Blackmores Formula (page 3 of 4)

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

I love this formula, as does my son. The only issue i have is that Big W has stopped stocking it (it was $15) and purchasing it from woolworths or foodland is now around $30 a tin. Alot smoother consistency than some of the other brands I've tried him on. I haven't noticed any side effects

First formula tried for my son and due to his tongue tie, I was BF and formula feeding. Never had an issue doing both with this formula.
Easy to prepare, not thick and easily dissolves.
DS Had no problem with reflux or showed any discomfort and even while still BF, the taste didn't seem to effect him.
Highly recommend!

This is an amazing product. Aussie made, which is why I initially chose it.
Mixes almost instantly and isn't powdery or clumpy like other formulas.
We have had no issues at all with this formula and baby has been on Blackmores formula Stage 1 and Stage 2 for 10 months.
Highly recommend this for other babies.

My 2yr old only drinks this one now. She is fussy when any other formula is introduced. We have been using this for few moths now. I should have tried this a lot earlier.
It's got a very good consistency, low bubble formation and easily soluble in warm water.
Bit pricey but good for your bub. We buy it in bulk when its on sale.

This has to be the best formula by far and is worth paying the extra for (in nz). It mixes sooo much better than others and is never frothy. Looks creamier and richer than other formulas and my baby loves it! Wish it was for sale in more supermarket chains in nz. So far i can only find it at countdown.

My toddler is a fussy eater, he doesn't like meat - red meat, chicken or fish. With the Blackmores toddler milk I feel he's getting the nutrition in his milk from that he lacks in his diet. He loves the taste of the milk and perfers it to a bottle of cow's milk.

I had to mix feed from the beginning due to low supply of breast milk, the Blackmores baby formula has been an excellent substitute. We had no issues with wind or constipation, which is quite common with other major brands and it is made in Australia. I will happily continue using the Blackmores stage 2 formula and toddler milk.

Great formula, 100%love it. We would never feed our son formulas made by confectionery manufacturers or with milk sourced overseas. Blackmores is Australian made &even open about where its milk comes from, the transparency is reassuring. We like to buy Australian foods as they are better quality &support jobs here.

After breastfeeding for 6 months i switched my son to s26 gold formula which he was happy enough with, but unfortunately developed a skin rash so i decided to try other brands. Blackmore hands down was the best product

I switched around the 5 month mark to this after having a baby fussy with the previous ones I tried - just knew the difference between breast milk and formula.
This was great and we never had that fussiness. I'm now weaning her off the 12+ one given we won't be using bottles much longer.
My baby took all 3 stages well. Regular bowels, never any reflux/vomiting, great healthy weight gain.
Often went on sale at Safeway/coles which is a bonus too.
Really happy with it and I'll be going back to it again with my next baby.

Blackmores newborn formula is easy to prepare as the milk powder dissolves relatively easily in warm to hot water and doesn't leave any lumps. Our baby seems to like the taste and poos regularly (1-2 times a day). Blakmores also tend to go on 50% sale more often than other brands, so it's economical if you stock up during sales.

My boy was enjoying it was farting abit often though.
He likes to drink and trust this brand but except the brand name..Im not sure what is the specialty of this powder.
So I was trying other brand formula too~however wanna going back cuz other powders hard to dissolve so i need to shake enough then..become too much bubbles compare to blackmores. Doesn't have much bubbles so It is good for wind in my case.

However..seems like hard to find stage 2 now...I need to chane soon to stage 2 but cannot find it. I cam see only Newborn or Stage 3 from the shop.

we got a tin at the baby and toddler show to try with by picky toddler. we had tried him on other toddler milk and he wasn't a fan, but he loved this one and kept asking for more bottles. Its easy enough to use and means toddler is finally getting the extra dairy he needs (doesnt like real milk)

The only formula I have tried where the powder dissolves in water that has cooled a bit and is not boiling. Moreover, it doesn't leave that oily/ fat residue in the bottle that other formulas do which is really difficult to clean, making it easy to wash the bottle afterwards.

Fantastic as a top up formula - I have been using this for a month and use it to "top up" my third baby at about 6pm every night. I breastfeed throughout the day and night and just use this once a day and have found it to be effective for him!

It's a great formula . We chose that because it's from Australia and new, it wouldn't be any shortage but there's a shortage on stage one and 2 ATM. Bigw and woolies in my area don't have any . Contacted blackmores on Facebook - no one has replied yet although the message has been read . it's pricy on the website . Guess would have to stop supporting Australian baby formulas and go with the New Zealand ones .

We got a tin of this formula from a friend, since then we buy this when it's on special. My kids love the taste and it has by far give no side effects to my kids nor give constipation. It's very easy to prepare and not foamy as other brands.

Finally, I have found a formula that my toddler will drink. I only use this formula as a supplement now as we have made the switch to cows milk. I have weaned my toddler down to one formula drink a day and I have had no troubles with accepting this brand. I even sprinkle on fruit and make smoothies for the baby.

This formula is very easy to prepare and can be used as one of the ingredient to nutritious breakfast or snack like smoothie. It has a nice taste, my two years old son enjoys it. He drinks it every day during 6 months and we don't notice any side effects

This formula was great to start off with but then after a few weeks of being on it bubs started to get really bad reflux I have no idea why so I'm going to try switching to a different brand
It blends really well doesn't froth and is also made in Australia which is why I chose it in the first place, other then the reflux part i was happy with it to begin with hope others don't have the same problem :(

The formula easy to prepare weather at home or outside. It does not produce lots of lumps here and there. My baby seems to enjoy the blackmore gold formula a lots! I also like the formula smell when i prepare it for her. We are deffinately will stick with this formula.

Blackmores is a big enough brand famous for quality products, and the constant half price sale has attracted me to try it. My daughter loved it from the first moment. As we were switching from another brand it gave her diarrhoea for about 3 days and then it settled. Checking the ingredients I was happy to see it had dha added to it as it is an essential nutrient for kids development. When this first came to the market I felt it was overpriced but as of today it is much more affordable than other big brands. Very happy with it.

I am not the primary user but my daughter was. She just drink everything every time we offer.

no side or bad effect, she has been using it for 6 months until she transit to cow milk.

Price wise it is not too expansive. I would recommend this product to everyone

I got a sample from my relatives and my son tried and he like it so we bought couple tins when it was on special price.
He drink it everyday, no problem at all, smell good, taste good, alot of vitamin so recommended to give it try for your toddler!

Received a sample from my son's childcare. My son tried it and drank it so fast compared to other formulas, so I bought the tin at Woolworths when it was on special and he drinks it every day. No constipation issues, very happy with this formula.

The formula is easy to prepare. It has all the instructions and guidelines on the can packaging. My baby even seem to enjoy it and finds it filling throughout the night. There is no side effect in my baby as she drink the formula. It is healthy and the brand is well known .

I tried a few formulas and my baby was most comfortable and settled with Blackmores, which was a huge relief. I have had no trouble what so ever with this formula. I am very pleased. Cincotta chemist has it on special for $13!! Ive stocked up for the next 3 months. Very happy Mummy!

This gave my son severe acidic reflux. It may or may not of been the fault of this formula but this was one of the worst i have tried unfortunately. I tried 5 different ones and this was extremely bad for my son. Sorry guy's. I'm not rating it bad or good as i said it may not of been the formula itself.

My third child is almost 4 months old and i decided from birth i was going to mix feed him like i did my other 2 children. With my first 2, finding a formula that didn't upset their stomachs was such a nightmare. I came across Blackmores and decided to try it considering the brands reputation with vitamins etc and it was fantastic!
When i first baught this formula it was quite pricey at $30 a tin but now at bigw its $15.
The issue now is im finding it hard to find. Woolies and coles around me doesn't sell it anymore, my local bigw doesn't stock much and its so much more expensive at Chemist Warehouse.

I was very excited to use this formula so much so i brought 3 tins, though my boy seemed to enjoy it ( the taste) it unfortunately gave him constipation. I then moved to 2s6 origianl and as of today have had to move to novalac constipation
Not faulting the brand

This formula was easy to transition from breast milk. The taste is pleasant ( I tried it myself), it is easy to mix and my baby enjoys drinking it. Goes on special at your coles and woolworths every now and then so if money is a concern you could always stock up on special.

Terrible Indigestion for 24 hours after giving no more than 20 ml from this formula. My baby have only 2werks and to see him like that was very hard for me. I decided to buy this formula precisely because I sow good reviews on this web site.Never I use it again, actually now after this ugly experience I don't thrust in any other formula.
Not recommending.

This formula perfect for my son as my son had constipation with s26 gold, Blackmore Newborn formula is perfect didn't have any issue at all. Price of this formula also reasonable, most of the time u can buy around $20 (discounted )from some stores like Big W, chemist wharehouse, COLES.

As a First time mother, I was overwhelmed by the amount of formulas on the market. So glad I chose to try this one. It's easy to prepare, my son loves it and most importantly he has very minimal to no stomach upsets. He's putting on optimal weight and is a healthy, happy boy.

We have been so happy with blackmore formula it was the only one our son didnt have any problems with he suffered from reflux when he was younger and was put on a reflux formula that upset his tummy so much i couldnt bare seeing him in pain so went straight back to blackmores and he was his happy self again highly recommend this product its easy to use but most importantly baby loves it

Good choice of formula, our daughter likes it and it doesn't causes her any issues or negative side effects. She had problems digesting s26 which gave her constipation, distress and discomfort, by comparison this formula is the best and we will continue to use.

Reasonably priced, have recently purchased from big w for $15 online, this level of discounting will probably continue due to what is likely excess inventory due to blackmores failed marketing strategy in China.

I'm not someone that normally leaves reviews on products but I wanted to make mention of Blackmores Infant Formula because I am so impressed. After having issues with other more longstanding brands we tried Blackmores. It mixes beautifully where other brands would be frothy which my baby rejected. He has been more regular on Blackmores and seems to have less stomach issues. This really feels like a premium product and of higher quality than other brands that charge price premiums

The formula is easy to prepare, but baby didn't enjoy the taste at all. Baby reacted horribly to this formula, after his feed he started gagging and started having reflux. It's hard for baby to digest, and an overall No-No. This isn't a product I would recommend to anyone unless they want their baby to suffer from indigestion and reflux.

Super easy to prepare. I never got lumps even if used with cold water.
My little boy just loves it and won't drink anything else.. We tried couple of other brands like Devondale, S26 etc but he just wants Blackmores.. Now he has graduated to the Level 2 and still it is his preferred brand.
