Mamia formula milk

Had anyone tried Aldi’s (mamia) formula? I need opinions please. I was going to use Kendamill but I found Aldi’s is cheaper.

The Aldi formula is the cheapest one there is so it’s a good bet if you have an Aldi nearby. I’ve read that it is very very similar to Aptamil which is good because I believe the Mamia one doesn’t come in a ready to feed version but if you needed to you could probably use Aptamil ready to feed occasionally when on the go.

All formula has to comply to certain standards so they are all much and such the same! If it’s cheaper and accessible to you then go for it ☺️ I used kendamil as there was only one Aldi nearby and if they didn’t have any stock I’d have been screwed 😂

Avatar

mamia and aptamil and cow and gate are made in the same factory hence why they are all the same
( I’ve read)
Also all formula milk have to follow a certain guidelines to even be allowed to be sold in the uk 🙂

All of them have to meet a high standard. If you have an Aldi near you, I don’t see why you shouldn’t try it xx

My opinion on this is that if you’re ever stuck for milk and no where near an aldi you’re screwed, cow and gate milk isn’t much more and it’s available in every shop, even corner shops, I know from experience I’ve needed to pop out for milk a few times last minute xx

in that situation you could just pick up some Aptamil since it’s so similar

Avatar

I didn’t know you always had to use the same brand of milk? I thought if you ran out of the one you are using you could just buy any other one and it would be fine.

My boys had had this formula from 5 weeks old, he’s now 8.5 months xx

unless your baby has a super sensitive tummy because even the smallest changes affect some babies, and there’s such a small price difference, there’s £1 difference between mamia and cow and gate, where aptamil is £5.50 different so it’s a hell of a lot more to spend in an emergency than just paying the extra £1 for the convenience and not upsetting a babies tummy

There’s no right or wrong but that was my reasoning when I had my little girl and it worked well for us

Avatar

always try and stick to the same formula hun. Even though they all have to meet the same standards they are still all slightly different and switching them up all the time could cause baby to struggle with so much change xx

Avatar

thank you so much. I can’t choose now omg!!! I bought the Kendamil ready made bottles for the hospital but I might try the Aldi milk first and if it doesn’t work I’ll switch to Kendamil.

Avatar

if you have an Aldi near by then it’s such a money saver!!!
My eldest was on Mamia too this was 5 years ago xx

Avatar

I used to use the Aldi one, and had no problems whatsoever with it! I found we were needing a lot of pre made bottles of aptimal when we were out so because of this I changed to SMA milk - I also found it was cheaper than Aldi’s by 25p🤣 in Morrisons!x

i have 3 ALDIs close by so that should be enough and always will try to buy a new tub when the current one is half way

Avatar

Yes I went from aptamil to this and it was amazing and definitely great for my pockets 😂 it was hard to find a suitable formula for my son as he has a couple different allergies hence why we had to change from aptamil but the mamia formula was great!

Avatar

We loved it until our son had a severe cmpa reaction and we needed prescription formula baby 2 is due in may and planning on using it for them

Avatar

I’m opting for kendamil and it’s cheaper in Iceland, think it’s £9.25 so cheaper than online but their subscription looks like it would work great even though it’s £12.00 x

Avatar

I’ve used Aldi for both my babies, first in 2021/2022 and again since April this year for my second, no problems and our Aldi is a 10 minute walk/2 minute drive so good if you are close to one

Avatar

omg I didn’t know this but now that I do I’m doubting hard in what to do

Avatar

my biggest advice get a few brands in and trial them you never know what baby is going to like best and prefer x

Avatar

My daughter was on mamia powder formula and for emergencies or longer days out we used aptamil bottles. She was fine with the mix

Avatar

Yup we do 🙋🏼‍♀️, shes 3 weeks tomorrow and doing great on it. Used it with my first from 5 weeks to 1yo as well after Cow and Gate and Aptamil powder gave her awful gas issues due to bubbles/froth. Mamia mixes lovely and smooth and the fact its much cheaper is an added bonus.

On rare occasions we did use Aptamil ready to feed when out and about as well as itd basically the same.

Used it for my LG from birth till she was 1 year old, never had any issues and using it now for my LB (3 months) since birth

Avatar

I bought the aptimil cartons for the hospital as they only do the big tins of mamia and as soon as we got home we went on to this no problems. He’s now 14 months and on cows milk, but this was ideal for us x

Avatar

Apparently all formula is the same and the packaging it’s all a way to make us spend more money. So if we can can save a little extra every month go for it ❤️

Avatar

the only thing to consider with kendamil is it is made with whole milk so can be too rich for some. My lo was originally on kendamil but it was too rich for her and gave her the worst diahorrea.

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.
