Aldi’s milk v aptamil

Has anyone tried the mamia Aldi’s formula? Been using the aptamil formula for 3 months now and having to buy a new one every 6 days cause my babies on 6oz now and noticed Aldi’s is the similar packaging and more than half the price of aptamil. Thinking shall I swap but nervous too!

We tried it our son didn’t like it so we ended up back at aptamil

Just wouldn’t drink it? or upset him stomach ect? X

I spoke to a infant feeding specialist (private clinic) and she actually recommended Mamia, cow & gate or SMA little steps. She said something along the lines of our normal health visitors can’t reccomend anything but they are the formulas that have exactly what’s needed nutritionally where as a lot of other brands add other bits as well to compete with eachother and for marketing. But I haven’t tried any of the 3

My little one didn’t get on with it, it made her really constipated! X

My little girl is on Mamia and my 3 year old was also on Mamia. Never had any issues with either of them on it. My understanding is that there are strict guidelines regarding formula so it being cheaper doesn’t mean it’s not as good. We do our shopping at Aldi so it just made sense to pick up the formula from there in our weekly shop x

My baby was on aptamil and I transitioned to aldi and she was perfectly fine! It’s so much cheaper x

My little one didn’t get on with it she ended up with bad constipation too at around 2 months , she was ok with at as a newborn but then switched to Aptimil comfort x

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
