The Best Product ever!

My little girl had silent reflux and i read all the blogs online on what is the best reflux formula and this was recommended.



My little girl was waking every 30mins day and night and after the first bottle of the novalac she slept for 6 hours!!! and it has just gotten better from there.

I can not recommend this product highly enough this truly was a life saver!!!Get this product!
It works instantly!!

My son used for about 1 month but became easily constipated. From our experiece he also had quite a break out in eczema from using this formula.
Prevented spit up (posetting) after feeds, created by a trusted medical brand.
Created constipation quite often, only available at pharmacies and rarely discounted.

Such a relief!

Has certainly slowed my 5 month old baby's spitting down!

published

Tried this after 5 fantastic months on Karicare Goat 1. Something changed at 5 months, and my son just couldn't keep the Karicare Goat down- so we switched to this after reading the reviews here.

I recommend preparing this in a bottle with a lid, shake the heck out of it, and then put a teat on. Much less blockage with the teat. Never too much of an issue however- if the teat blocks, just shake again and it usually cleared it enough for my son to finish his bottle.

Still have a bit of spitting, but absolutely no smell, and it's about half of what it used to be.

Staying on this formula for now!
Son loves it, less spit up!

I'm not at all happy with this formula and after posting this I'm going to attempt to get a full refund. A real let down and a shame that mothers who already are having difficulties with feeding have to go through more dramas.
I don't really like anything about it.
I was really dissapointed with this formula. My baby has bad reflux and this is the third type we have used in 9 weeks! Its the most expensive formla and isn't worth the price. This has actualy made her reflux dramaticly worse. It has suffed her routine and she is now waking during the night. As others have stated the scoop is a real pain.

My bub was vomitting and losing every feed, his GP suggested trying it. Im glad we did as he isnt nearly as bad. We still have some days where he may vomit but its nothing like it used to be. I find that reducing the intake of fluid on those days is all it takes, little and often approach. Overall very happy we found it.
Thickens in the tummy just as tin describes, and the reflux has lessened.
I can onyl get it at specific chemist. Gregs chemist always has alot of them and they arnt that expensive there.

We love this product our bubs is very happy on this formula. I have found a way to make up bottles a little easier, boil the kettle, let it sit in the kettle for half an hour, pour water in bottles and leave for another half an hour and shake, it seems to dissolve a lot easier this way.
This formula is great, it has stopped our baby's reflux but he still does vomit on it.
It's hard to find places that stock this product but the Chemist Warehouse has this formula on sale when it's in stock. At first it was difficult to work out the best way to make up bottles with this formula as it's extremely difficult to dissolve it all.

Was our life saver!!!

Dr gave us Novalac Reflux to try as my son had reflux. I didnt want to try it as it was more expensive as the shop brand formulas.. After trying a few different shop formulas.. I relented and tried Novalac Reflux.. I havent looked back. It helped immediately!!!! I was scared it would make him constipated but so far we havent had a problem. (And we have been on it for about 5 weeks)
Worked immediately. It goes down "thin" and "thickens" in their stomach
It can only be bought at Chemists and is quite pricey.. You also cannot make it up before hand as it thickens as it gets cold. Small price to pay for such good results

Really Works

published

After seven different doctors telling us different things the only thing which really worked with our daughters eating/vomiting pain etc was this formula. We prepare the bottles to room temp and that seems to work just fine. Although the formula is a little more expensive than some and is not always readily available in all chemists (this is not a formula you can buy in Woolworths and Coles - in Darwin anyway), it is worth a shot where you have a child who appears to have eating problems.
Ease of use, the fact my daughter is happy on it feeding well and has regular bowel movements (which can he hard with some formulas!)
Is a little expensive but worth it.

It didn't help bubs reflux (which is why is was on it) so I changed to a different formula and now bubs is happy.
product didn't thicken in the bottle and block the teat.
It didn't help my baby's reflux, formula was too runny so he would still posset alot, very expensive compared to other brands and can only purchase at chemists.

I love this formula. It did not cure our baby of reflux (not that we expected it to) but it really did help with the vomiting. Tastes the closest to breast milk and baby really enjoyed it. Highly recommend this product.
Great for reflux. Really helped my baby with her constant vomitting. Tasts great compared to other formulas. Baby loved it also.

A good solution to a baby's upset tummy, we used this when bub was first on forumla and having issues with tummy upsets. Although we didn't stick with it (and found it caused a few toilet issues) it was a good starter.
Stopped reflux just as the tin described, my doctor suggested it and we were really happy with the result, seems to be gentle on the bub's tummy, decent price
It isn't able to be found in any of the supermarkets near me, so requires a specific trip to the pharmacy, the small scoop you use to get the formula out is a little irritating

absoloutely love this formula. after alot of trial and error this was the formula that worked for us. as the formula thickens in bubs stomach it has stopped the severe reflux he had on other formulas leaving us with a happy settled bub. it also did not constipate him like some of the other formulas we've tried. i would happily recommend this product and will happily use it if we have another bub.
prevented reflux, thickens in babies stomach not in the bottle which made baby drink it more easily,
only available at a chemist, more costly than other brands, cant make prepared bottles and leave in fridge

I switched to this from Novalac Colic formula, once Reflux took over as a noticeable problem for our baby. I preferred to not switch to another brand because I was happy Novalac seemed gentler on my baby's stomach previously with their colic formula. Once reflux was no longer an issue when bub was older, I was grateful however to move baby to a cheaper brand formula that had formula sachets/boxes in their line.
A reflux product on the market that gave a noticeable improvement in my baby's reflux. Noticeably thicker than normal formula.
Difficult to find everywhere.
Costly compared to other formulas.
Shame Novalac don't sell pre made formula sachets/boxes for travel.
