Mamia (Aldi) Gold 1 Questions & Answers

Yes

Green yeah

I used 1 till 6 month. I think better to ask from a health practitioner

Mamia is an Aldi brand so it's not available anywhere else. Australian made which is a bonus. It's a great formula and a lot cheaper then the more popular brands like NAN, Aptamil, S-26 etc available from Coles/Woolies.

Feeding that regularly at that age is completely normal. They tend to eat more when they're going through growth spurts.
Formulas are all mostly the same so it really won't make much difference giving different formulas.

Funny u should say that because I noticed the same thing with my bub n the aptimal gold 1
Thought I was seeing things bubs 6 n never seen it b4

It’s common for bubs to get little pimples all over their face early on due to hormones =)

Milk pimples are standard...

It's definitely ok. The thing is, stage 1 formula is easier to digest than stage 2. So your bulbs might feel hungrier if you still give stage 1 for 6months+. In this case you can give your Bub more bottle of milk than when he/she is under 6mos.

Thanks Charish Klein.

To my knowledge, the protein in cow's milk is always bigger than human's therefore baby is fuller for longer than breastmilk so won't do any harm. And remember their serve is bigger than other formula too 1 scoops to 60 ml. I do breastmilk then top up with formula. Honestly this is the best formula so far for my Bub. She put on 700g every 2 weeks, sleeps through the night. No constipation just her soiled nappies are greenish yellow which the Dr told us it's perfectly normal. It's irons apparently.

Protein is not what causes us to feel full for longer, complex carbohydrates are. The suggestion that formula keeps babies fuller than breastmilk is an 80's urban myth that keeps doing the rounds and really should be debunked. It is terrible advice causing some women to stop breastfeeding thinking they'll get a good night's sleep.

My daughter has been on it for about 3 months now and she's 9 months old. She loves it. We were always on S26 Gold, but decided to change as its so much cheaper and we do our normal grocery shop at ALDI. She loves it and is thriving on it.

Hi there, have you checked the whole tin? Sometimes they're down deep. I wouldn't use the Nan scoop as they might be different. Take the Mamia back is it doesn't have a scoop! Sounds faulty. Good luck!

I agree with Holly.i think sometimes the tins get shaken up and the scoop gets buried. Though I'm fairly sure nan's scoop size is 8g, but not sure about Mamia. It normally says it on the tin somewhere. I honestly don't think it would hurt for one bottle to be a little it out of whack though, but I'd get it sorted as quick as possible if I were you. Too much formula, they get constipated, too little formula, and they miss out on important nutrients... And if you do it often enough, it can be very bad for baby.

Dig down!! It's in there!! If not buy another tin and use that scoop!! No the Nan scoop isn't the same size :)

It is an Aldi product that is made in Australia. I believe it's repackaged Heinz baby formula. 900g tin for $14.95.

From your local Aldi store

I live in Adelaide so we don't have an Aldi store but I'll look into the Heinz one :)

All babies are different so what works for me may not work for you but definitely my boy doesn't spit up as much on this formula, try some mylanta if nothing else works :)

Hi. Yes my babies poos dark green too. I didn't really notice it being offensive though. Seems to be common with some formula's probably iron. Doesn't really change in color though, probably stay dark green. Other than that i still not have issues with formula. Some babies no matter what have trouble with digestion of milk proteins and may need to see paediatrician to go on prescription formula as proteins pre broken down. Good luck. Don't let the green poo put you off!.

Hi Merilyn, I believe they are comparable products! Having all if not more of the nutrients of s26. My eldest had s26 formula and if I could go back and swap I would :-) great formula, good for bubs tummy, not frothy and doesn't cause excess wind. I also read reviews before trying it, and couldn't be happier. Good luck :-$

As far as quality of formula they are on par, baby was full, milk wasn't watery and babies poos were normal and regular however the aldi one doesn't small like off cheese like s26 gold!!

It depends on the age of you baby. To give you a rough idea you get 102 scoops per tin.

1 month old baby - 12 scoops per day - 6 feeds
4 month old baby - 15 scoops per day - 5 feeds
6 month old - 15 scoops per day - 5 feeds

So one tin lasts roughly a week-9days. It works out the same amount as the karicare aptimal but around $5 cheaper per tin as its made locally and not imported.
