Which make of formula?
I was curious to know what make of formula you will be using or what you used for your little one. Ive been looking at the websites recently and comparing but i think i will be using Aptamil.

I use cow and gate it's made by the same people as aptamil but it's cheaper, it's practically the same formula. I used sma with my first but found it was really greasy and absolutely stunk! It's more expensive now aswell x
Also brought some of the ready made in the bottles to take with me to the Hospital so not having to faf around and get the midwifes to make one up for me. Hopefully they will be ok with me using them. The midwife at my antenatal class mentioned them so thought id buy some xx
I was in for 3 days and when I did cave in and ask for a bottle at 3am one morning they gave me one of those ready made ones with the teats so they'll b fine. They had a cupboard full on the ward x
I told my midwife though on the day after seeing my HV as i had a appointment with her as well that im not breast feeding and she said thas fine its entirely up to me. So this formula will be ok to use wont it?
Sorry if a daft question lol just obviously new to it all x
It's perfectly fine to bottle feed from birth if that's your choice. They have to put that on the packaging to meet government guidelines as they want everyone to breastfeed but it's not suitable for everyone. Hope this helps.
Yeah they have to sell it almost as a medicine don't they it's nuts, you can't even get clubcard points when u buy it and it's never on offer cuz they're not allowed to! C&g has just gone up by 50p x
How on earth do you figure out what to use? Not like you can compare them for quality like say, crisps or meat or something. Interested to know how you ladies figured out what was best x
I went for c and g purely on price and recommendation from a friend. That and I can't stand the smell or greasiness of sma! X
Ah thanks ladies. Just had a quick look on the asda site and the C&G is cheaper. I will see what happens but Will try the cheaper brand first and see how baby W takes to it.
