Stuck with S26 gold for all baby's formula need.

published

Easy to prepare. Never had any problems with bub drinking it, or any health issues as a result. Bub has had S26 gold since 6 months of age and now she is a little over one. Dearer than other brands or S26 but I don't mind at all. Started using after my Mum told me she had me on S26 when I was a baby with no issues.

Not for my bubba

published

My older son likes Karicare but this formula didn't work for my little daughter. So I tried to introduce another brands. She responded definitely no to S26. This formula really isn't tasty. My daughter accepted it only while sleeping and when she is awake she refuses to eat it after the first couple of sips

Good quality formula

published

Easy formula to prepare now that it has the extra lip to level off the spoon.
Have switch between the S26 and S26 gold follow on and haven't noticed any bad affects, no guy issues etc. Bubs seems to like the taste. Does seem to have a bit of a smell ? Metallic on bubs breath

foreign object in formula

published

Iv been using this formula for 6 months and more daughter loves it. Today while scooping the formula into the bottle, a piece of string or some sort of fibre was sticking out of the powder. Now I'm a bit concerned about the product, and not know what to do about this piece of fibre.

Fussy Toddler

published

I have a very fussy toddler who won't willingly drink this formula. I have to put the formula in her food in order for her to get the nutrients that this formula offers. It is relatively expensive compared to some other brands and gets bubbles when you shake it. You have to mix it well or you get clumps, hence the reason I prefer to shake.

Not for us

published

This was the second formula that we tried and we forced our little one to drink it thinking bub was just being picky. We did our research and found the S26 Gold to be superior. After months of not tolerating this formula and only drinking some of it when bub was very thirsty, we tasted it and didn't like the taste ourselves. We made the switch to Blackmores and have had amazing results with acceptance.

It is ok.

published

It is excellent. The advantages of this formula are cheaper than the others and easy to buy. It is never out of stock when I put an order online. In my opinion, it is no differences with A2 stange 2 or Aptamil stage 2. Recommend it if your baby loves it.

My daughter had this formula everyday for 6 months

published

Formula is super easy to prepare and I love how it doesn't get clumpy. I find the Bellamy's one gets clumpy if you don't prepare it with warm water and lots of shaking. I only ever used Bellamy's and S26. S26 dissolves easier. My baby loves everything and s26 was no different. One thing I love about this brand - my mum gave it to me as a baby and I love how I can give it to my daughter. There were no side effects.

Stage 2: Epic fail

published

At 6months of age, I changed my baby's formula to Stage 2, as a follow on from Newborn stage 1. My baby was noticibly unhappy, writhing with tummy pains- obvious discomfort. We perserveed for 2 more bottles, but then bub refused to drink it as she associated the bottle with the pains and refused to even drink it. I dont know what the differentiaiting ingredients are- but clearly disagreed with bub. Swappes back to Newborn with no issues since. Even though bub is 9 months.

Such an easy formula

published

Straight forward prep, and so gentle on babies tummy. Have used it for both my kids with out issue. Easy to transition between formula stages. Very reasonable price, especially when it comes up at two for $30. Being available in so many stores means its always able to be bought!!

Excellent for our first baby, disastrous for the second

published

Excellent for our first baby, disastrous for the second. I believe the formula change at some point and this could explain our bad experience with this formula the second time around. That said, every child is different so it could be that our second born could just not tolerate S26.

my bub loved it

published

My baby girl loved all stages of s -26 formula.
We tried all popular brands .
This one worked for us best.
I recommend for those parents whose kids often refuse formulas or have allergies or cry often after consuming it (as some formulas are too heavy on their tommies).

Helped our transition to formula

published

This formula is easy to prepare and dissolves easily. This was the first brand of formal we tried, we chose it after the recommendations from other mums and dads from our parents group. I found it a bit challenging stopping breast feeding and this product made the transition a little easier as my son gave no objection to it. He now calls out "Ba" for bottle whenever he fancies some

Didn't pass the taste test.

published

I bought the box of four formula sticks to try as my 6 month old will be going into part time care soon. He is currently breastfed but has had occasional formula in the past.

I've used other brands but he'd gone off them so gave S26 Progress a try.

Being in the sachet it was easy to prepare and mixed well with no lumps. The directions were very easy to follow. There wasn't any real foaming either. I did notice that it had quite a strong odour in comparison to other formulas though.

I tried on a few separate occasions to offer it to bub but he would have a few mouthfuls and refuse. I put it down partially to the strong odour and flavour. I tasted it and it was very oily.

Not the one for us.

Great Formula

published

Found S26 Gold brand and have not turned back, breastfeed three children then went onto S26 Gold Progress 2, no side effects, no reflux, no vomiting, babies settled really well. Love this stuff. One of my children was premmie and have continued Progress 2 even though she is 19 months old as I know she gets all the vitamins she needs as a fussy eater still. My saving grace. Thankyou.

granny knows.

we first tried Nan gold for 6months but that didn't work out. My granddaughter loves the S26, no upset tummy and no constipation, and she sleeps better at night with the change of formula.Its so easy to mix and no lumps, and she drinks the formula at room temperature.
