    I used Karicare Soy with P as she is lactose intollerant and the dairy forumlas gave her horrible pain...I had heard bad things about S26 Soy and LF formula and sure enough, when we tried them, they made her really constipated.

    The gold ones were no good for us, we ended up on karicare goats and that worked well.
    I think, at the end of the day, nutritionally, they are all much of a muchness (excepting the really cheap ones) and it will boil down to what suits your bubs best.
    Good luck

    I used what the hospital was using, which was NAN HA Gold - DD had no issues with it & was bf & ff at the start then we switched her to ff full time.

    I have used S26 (not gold) with my DS and now my DD. They both don't have any problems with this formula. Both healthy happy children!

    This is the exact same as us - NAN HA Gold, bf & ff, then went to ff full time, no constipation or any issues at all. Did try the S26 once, that stuff is PONG-EEEE! Smelt like off potatoes! Nan worked for us.

    Best wishes for tomorrow! EXCITING!! xx

    OMG Crumpet, you're nearly there! How exciting hun

    Another one here who is a fan of Heinz Nurture. (not the Gold one) DS has had the least wind pain etc on this one.

    My paed said that the "gold" varieties are basically a marketing thing and are a total waste of money. The usual varieties have all the nutrients that a bub needs. Often the Gold ones market themselves as having omega 3 DHA and probiotics etc. but if you look at the ingredients listings on the normal ones many of them have omega 3 & 6 DHA etc. anyway.

    It really does depend on what suits your baby.
