Only formula that helped the reflux
This formula is easy to prepare at relatively the same quantities as other formulas and baby seemed to enjoy the taste. Incidence of reflux related behaviour reduced up to 95%, some constipation but this is common with ALL reflux type formulas as thet are thicker. Tried other reflux formulas and this was by far the best.

Great for baby's with reflux
The instructions are easy to read, it takes 7 scoops to 210 mils water. I would recommend getting larger bottels to use this formula. My son enjoyed the formula overall. I enjoyed the fact it didn't smell really gross compared to other types of reflux formula and didn't overally thicken in the bottle, rather in his tummy. He had no issues whilst on this formula.

Life saver!!!
My son had a really bad reflux. He was on S26 and than I switch to Nan. Both formulas gave him really bad reflux accompanied by painful gas and green pu. It was horrible to watch him he was suffering soo much.
I finally got a hands on Novalac Reflux. I was hesitant to start him on another formula but I was desperate to try to help him so he feels better.
Within couple of days he still spit out but it was far away from the amount he used to. He felt more comfortable after feeding, finally very content and happy baby. Also his sleep improved, he was very calm and settled immediately .
Looking back I wish I start him on Novalac Reflux earlier but as a first time mum you learn as you go.

Formula
I bought my first tin of the novalac reflux formula yesterday for my 12 week old son and so far it seems to be working quite well. He was previously on s26 anti reflux formula but was still throwing up quite a bit so the doctor recommended novalac. He is still throwing up a little bit but nothing like before.

Excellent
Our son was on the Aptamil Gold AR for his reflux and he was good for a while and then started to spew a lot of it up with also having constipation. The regurgitation was just the normal posetting that is suppose to be normal it was a lot. Our doctor preach us with Zantac and Novalac and so far so good. My son is more calmer without the wind pains. Poos regularly and doesn't bring up too much of his milk now. This product is quite good. I recommend changing teats to a two whole so that the milk goes through better and definitely mix the formula through with hot water first.

8 months and still on it
My bub is 8 months now and I havent switched to normal fomula mainly because im not sure how it would be on her tummy. She sleeps well but still wakes up after a good 6-8 hours stretch for milk.
I have to make sure the water is the right temperature though other wise it would go lumpy.

Bub loves it!
This formula is a bit tricky to prepare because you have to have the correct water temperature otherwise it will not mix well. My bun used to power chuck her milk when she was on nan but this formula has helped lessen it - she's 7 months now but still chucks a bit but definitely not as much as before and she sleeps well too. She had some issues with being constipated after few weeks of being on it but i found that if I add extra 10ml of water to the bottle It does help.

Finally getting Sleep
Such a big difference with in 12 hours happy baby. Our second 3 week old little darling is suffering silent reflux and we were getting 2-3hrs sleep a night so glad we got in to see the doctor yesterday. Feel bad that we hadn't seen the doctor sooner. have found the formula to be a little too thick for the avent teat size 1, size 2 is working.

Great Product
My little one had silent reflux and is also a little colicky. We decided to give Novalac Reflux a go before trying Novalac Colic. Our baby took to the formula straight away and we noticed a positive change in her in just shy of a week of using this formula. It's also helped a little with her colic. We did try her on Novalac Colic once her reflux had disappeared however she hated the stuff. The only downside to this formula is that it is very thick. Although the info on the tin says that it thickens in the tummy, not the bottle, I found that I h...Read more
ad to change the teat to the next stage up to get the formula flowing through as it would clog up. An easy fix, so overall, love this product. Doesn't work for all little ones. But very happy it worked for mine.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Lifesaver!! Never going back
Tried S26, Nan Comfort, Bellamys and nothing agrees with Bub like Novalac.. We've used both colic and reflux formulas and they have been so gentle on his tummy, his poos are healthy and yellow, no real issues with constipation either. Great for reflux we have no spews on this stuff! But he power chucked everything else!! Easy to prepare and has a convenient smaller scoop for more precise measuring! Thank you Novalac

Saved our sanity!
My son has been on this for 7 months due to reflux. He was spewing most of his bottle up after every feed he even had it coming out of his nose! We switched to Novalav reflux and have never looked back! I chose this formula because it thickens in the stomach and not in the bottle. Bubs was premmie had exhausted himself quickly during feeds so I didn't want anything thicker which may have made it harder for him to suck and swallow. This formula is slightly thicker when prepared when compared to a normal formula but still no where as thick as all...Read more
the other reflux formulas and baby had no trouble drinking it through a variable flow teat. We noticed improvement within 24 hours. Our baby still vomits a little bit but it's now manageable and not bothering him like it was before using Novalav reflux. Before switching baby could not even lie flat in bed and aspirated his vomit twice and was hospitalised! That has never happened on Novalav reflux! It is prepared like regular formula using lukewarm boiled water and can be made up in advance and stores in the fridge well. If you use water that is too hot it will go lumpy! You must let the water cool after boiling. After consulting with our GP clinic nurse and pediatrician we have not worried about using a follow on formula as this one is suitable for birth to 12 months! I would highly recommend Novalav reflux formula! It is a bit more expensive and only sold in chemists but well worth it! Hope this review helps your decision for your precious Bub.Similar opinion?

Good but not great
This did slow down and lessen the reflux, but didn't stop it or reduce it as much as I would have liked. It also constipated my baby and generally wasn't any better than a non-reflux formula. She did however like the taste. Not readily available though. Hard to get in a country town. Pricey compared to other formulas.

Works a treat
Easy to prepare, shake for 30 seconds. This formula thickens in stomach, however we did need to go up a teat size to accommodate the thicker consistency. After 4 days, my daughter has less vomiting and is generally more settled. Has caused her some constipation, otherwise i highly recommend this formula.

Highly recommend
Happy happy, We were advised by our doctor to try Novalac Reflux when bub was a week old at first i wasn't happy she seemed more constipated however doctor told us to preserve with it give her water between feeds and if needed constipation drops .
Took nearly a month but she started pooing normal but right from the start she was a happier settled baby .
Happy settled 3 month old little girl who sleeps through the night certainly makes for happy parents.

NO smelling vomit!!!
We tried several different AR formulas before finding Novalac. The majority of AR formulas thicken in the bottle making it difficult to get out unless going up teat sizes however Novalac thickens in baby's belly so it's easy for you to drink down. The biggest thing I noticed with Novalac was that IF she spit up (which is rare) it wasn't smelly like every other formula and her poo's turned back to the colour and smell (tmi) as the breast milk feeds she was on. She was a much happier baby who was getting better sleep. We will continue using this formula until 12 months!

loved it now hate it!
I'm sad to say that i once loved Novalac reflux for my now 6 month old! She was on it since she was 2 weeks old and it worked great! But when she was about 4 months i noticed right away it wasnt agreeing with her and the texture of the formula felt different and more grainy (would just fall apart when it normally would make almost make a perfect mold of the scoop when putting in the bottle or on the go storage container) and it wouldnt mix properly anymore and clog the teat everytime!
They have either changed the formulation or its a bad batc...Read more

Great, so far
We are only on our 3rd bottle using Novalac Reflux and already my Bub has not thrown up. He had colic for a month until we tried Novalac Colic, which worked greatly in our favours. It was worth every cent but once he wasn't in pain any more we decided it was time to move on from the Coloc formula and try the Reflux as he was still vomiting after every feed at least 3 times. Now after 3 bottles not one bit of sick. Will defiantly have an update at the end of our first tin to see how it goes.

Great! SO glad I got it
I went through a few regular formulas and bub was very spewey and refluxy. Finally gave in and tried this, and I am so happy. We've used it for about 10 weeks now and although she still chucks every now and again, she's not constipated and she's not crying in pain. If she ever gets a little constipated, I just add 10mls of water to the bottle and its all OK. Other AR formulas just made bub constipated and then they blocked the teat, but this is opposite.

Improved baby
I have just switched to this as my 2.5-week-old has suffered on brand: s26, with reflux and severe constipation. After a day of hysteria we bought Novalac Reflux and she has already seemed so much more settled. She even suddenly drinks for the bottle without making so much noise. Perhaps as this formula is smoother and slightly thicker.
I hope to report back if I see any negative changes but so far so good!
