Bellamy's Organic Formula

My daughter is 2.5 years old, and Bellamy’s Organic Step 3 Toddler Milk Drink has become part of her daily routine. She enjoys the taste, and it’s easy to prepare, which makes busy mornings and evenings much easier for us. I also like that it’s made with organic ingredients, giving me extra confidence in what I’m offering her. It’s been a convenient option alongside her balanced diet as she continues to grow and explore.

I really wanted this to work – Unfortunately after I gave birth, I soon realised that I was unable to sufficiently breast feed and after spending days with difficulties and an unsettled newborn I moved onto formula feeding. When I went in stores, this formula caught my eye straight away and after reading the tin and reading all the marvellous reviews I was so excited to give… Read more

this a try and had such high hopes. Within 4 weeks of sticking to this formula, my baby was in so much pain and was so unhappy. He absolutely loved the taste and had no problem drinking his bottles. He slept amazingly, was going for 3-4 hours between bottles. But he suffered from so much wind and had major problems trying to digest this formula. His poo stayed the right consistency and colour, but he strained so hard every time and went red in the face and screamed a lot. I knew it was the formula disagreeing with his digestive system. I knew this because after trying many colic treatments, soothing techniques, leg movements and seeking advice from health professionals, I moved him onto another formula (still cow milk) and he was much better. I also knew it was this formula because after 6 weeks being on the new formula, despite him no longer suffering, he was always so so hungry and it felt like the new formula was not sufficient or filling him. I tried giving him bigger bottles, but he was 8 and 9 weeks old feeding every 2 hours 24/7 on formula 150mls. So being exhausted and out of curiosity, I wanted to try Bellamy’s again and I hoped that maybe his digestive system had improved and would no longer be in pain. The first 2 days of trying Bellamy’s again, he absolutely loved his formula, drank with no complaints and straight away was sleeping better and would last 4-5 sometimes even 6 hours between bottles. I was so happy! But… on days 3 and 4 he was so constipated, became windy again and started screaming and going red in the face every time he pooped. He was in so much pain just like when he was first born and on this formula. I changed his formula to novalac colic and he has started going 3 (sometimes4) hours in between bottles. Not as long as Bellamys, but at least it’s better than 2 hours between each bottle. I really wanted this formula to work. I loved the look and the reviews and felt confident when buying this formula. But it just didn’t work for my little one. Every baby is different.

Our Baby loves it! Formula's are not the nirvana to solve digestion, reflux and colic issues – * Our baby enjoys drinking Bellamy's * Stools are wet and hold a solid shape (which is what you suppose to have) * If your baby's digestive system is immature (ie struggling to process cow milk protein) you may need to start on a different formula * I compare Munchkin, Nan-Comfort, A2, Aptimal Gold, Bellamy's and Aptimal Profutura and Bellamy's… Read more ·  1

came out top trumps for its nutritional value and a very high level of Probiotics. * Bellamy's is easy to get supply of, home delivery is very prompt. Woolworths, Coles and Chemist Warehouse in our area always seem to have it. * We have a baby has Reflux, We started on Aptimal Gold (which made our baby vomit, but had not released she had reflux), Tried Bellamy's, went to A2 and back to Bellamy's when we starting giving our baby Losec for Reflux * For those doing a bake off we went to A2 as our baby could not initially process Bellamy's (she was two weeks premature). A2 is also really good, although it does have a slighty fishy smell (that I did not mind, but read others are really troubled by it), we rinsed our bottles immediately after use to limit the smell. * A2 and Bellamy's are easy to make/mix, although I did notice I had to shake my bottle for longer with A2 to get it mixed properly. * Our baby was born at 39 weeks, and we felt she struggled to process Bellamy's initially. * We went to A2 which shifted stool from being wet and solid to soft through to lacking shape and loose. * Once we start Losec (which give the babies the side effect of Diarrhea) we went back to Bellamy's which was a better combination for our little one. * Our Paediatrician recommended Nan Comfort, but it has a lot less Omega 3/6, less nutrients and no probiotics which drove us to go back to Bellamy's * We learnt that Formula's are not the solution to solving your baby's Colic, Reflux or other issues. Seek Paediatrician advice if you suspect your baby has reflux as EVERY BABY IS DIFFERENT. What worked for my partner's sisters, DID NOT work for us * For gas our Paediatrician suggested Infant's Friend or Infocol * We have learnt your bottle and teat systems can make a massive difference. Move to the age appropriate teat system as soon as possible, using younger age group teats can bring on more gas issues. * If your baby can not process Bellamy's start on something like Aptamil® AllerPro SYNEO™ 1, Nan Comfort and some of the top OB's out of Melbourne suggest Aptimal's Lactose free formula * Key learning do not be afraid to try formula's, most formula are made of cow's milk. They are all subtly different and keep going until you find something that works. * You will need to go through at least 4 cans of a formula to get a sense if it works for your little one * When you do try make sure Bellamy's is at the top of your list

We've tried a lot of them, and this one is the favourite - too bad it's not easy to get – I mix-fed from day one, then continued with exclusive formula feeding after 7 months of my baby's life. We had to try various brands because she stopped liking each one's taste after a while. In the end, we settled on this one alternating with A2. I like them both but this is my favourite because it dissolves very well in cold milk too. My baby… Read more ·  2

will only have cold milk, so it's really helpful to not have to mess around with clumps of formula stuck in the bottle. I also find the 60ml scoop handy because I can prepare it in a 260ml Avent bottle - it fits well with the powder + 240ml of milk. With the A2 I can only fill it to 200, otherwise, if I do 250ml, the powder doesn't fit on top in the bottle. She's had no reactions whatsoever.

The reason I rated it 4 stars instead of 5 is that it's hard to come by. National Pharmacies where I normally buy it from, has been out of stock for weeks. I know I can order from the website but because I'm a National Pharmacies member, it's a lot cheaper to buy from them.

My child loves this formula; it simply makes him smile when i am ready to serve it to him. I know that with previous formulas he wasn't that happy with drinking it, this ticks all the right boxes and am very happy to buy in future for him. Show details

Easy to prepare and my child loves the flavour. I love that there’s synthetic pesticides, growth hormones, antibiotics, and GMO ingredients as I only want the best ingredients for my child.

I have used bellamys organic step 3 for my toddler during her night wakes and I've found it great. She has had no tummy issues at all. I also love how the lid features a clip for the formula scoop. I love the bellamys brand and feel it gives my toddler a full range of nutrients.

I don’t like this product. I received it as a product tester. I tried it for my 12 month son and it wasn’t great. Firstly, the packaging is very hard to open - I had to use a knife to get the plastic off, and I don’t recommend doing that. Secondly, the scoop inside the tin is rectangular - which makes preparation difficult. I thought that the… Read more

product might be worth the packaging and preparation issues as my 12 month old son seemed to like the flavour and drank it with no issue. However, he started to throw up after drinking it. I tried to adjust the timing so that he didn’t drink it too close to eating solids, but he still vomited afterwards.

This milk drink doesn’t seem to be the healthiest for toddlers and it’s too hard to prepare. It’s not worthwhile.

I liked the design of the tin, especially the handy slot to keep the scoop separate from the powder and the built-in levelling edge, which made preparing each serve neat and easy. I offered it to my toddler, who usually drinks regular milk but he wasn’t a fan of the taste. I tried again on another day in case it was just a one-off, but he still… Read more

wasn’t interested. While it wasn’t the right choice for my toddler’s preferences, I appreciated the thoughtful packaging and would continue offering it occasionally to see if his tastes change over time.

Kiddo tried it for the first time last night. His initial reaction was to say 'bleargh, I don't like it, it tastes like broccoli' he wanted it cold first then we warmed it up to see if it was more appealing but got the same reaction. Will try again in the coming days.

Best milk drink out there! I received this lovely product a week ago and my 18 month daughter has been really enjoying drinking her milk drink from her sippy cup, I 100% will definitely be recommending this milk drink to other parents and family/friends. I really like how well the milk drink dissolves when mixed and it is very easy to prepare. I truly appreciate this product so much, thank you for letting me review this lovely product ! Show details ·  1

My little one is 2.5 years old and loves the Bellamy’s Organic Step 3 Milk Drink. My sister gives him a cup each morning and evening and it gives her peace of mind that he is getting the required organic nutrients he needs with no added nasties. I love how the product is organically sourced, scientifically researched and contains the required nutrients, pre-biotics and omega ingredients to support growth in active toddlers from a younger age. Show reply

straightforward, and I really love that it is made with certified organic full-cream cow’s milk. Pouring it into a regular drinking cup for my toddler gives me total peace of mind that they are getting a nutrient-rich milk drink packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and prebiotics to support their busy, active days.

Super easy to make my toddler a milk drink in no time at all. The instructions on the back are simple to follow. I love that it is organic and has 16 growth nutrients. The perfect serving size for a sippy cup. My girl absolutely loved this and finished it quickly
