Hi I also use SMA Gold my sister-in-law who has 2 children recomended it as she studied all the formula milks when she had her children and found that in the case of nutrients etc sma was the closest to breastmilk.

Hi! I used Aptamil with my son because it's supported by years of research. I heard that SMA can cause a few tummy upsets.

I personally had a few problems with sma but i'd recommend trying one and if it doesnt work trying a new one until you find one that works. Afew days of upset tummy is normal when changing milk but if theyt havent settled after 2 or 3 days its not the one for them. My son was very sick on sma gold and white so he is now on cow & gate comfort which is great but its not for everyone. Good luck with your search. Hayley and 10 weeks old Deacon

I was given SMA Gold by the hospital and continued with that as we had no problems, I changed after about 6 weeks to SMA White for hungrier babies.
