All formula for newborns is really highly regulated so anything you choose will have to be very similar so you can choose any milk and it will do the job. If you're in the UK Kendamil is a uk organic milk brand, it's available in lots of places or you can order it direct. I've used both Cow and gate and Aptamil and they've both been fine, but I only use it occasionally so others might have more recommendations.

I used HIPP with no issues. Although I heard good things about Kendalmil and you can now get it in the supermarkets too

Hi hifer!! Hope you and little one are doing good. I am combi feeding and initially used Aptamil but found it made little man gassy so have switched to Kendamil and definitely recommend. It’s a bit lighter from what I can see and suits my little one much more and is organic (but pricey!) xx

Amazing thanks so much. Currently using sma and really don’t think it suits her at all. There have been a lot of votes for Kendamil on here. 👍How are you guys doing? Xx

Ahh let me know how she gets on with Kendamil, hopefully does the trick! I find it smells more milk like compared to other formula brands as well!

We are doing well - little man is going to be 20 weeks this Thursday, the time has flown and not quite sure where it’s gone - though each day throws up it’s own challenges! How are you getting on? Xx

Amazing. Time flies doesn’t it. We’re 18 weeks this Friday! We’re very well thank you. A few sleep issues we’re working through but honestly every day is such a pleasure. Especially after the journey that we’ve had! I’m sure you feel the same!

She takes the Kendamil sooo much better than SMA and funnily enough just thought tonight that it smells of milk! Thanks again for the rec xx

We are kendamil lovers! More expensive. But we have no reflux, sickness or colic.

I used Hipp Organic for my little one. You can get the powder but also the little premade formula bottles for when you’re out and about which was massively easier!x

Yes it’s a lot easier when you have the option to get the made up ones too! Thank you 🙏
