This formula was the only thing that suited my reflux baby, however they’ve just started making it in Mexico and the formula isn’t the same. It’s clumpy, doesn’t dissolve as well and sediment falls to the bottom of each bottle. I’m so disappointed. I’ve done the rounds and bought up all of the tins I could find manufactured in NZ but after they’re gone I’ll have to switch brands.

Hi
I would love to provide tangible feedback, however I was on hold for 20 mins this morning and so I gave up. I really was a fan of your old formula

My son had this from birth and never had one issue with this brand! Great on newborn bellies. Very filling and appears to be great tasting! My boy loved the newborn formula

Never had any issues with this formula, easy to make, not clumpy.
No side effects.
Baby seems to be enjoying formula and drinking fine with the newborn one. Will change her at 6 months to the s26 6-12months.

We tried s26 gold first, unfortunately this did not agree with my little ones stomach changed over to karicare from recommendations but Bub didn’t like the taste. S26 Original has been amazing. My daughter is finally finishing all her bottles and is back on track. Highly recommend s26 original.

After trying a couple of different formulas after stopping breastfeeding, s26 original is the only one that didn’t upset my baby’s stomach and cause constipation. He definitely loves his food and formula so will be keeping him on this until the change to cow milk

I have been using S26 for over 15 years with all of my children and my mother used it for me and my siblings... I have never had an issue with this formula... S26 is a trusted household name... It's easy to prepare, and good value for money... Would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone planning to bottle feed their baby

Our baby Zoe had the new born formula for a few weeks which was okay. It made her poo a bit hard but not too bad, so we tried the S26 Gold- Delicate Eze (purple tin) for 3 weeks. Her poo was great. 4 days ago we changed to S26 Original - Progress. She is so badly constipated now we are going to take her to see a nurse tomorrow.
I'm not saying this happens to all babies. Just how our baby reacts to this formular.
Before we used formular she was breast fed.

Tried the S26 gold first, but baby had difficulty with constipation, switched to the original and nil issues. Baby enjoys it without side effects, growing well and price is good. It is confusing buying formula as so many options but at the end of the day they are all safe and baby will thrive on it, just have to find one that suits baby and just stick with it.

Price is lower than many other brands and always available on the shelf. Cold or room temperature water does not dissolve the powder. Had to be warm water. The taste is ok not as weird as the new born stage. After opening only 4 weeks and can't be stored in freezer like other brands to extend life.

Our little one is 2 weeks old and having issues with allergy for the last 3 days; mainly around the faces. After consultation with St John of God we have two options; for now we will trial on S26 Original due to a lower Iron content.
The preparation is the same as our previous formula; 60mL per scoop
Our little one got no issue with the new formula, the feeding still the same, but the best part the allergy starting to reduce.

My daughter has been drinking s26 since she was 4months as she didn’t take to my breastmilk, I was mix feeding her from 4-6 months and after 6 months she took to the formula so well that she no longer wanted breastmilk so I decided to give her formula and solids, she’s never has any problems with this formula.
She enjoys drinking it and it’s easy to prepare, it doesn’t clump in the water, it dissolves easily and quickly, I don’t have to shake it much, it’s really good when preparing it on the go, when you need a milk quickly I find s26 is smooth and easy. Couldn’t be happier.

I purchased s26 original newborn for my son, he took to it great and then we went in to purchase the progress stage for him . Now with our second child, we have brought it again . It is quick and easy to make up and we have had no bad side effects .

This product is easy to prepare. I bought this to fill in gaps between breast feeding as my son is a massive eater and very demanding. I want to keep breast feeding... so this is a perfect price point and a quality product to meet our current new born needs.

After trying a few different formulas that didn't agree with my son's tummy, this one is the only one that was gentle enough without making him constipated. Very easy to prepare and no frothing.
The scoop sizes come in 60ml incriments which is a good size for us. Definitely recommend.

Have found this formula to work well for us, baby has been mix fed since birth - I had GD and babies blood sugar came back too low on third reading. Hospital gave baby formula to boost blood sugar and we took note of the brand - S26 regular. Have mix fed now for 10 months and no issues ever. Have avoided gold as extra iron isn’t an issue for us.

This formula caused constipation and our baby was very upset and sore. As soon as we changed to another formula he was fine. I've since been told by many friends they had the same issue. Its a shame you cant try a sample of the formula before buying the big tin. I wouldn't have purchased the big tin if i knew it was going to upset babies tummy.

This formula is always ready available at chemists and supermarkets at an affordable price. Baby certainly seems to enjoy it with no problems. The S26 Gold has extra iron and quite often causes constipation, the original is the perfect all rounder with no side effects for us. Following on to 6m+ is just as simple with S26 Progress. Well priced again and also readily available.

My baby is 9 months now this is the best formula for her.it is very easy to prepare I can go anywhere with formula.she love this formula she enjoy and drink whole bottle. No there is no side effects in my baby.. I tried gold formula but she didn't like it so I came back with this one.
I don’t get when people write it is easy to prepare as all other brands are easy to prepare! My eldest son was on this product 5 years ago, i used the Gold one. At that time ia was breast feesing as well, so we did not have major issue with his constipation. With my new baby girl recently we tried Gold one, it made her constipated, so we changed to Original. She was so unsetteled! Allthe day was not able to sleep, screaming and was collicy ! It’s been two days i have changed the formula and so far so good!
Just to add that this product is sugary!! The taste has changed! Hate new brand!

I use this formula for the infants in my childcare centre, and it’s just awesome!
No allergic reactions, babies settle well, balanced nutrients and great value for money, I would never dream of using another brand of formula for my children regardless of their developmental stage,the the best by far

Very easy to prepare, especially with the addition of the edge in the tin for scraping off excess. We used the gold last time around, but just bought the original this time and baby is thriving on it. Haven't seen any side effects, & baby drinks her bottle as fast as she can, so I guess she likes it!
