My LO will be moving onto Follow On Milk in a while and I cant decide which one to put him on. He started off on C&g, then went onto the Aptamil Comfort which helped his wind and I just moved onto the Aptamil Hungry Baby Milk.

Unfortunately, you cant find out which is 'the best' one but I thought I would see what experiences fellow MSE posters have had with follow on milk to help me make a decision :)

Thanks in advance

ETA - Jack will be 6months in afew weeks time

    Hey Glam, My Chris only ever had c&g milks (maybe had a free sample of hipp at some point though) no problems here, I think they're all much of a muchness really :)
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    What age are you talking ?
    Once he is one cows milk will be fine.
    (Cannot help before that though as he was a breast-fed boy.)

    Glam, I ticked other, because we found that after 6 months then brand shifting really didn't seen to affect fergie's guts like it does when they're newborns so We just buy whichever is on special offer/roll back. Usually Hipp organic or SMA.

    We started our little one on Hipp follow on at 6 months and she seems to like it, although she doesn't mind other brands. Prior to 6 months she'd been on C&G and aptamil. She never seemed too bothered about the changes tbh.

    I just got C&G because thats the brand I've always used with both of mine.
    I only bought the follow on today because the shop didnt have stage 1, also I didnt realise you can use the healty start vouchers against follow on but the staff said you can.

    Charlotte started off on Aptimil, but then I got a load of Tesco Clubcard points vouchers for Hipp. I tried her on that and she liked it, so I kept buying it to get points :o
    Here I go again on my own....

    I'm also in the HIPP fanclub. Seemed to cause fewer 'weird' poos!
