    have decided on Hipp Organic - thank you all. Although we did buy a few Cow and \gate Cartons as a back up.

    Oh, forgot to say - the new SMA gold is suitable up to 12 months now.


    It always has been. All first stage formula has been!

    Hipp organic was loved by my DD- but that was 8 years ago when that new fangled organic stuff was only starting to become available. The cartons of SMA were a godsend when we were out and about for the day- stayed fresh and could be used straight from the carton,no heating required if you warmed it against your body for a bit before use(some babies may be more fussy, our dd was 9 months before she started on formula.)

    I have to admit the reason I steered towards SMA with DD wasn't just cos it was the only one that had suited DS it was also because at the time it was one of the few on the market at the time that did ready to feed cartons and also sachets that you could buy in the correct amount, and I found these god-sends for days out or leaving at relatives houses. My disadvantage was I'd saved myself £1 a tin buying from the baby clinic with DS, when it came to DD there was only a few pence difference in price, and I'd have saved more on a different brand.

    Both mine had Aptimil with no probs. DS moved on to Aptimil Extra (the hungrier one) and they both went on to Aptimil forward at 6 months (mainly because it was cheaper!!!).

    And it looks like we made it once again
    Yes it looks like we made it to the end
