Hi all-Im BFing but want to start trying to introduce a bottle at night time. I know all the brands are much of a muchness but has anyone actually tasted them? I want to find the closest taste to breastmilk. Might sound really stupid, but I dont know if they all taste the same. I suppose I could buy a carton of each and try it!! But just wondered if anyone else has done this?
 
Hipp organic and aptamil are the closest we tried, although we only tried cartons not powder. I believe that the powder tastes quite different though, so maybe someone else can help...
 
I have no idea but i bf and ff one bottle at night times.. I use sma gold and my LO doesnt seem to like one over the other if thats any help?
Probably not though.

They don't all taste the same but I think what they taste like and which one tastes the most like your BM is a personal preference thing. I'd get a carton of each and try! The cartons do taste a bit different from the powder (like UHT tastes different to fresh milk) but they are similar enough to give you an idea. When mixed feeding, I used Aptamil, and he would take BM and Aptamil just the same. Never showed a preference for either.
 
My HV told me to get Aptimal as its the closest to breastmilk :shrug: Baby gulps it down!
 
My OH tasted all the brands and said C&G tasted the nicest in liquid form. xx
 
cow and gate is so sickly

hipps really thin ans sweet like breast milk id def recommend it x
 
Aptamil isn't closest to breastmilk more so than any other formula, this is a false claim that the company has had to retract but is sadly still repeated by some health profesisonals, it doesn't smell/taste like BM either IMHO (maybe I'm weird but I think it smells like buttermilk mixed with emulsion paint...)
 
Aptamil seems to be the god of milk. My LO is on Cow and Gate, pretty much same milk but cheaper. They are all pretty much the same but branding/reputation is still important to people. Your LO will tell you if he's happy or not. :)
