
If you have any questions, I am here to help. You can call on 1800 808 669 (freecall within Australia) or email [email protected].
