I used SMA with baby number 1 and he was really good on it we had no issues. Only thing I disliked was the formula burp haha! It's about finding what formula is best for you and baby and for us first time round SMA was the best. I breastfeed for the 1st 3 months then went on to the formula and this filled him up well. I would recommend SMA to others.
Great formula although I’m breast feeding I gave this to my little one on accession so I could get some sleep and look after her with my batteries recharged.
My baby girl had issues with other brands of formula milk either she would get badly constipated or have a really bad diarrhoea!
Then my doctor recommended sma pro 1 and since then she’s had no issues!
Had to change babies milk 4 times as had bad constipation but this milk has eased his constipation and doesn't struggle anymore. So have stayed using sma which has made it a lot easier for him to go.
I began using sma for my daughter after breastfeeding became unbearable and was not producing enough. Tin is clsaely labelled, easy to use, available most places, easy to us and store. It is not the cheapest or the most expensive. My daughter took to it and my son wouldn't have any other milk. Highly recommend.
We were sent home form neonatal after 4 weeks with a baby that had been born over 7 weeks early, she was little. We were prescribed gold prem 2 with is sma so we had no choice but to stick with the brand but I wouldn’t want to change. She has had no sickness with it and has tolerated the first milk as well as the catch up milk.
My little one struggled with milk once I took her off breast milk. Aptamil and cow and gate didn't agree with her she was very unsettled, refluxy and constipated. I was really struggling as she kept wanting to be fed because she would throw up her feed. I then changed her on to this milk and she is like an entirely different baby. She is so much happier and settled. I wouldn't go back.
Easy to find, sold almost everywhere. Clear instructions and guidelines
Weaknesses:
This isn’t the cheapest milk and I don’t like the smell.
Quality
Price
Easy to prepare
Easy to digest
My little one has been in this since birth as I was unable to breastfeed. It did cause him stomach upset at first but he quickly adapted and now loves the stuff! Easy to use and clear guidelines and would recommend to all parents.
As much as i love sma and think its great, i feel like they're selling air with the space in the tins and wish they weren't so expensive. Its almost like your bring penalised for formula feeding.
The tins say 'breast is best' which is about insensitive in my opinion.
Having had to bottle feed our first daughter , she thrived on this. Now having our 2nd daughter 7 weeks ago, we knew SMA was the only brand to use. Both our children have had no problem on this formula, its easy to make up, it doesn't give them colic, they wind well and are growing beautifully. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone!!
Having my first baby I used sma along with breast feeding as my milk wasn't enough for my son. My mum and partners mother both recommended sma so we have it a go. The only issue I have with the product is that you can never get the last bit of milk and it isn't the cheapest of things to buy on a weekly basis. My son seems to like it and is growing happily so we are happy.
I started my son on the milk pretty much as soon as I had given birth and never had any problems with it. It’s so easy to mix up to make the bottles and easy to prepare feeds.
I started out on this milk as soon as I couldn’t breast feed anymore and my daughter has been fine on it , she has been sick with it but think that is just her not the milk, she loves it and can’t wait to have the next bottle , it’s easy to prep and one tub lasts her a week at least atm, though it’s more expensive then breast feeding £40 per month I think is good considering what you could pay.
This made my 2nd very ill then all the tests she had it came back with milk intolerance. They’ve changed ingredients in it since I had my 1st child. Not just my baby it made poorly but my mates child too. all the effort I’ve put in my child can now have dairy.
We used sma for our 1st child and will be using again with our next 1 as love sma mixes great and our daughter gained amazing on it due to me not being able to breastfeed so hospital said sma or another milk had heard of sma so tried it and will use again
My baby felt very good after I started giving him this milk powder , he had no colic nor was he constipated. I was using the liquid formula as well...baby felt no difference.
My baby has got reflux after my baby tried SMA she seems to be settled on this ,this formula thick and creamy fill your baby stomach it s suitable for hungry baby as well . my friend recommended it to me ...
After quickly coming to the conclusion that breast feeding, wasn't working for me and my daughter we switched to formula.
My daughter took to sma first time, had no reactions to it.
We kept her in sma up until 1 year old when she went on to cows milk.
Will definitely be using it with my 2nd child.
They say every baby is different and a lot of people criticised me when I said I was going to use sma. I feel it always fills her up it's got a great guideline on the tin on how much to give at a certain age.
I’ve used this milk since my son was born and would highly recommend it to other new mums. The containers are easy to open and close and the scoop is also easy to use. The only issue is that you need to use your own knife to level off the milk.
