Cow and gate are competitive with the other leading brands. The one value I did find they had that sets them apart from the rest, is their travel cartons of pressure mixed milk that were in convenient plastic bottles with disposable teats that were very handy to keep in the changing bag or car. I was never caught without when I found these useful packs as you never know when your child may spill, lose their bottle, or just suddenly decide they require more milk that you had prepared when you left the house!

Relatively good value for money. Offers a range of milks to suit lOs needs. The pre-made milk is a great option for ease, now and then, but is quite pricey. I would say that the milk can be very bubbly when made up so have found using a anti colic bottle best to ensure lO doesn't suffer for it.

Cow and gate is very thick mixture and can make the baby a bit sick after food but very good value for money

I breastfed my daughter for about 4 weeks but was struggling to continue due to anaemia and various other complications. I tried my daughter on Aptamil at first and she didn't take to it at all, despite using different bottles. I then tried Cow & Gate original and she loved it, however soon became quite reflux-y after feeds, I switched to the reflux and regurgitation C&G and have not had any other problems since, my daughter's been on it for the last 9 month and we've had no problem whatsoever, she doesn't get ill at all and outs weight on at a very healthy rate. 10/10 would recommend to other people looking for a formula.

As I was unable to breastfeeed, we have used this since my son was 3 days old and my son has never suffered with constipation or poorly tummy, I've never had any problems with the formula not dissolving. I think it's around middle priced with competitor formula but I would pay more for how well my soon took to it

I BF my son. But on the odd occasion where I'm out and can't BF him he has this formula. I can't pump like I could before ad it just doesn't work for me now that's why formula is used. I've only used the ready made formula in the individual bottles which are great and easy to prep.

i've used both first stage and hungry baby milk and my daughter got on her well with both. It's one of the cheapest brands of baby milk and as i know my daughter gets on with it okay, i fully trust the product and would not switch to another. Would 10/10 recommend as there's no point paying extra just for the brand when they're practically the same product!
