I have a 7 week old who is bottle feed (unable to breast feed) he spent his first week in hospital on a course of antibiotics. The hospital had him on S26Gold which he projectile vomited. I placed him on NAN Pro HA, less vomit & reflux but terrible nappies and tummy pains. My husband by mistake purchased the next tin of NAN Pro Gold, back to vomits & reflux. I tried Karicare AR, which is a thickened formula, no vomit or reflux, but lots of tummy pain and he was being lazy as it is thick he only would have small amounts every couple of hours. So back to a Karicare Gold formula! The Health Centre Nurse and Paediatrician (like myself) would like to just settle on one formula and stick to it. Aldi have their own brand which is $10 cheaper than all the known brands (I won’t use anything but the Aldi Nappies for quality & price). But is cheaper best when it comes to our children’s health & nutrition? Are all the formulas much of a muchness? Times are tight on a single wage and $10 per week is a big saving, has anyone tried or read reviews of the Aldi formula? Do you have any Aldi formula recommendations?
