Switching from Aptamil to Mamia

Has anyone done this? I know some people switch from cow and gate.

I’m combi feeding and my little one is fine on Aptamil, generally 0 spit ups. Just from a cost perspective I was considering changing, just don’t want to upset his tum.

No advice on the change sorry, but you can get Aptimil from lidl & savers for £12 & also Costco do 3 for £28 I think it is. Not sure if that helps x

Oh good to know! I’ll check Lidl tomorrow and I’m going to Costco on Thursday 😃 xx

Funnily enough we are swapping the other way at the moment from Mamia to Aptamil, only because aptamil is much easier to get in almost every shop! Our little girl has been on mamia since birth and hasn’t been affected at all by switching to aptamil. I think the formulations are very very similar, and I read online that the ingredients are exactly the same!

We switched from Aptamil to Mamia on the advice of our health visitor. She said it was half the price but made in the same factory and to the same specification as Aptamil. Our little one has been absolutely fine changing, you wouldn't even know

that’s my only worry, that I’d be caught short if Aldi wasn’t open or it was out of stock!

Aptamil doesn’t have palm oil in the blend, but otherwise ingredients are the same. Nutritional value varies slightly - we are just about to make the change from Aptamil to Mamia so fingers crossed!

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?
