S26 Gold Newborn

This formula was given at birth in the hospital and my only option at the time. He was taking bottles good. Had him on it for 1 week and it made him extremely constipated :( Not even coloxyl drops were helping. We had to change formula to a more sensitive one.

So disappointed in this formula. I bought it after my mother in law recommended it. First day I noticed she was abit spewy but not more so than after having a big overfeed of breast milk then by day 7 it really hit the fan, she hadn't pooped in a few days which can be normal but she was screaming in pain, bloated etc, the formula had made her so constipated.
Plus just on a personal note the formula smells foul and has a slimy texture do it. Plus it's a pain because it has a 60ml scoop not a 50ml like most formula.
I ended up just chucking it out and buying something else, waste of money.

Hi I have a newborn that has been on this formula since he was two weeks old hes had no ' side affect' so this formula is good for me but every baby is different! My only suggestion is that you tell people how much the water plus formula makes it up too on your tin!

My daughter projectile spewed numerous times usually covering herself and me after every bottle. Huge amounts of vomit that was so unusual for her as we are mixed feeding and it does not happen after a breast feed. Have since changed formula and no issues.

Do have to mention she did not get constipated and we did not have any issues with the consistency of the powder at all.

I am really upset right now because I just introduced my 5montbs old to this formula today Nd witching 2 hrs of taking it there’s swelling around his eyes. I wouldn’t recommend it at all. Waste of money.

As it’s for newborn there normal feed is btw 60 to 90 ml per feed.
N s26 has only two measurements 60 ml and 120ml that means if my child needs 70 ml rest of the formula which I prepare goes waste and the formula get finished quicker .
My baby loves the taste it’s just the waste of formula that happens as S26 does not have middle measurement as most of the other formula has

Baby drank the formula fine and it was easy to prepare. However, she started developing angry spots on her face that would look like pimples, when I switched brand, or stopped the S26 for a few days the spots cleared, and came back when I reintroduced the S26.
Upon research, i found that the DHA source is from algae, whereas it is recommended that DHA from a fish source is preferable.
Plus side it's easier to find in stores than other brands, and there's usually ready stock available.

We gave this to our baby from day one and we had no issues with it. Our baby enjoys drinking it even though the taste is not very pleasant. It's easy to prepare and mixes quite well with water. It contains Omega 3 & 6 which we wanted in her formula.

.Very disappointed. It would make my baby sick. And would not settle or sleep for long. She would wake up screaming for no reason. Feeding was every hour- 2 hours. To the point all doctor thought it was reflux. Since I change to s26 original. She is more settle and less vomiting and feeding less to every 3-4 hours. And sleeping a lot better. I spoke to a lot of mums and they said the same thing. That the s26 gold was making there baby's sick. I got told it was rich in iron and omega 3. I'm not to sure if it was true or not. But I hope this helps other mums out there

Using this for my second bub as it worked so well fro my first. Gentle on the stomach. Helped grow my 4 year old into the advance little girl she is and I believe it had alot to to with the balance of nutrients in S26. Wish it was easier to get my hands on though

This has been recommended by my Paediatrician for my preterm baby (around 7 weeks early). He hated it initially but we think eventually he liked it. The tin is solid, with easy to peel container, and good scoop inside. The powder seemed easy to dissolve - even in fairly cold water that surprised me!

The formulae is not constipating, however my son is very temperamental about it. It is super expensive - if it were not because of the Paediatrician's recommendation we would have chosen a cheaper brand. My baby is 4 months old now and is growing rapidly so I guess this must have helped.

He enjoyed drinking while he wants to sleep.I have noticed it has a fast improvement and progress when it comes to intellectual ability and body movements.Im so happy with this product some people say my baby is smart because he can understand an respond easily. but he is not really big at all.it seems he gain an exact weight on his age. this formula is very easy to prepare.

We have used S26 Gold for both of my children since they were born. We have tried other brands, but found this formula suits our babies best. No constipation problem like some other brands even the babies had both breastfed and formula fed, other brands gave my babies lots of wind and constipation. We always stick to this brand.

First formula we gave our baby while I was still waiting for my supply to come in. Didn't have any issues with it. Baby has gained really well. Not expensive and always available in the shops. Only thing I don't like is the smell but my baby is not bothered.

I’ve used this formula for two babies and it’s worked really well both time. Easy to prepare and measure out, baby seems to love it. Not much else to say except he’s putting on weight really well and thriving with formula and solids. Couldn’t ask for more really. Does the job.

I used this product on both kids

they never had a issue with s26 gold. They where really happy on the product. My second child was on this product up until 12months

Yes really easy to make. I use to make it an put it in the fridge then warm it up easy

Started to use this to ween baby. My baby took to this formula. it was a very easy transition and baby loved it. Baby was more happy and content after drinking this formula, slept longer as he was felt fuller for longer. Bbay had no side effects to this formula. Very easy to prepare and store.

This is a great formula apart from it not sitting well with our daughter. It was the formula my husband chose when we were mix feeding and we managed to use up two tins worth (has ended up being formula fed only). By the middle of the second tin, we noticed that she wasn’t enjoying it as much and started getting constipated with solid poos rather than how they should be with a formula fed newborn! We decided to get a different formula with lower Iron content (NaN Comfort, the lowest Iron we could find) and it is fantastic! Reviews online on NaN Comfort are definitely accurate.
