We only lasted 24 hours.

I wish I read the negative reviews because my baby experienced the same. He became very spewy and after only a day on this formula, he could not sleep because he was in so much pain. He would scream and then do a massive burp, even after being properly burped. He slept half an hour over the whole day and he's only 12 weeks old, because he was so uncomfortable. I know all babies react differently to each formula but this was by far the worst we've tried.

Baby loves it

published

This baby formula is pretty good and my little niece loved it. Easy to prepare, milky and smells so yummy. It has all essential vitamins a baby needs. Baby does not bring it back up. She seemed to absolutely love it. This formula is same effective as other brands and this brand is half the price of other expensive brand.

Excellent formula, Love it.

published

As an Australian my first choice and trust would be our own product. I know this formula is new in this industry. But what an invention!!! Silky milk, smells so yumm. Has all essential vitamins a baby needs. I will recommend everyone to try this.
But one thing is upsetting, company should supply more to retailers. That's it.
Hope they will do that.

Really great quality.

published

Was really happy with this formula and would recommend it to anyone wondering if they should give it a go. Easy to prepare, my baby ate all of it and ice mixed, it was heavy enough to keep her sated & asleep through the night. On this formula my baby ate less often but would have more in one sitting, usually finishing the whole bottle prepared and sometimes needing another one. Bubs was more settled, happy and gained weight steadily with Blackmore's.

Used this Forumla with both my breastfeeding babies. I Breastfed to 10 months with both children, and used blackmores every now and then when needed and then the next stage up for weaning. Both children had no issues from drinking breast to drinking blackmores Forumla. Was happy with this product. No reflux for them at all. Was even better when I found it on special too haha

Great formula

published

I initially bought this one for my newborn to change from S26 Gold that I was using because it was too rich for him. It was easy to prepare as it was the same with S26 Gold. I was worried if he wouldn't like the taste with another brand but he had no problems taking the bottle and had less puke so it was great! Didn't notice any side effects so I continued feeding him till he was six months old.

I bought this formula for my newborn as it was on special at one of the supermarkets. It was reasonably priced compared to the others on the market. The formula was easy to prepare, you only need room temperature water. My baby enjoyed the taste, and drank it with no side effects. It is readily available at supermarkets and chemists.

Perfect for baby with colic. Well-priced.

published

Tried many different baby formulas before we landed on this product. This product was perfect for my daughter who had colic when she was a baby.
Baby loved the formula and did not cause constipation or spewing.
Easy to prepare and well-priced, highly recommended for fussy-formula-drinkers and baby with colic.

Very happy with this formula

published

Formula is easy to prepare, measurement aid included in the tin.
My baby takes it well as used as a top-up after being breastfed. Baby does not bring it back up. Baby takes a bit longer to digest it and pass it through than breastmilk but I understand that’s normal when using formulas.
Baby has had good, healthy weight gain with this formula.

Chep and the best

We have used few different brands of baby formulas in past 18 months, most of the good formula they are very expensive, and results are good as well but this formula is Same effective as other brands or I would say other expensive brands and this brand is half the price of other expensive brand.
unfortunately we can’t find this brand anymore in Australia..

Great price but terrible for constipation

published

It's hard to say this was just applicable for our child but we had been using Aptamil since birth for our little one and she was always fine. We switched to the Blackmores newborn formula and realized bubs became terribly constipated. To the point it was painful for her to pass stools and when she did, there was a bit of blood from tearing. Switched formulas back to Aptamil and have had no problems since. It';s a shame because the Blackmores is so much cheaper though :(

Good

published

Frequent breastfeeding will provide nipple stimulation and help to increase a mother’s milk supply to meet the needs of her growing baby, so it may be difficult to return to full breastfeeding if parents decide to partially formula feed a breastfed baby. So this is a great product, I recommend

What an amazing formula!

published

I’m mainly breast feeding my baby, but he feeds A LOT which makes it hard for me to get any rest at all, he’s a super hungry baby, so I got myself a tin of blackmores newborn (I take blackmores vitamins, so I already trust them) to feed during the night, At first I thought 60ml per one scoop of formula was going to make the water super thick.. just the opposite! It blended so fast into a silky milky drink! Gave that to him just before we all went to sleep and he stayed asleep for 5 and a half hours!! Normally I get a good 2 hour gap before he stirs again! He seemed to absolutely love it and it gave me and my partner a longer sleep.. thank you blackmores!! Best formula ever!!!

Wish I had of tried sooner

published

As a new mum I heavily relied on what was recommended to me but my baby just wasn’t taking to the popular brands.

I called the Blackmores hotline while comparing brands in the supermarket as I had a few questions. They were so helpful and I purchased the formula. Never looked back.

This tastes so much better than competitor brands and I now realize why my baby didn’t like the taste of the ones I originally tried.

Good substitute for breastmilk

published

I'm familiar with Blackmores brand for many years and almost 2 years I have been feeding my older son with Blackmores formulas. Now I introduced it to my little bubba who is only 3 months old. And definitely he likes it too. Great taste, affordable price, no problems with little tummy and pretty easy to prepare

After breastfeeding issues and finding the right formula (tried about 5 different formulas) for our 6 week old, blackmores newborn was the best. Bub had no troubles at all and sleeps all night. Highly recommend. Happy baby, Happy Parents.
Bub is nearly ready for stage 2. Which is very hard to find....I presume the asians are buying up big and selling onto china....which is SO WRONG in many ways and should BE STOPPED!!

Very spewy

published

I found this Formula was very easy to prepare and my little one took a while to drink it but it made him very spewy for a while after and very unsettled and also you have to make it by 60ml which is hard when my little one drinks 200ml

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
Nita
Nita

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.

Blackmores
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].
