    Smile Which Formula Is Best

    Hi Girls
    Ive decided to formula feed bubs when shes born as i had an awful time breastfeeding last time. Because its been 6 years since ive purchased formula i was wondering if you could help me out on deciding which formula to use for this bub. Id love to hear about your experiences good and bad and with which formula so it can help me decide. Thankyou in advance

    I found Nan HA was the best for my kids.

    S26 make DD REALLY constipated.
    Nan Gold is what she's using at the moment and its fantastic.

    Of course, Heinz is probably the cheapest, my sister and mother swear by it. But I've stuck to Nan because thats what the nurses in Special Care recommended to us for DD.
    I'd recommend buying formula through Chemist Warehouse online, its pretty cheap.

    ive got an app on my iphone of a baby forum and alot of women on their said that S26 caused all of their bubs to get constipated. Thats awful

    Even making it up in the bottle S26 seems so thick compared to Nan.

    I'm another one who used Nan Ha. It's what the midwives had at the hospital and we just continued using it at home. No problems so far.

    Ds1 was on formula from about 4 days old. We used s26 then karicare and finally settled on Heinz till he got to 12 months and developed lactose intolerance and was put on lactose free formula till he turned 2.

    Ds2 is primarily breastfed but has a bottle of formula everyday and I'm giving him Heinz again.

    Both of my boys have never had too much of an issue with any formula so I think it just depends on the child and what they will tolerate.
