Mamia Gold Questions & Answers

Hi, I’m not qualified to recommend :) but I just researched the different brands, reviews and compared ingredients by looking at the back and made a call on which one felt right. We also tried one, than changed and really happy with alternative. I think all of them are very similar ingredients wise but differ in where they are produced, using organic ingredients, consistency etc

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.

Im sure they would not be able to sell this product if there were any bad chemicals added, the Australian and New Zealand standards for baby products are very high and i doubt they would pass if this is true.
If you are really concerned i suggest emailing the company directly as they will be able to answer all your questions directly.
I had both my girls in this formula both as follow on from breast feeding and i have had no issues with it what so ever, but in saying that the safety of our babies is always going to be number 1 priority so i would email the company directly

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 =)

Hi stacey? How long has bub been on stage 2 formula? Do you think bub is teething at the moment? Often teething can have a big effect on bowel movements :)

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.

Yes, I notice this as well and it too is upsetting my little man too :(

Yes, I too have found it really frothy. My little one has also become constipated.

I complained to aldi and they gave me a refund.. went back to step one. And now on cows milk

It's very bland and a little froth when shaken.
I have used both aldi, nan n s26 and my babies were fine. At the end of day aldi brand will save you money and also it's personal choice what your baby likes, I had no issues.

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 :)
