20 Best Formula For Lactose Intolerance (2023 Updated)

My son, who is now five, didn’t switch to formula until he was seven months old. We used one that came highly recommended, and we never had any issues. So, when my daughter had to switch to formula at two weeks due to my body not producing milk, we went back to the one we knew.

Big mistake! She became so constipated that it would be two to three days between poops for her. When she finally would poop, she would scream and cry from the pain of getting the rock-like BM out of her body.

I felt absolutely awful as a mom. Everyone said give her body a week or two to adjust, but my mom gut knew she needed to be on something else. I went back and forth between this formula and another, and I am SO HAPPY I chose this one.

Within twenty-four hours, she was a different baby! Now, almost three months later, she poops two-four times a day, is not in pain, passes gas easily, and is content. I wish I could find this more easily with the shortage, but I will do whatever it takes to make sure she stays on it!.

We made the switch to this formula from Enfamil Gentlease during the formula shortage. This formula was more readily available on shelves and online 3 day shipping whereas Enfamil seemed to always be out of stock either way.

I’m glad we made the switch! This formula is cheaper and seems to work just as well, if not better, for my daughter. She has easier BM’s with this formula and it doesn’t have a strong smell like the Enfamil did.

It also helps with gas and spit up just like Gentlease did. My only complaint is that the scoop is poorly designed if you use narrow bottles like Dr. Brown’s. But that is an inconvenience I can deal with for now since I am able to feed my daughter without worrying where to find formula that works for her.

Thank you, Gerber and Walmart!.

My 8 day old boy guzzled this like no tomorrow. Since birth the hospital started him on Similac pro advance, which caused gas and discomfort and many a fussing session. Some research showed newborns aren’t really equipped to digest much casein (50% casein / 50% whey in the Similac).

Found this Gerber at 100% partially hydrolized whey, easily digestible for newborns and quickly resolved my boy’s issues. FYI – initial poop after the switch was a pasty yellow green, which resolved to brownish yellow after a few days.

After my precious newborn had an apneic episode on another brand powdered formula, I switched to this product. Although it took my newborn a little time to adjust from a stool perspective due to more iron in it than breast milk can provide, it has been a blessing.

My daughter had no issues drinking from a bottle, And the spit up is extremely low with this formula. The containers are perfect for on the go as well. I am glad that Gerber makes this affordable and convenient with the AutoShip program.

The only issues I had is they were out of stock for a while and I believe it was due to a name change to gentle pro. And the only thing that I would improve is when you open up the silver protective covering On the container there is plastic underneath that does not always come off with it.

Therefore when you pour the formula into a bottle it does not all make it into that bottle it drips and makes a mess. Little waste but definitely needs packaging improvement. In addition I would love to see these containers and half the size for infants.

My infant currently only drinks approximately 4 ounces per feeding and it’s great that I do not have to warm this formula up however the remaining formula I need to store in the fridge and then warm it up.

Or if I am traveling it’s even more of an inconvenience because I do not want to waste the rest of the container and I need to put it on ice.

I used this formula with my daughter and she loved it! Other formulas were too harsh on her stomach. She either couldn’t keep them down or they gave her diarrhea. This is the only formula that sat well with her stomach.

The fact that these are ready to go helps out a lot!! They are so easy for on the go as well as at home. They help to save a lot of time! When you are out it’s hard to mix a bottle especially if you don’t have anywhere to set the bottle and powdered formula down.

This is more convenient to just shake and give to the baby. And it’s perfect for the middle of the night when the baby is screaming to just hurry up and give them a pre made ready to go bottle.

After going though 5 formulas with my first child, we knew to go straight to this one when my 2nd was born. The formula it self if great. the packaging took a turn to the worst i have ever seen!!! While advertised to be sold by a case, it is not> This formula is not being shipped as individual containers of 24 THROWN into a box.

Most times half are leaking, the other half cannot even be stored properly. When contacting Customer Service, they are always pleasant and send a replacement, but the replacement arrives in the same manner.

The last representative even said they will put a not for specials handling and it came even worse that I had ever seen. I am now low on formula for my child and stores in my area to not carry this formula.

I have no where to turn and am highly disappointed with the excellent product literally being wasted by horrible packaging.

My son is 2 years old, and I’ve been finding it really difficult and quite a challenge to get him to embrace the switch from his baby milk to normal cows milk which we drink. So I was really pleased to have the chance to try out the SMA Pro Toddler Milk product to see if this could help me.

As parents, we are also understandably conscious to keep our child’s diet as balanced and healthy as possible. This proves difficult when our child is also a picky eater, we worry a lot about whether he is getting all the nutrition he requires.

The fantastic thing about SMA Pro is that two servings of it provide our child with all of their recommended Vitamin D intake, contains lots of calcium which is fantastic for helping growth and development as well as other key elements such as iron for brain development, iodine for supporting growth and omega 3 and 6 which helps with general development.

Therefore, we feel very positive and assured about giving this to our child, knowing that his best interests are at heart and he is getting all the nutritional elements he needs to be his best and healthiest self.

SMA Pro Toddler Milk really does help to build a solid foundation for our son. The SMA Pro Toddler Milk range is great as there are a lot of options available, from powder enabling us to create our son’s drinks as we typically would but also the option of the ready made milk that only needs to be poured out or drunk from the carton.

We found the cartons to be fantastic and a massive plus point for us because it makes life so much easier for us, we don’t have to bother preparing and creating bottles from scratch, we are able to just grab a carton from the fridge and therefore this frees up our time, giving us more opportunity to focus on quality time together as a family.

It also makes it easy when we are travelling or out and about, as we can simply give our son the drink in a carton format which works well as it means less mess or hassle. All in all, our son seems to have taken to the milk really well.

He has settled into using this as opposed to his previous milk very well, and it’s reassuring to know that SMA have a careline telephone support if you need it, although we haven’t had to, it’s definitely a fabulous thing to have access to if the need arises, and it puts more trust in the brand.

We as parents, feel happy, comfortable and safe in the knowledge that the SMA Pro Toddler Milk is designed to nutritionally enhance and support our child’s growth! Great!.

I recently got sample from the insiders I was really happy to try this as was perfect time to move on to new and milk they loved it ,I have 3 children who drink this milk twin girls age one and 23month old boy.

SMA pro toddler milk is for toddlers from age 1 to 3 it is full of vitamins and minerals to support growth in toddlers even with a healthy diet it makes me feel better to give them this milk knowing that im giving them what they need including iron, omega3 and 6, lodine, vitiman d and calcium.

Inside my pack it got a 1lt carton, 400g grams tin and some small cartons. The tin was perfect for home use and the others I used when out and about and at friends’ houses over Christmas. I wouldn’t normally buy readymade milks but it was really handy when going out especially with twins.

Carrying everything with twins and a toddler can be a struggle too however these fit nicely in my changing bag. When traveling in the car for long journeys SMA pro readymade make it one less thing to think about just pour in to the bottle and saved mess of spilling the powder everywhere ,I do this all the time when rushing or half asleep it’s easy to make a mess with the powder when making bottles and of cause the spillages is another job you have to clean up.

my only problem my 2 year old squeezed the carton and got it all down his this has been an issue with cartons since I was young he wasn’t to know I did end up putting it in his own drink bottle just to save the mess but he is still young so I kinda expected it not to got too well.

Instructions are on the packaging they are easy to read and understand to guide you through steps. I find this is a quality milk from SMA which contains lots of nutrition which a 1-3 year olds need none of them had tried toddler milk before my little boy drinks cows milk but the girls don’t.

Unfortunately my little boy didn’t like this milk at all however used it to make the transition to new milk for my 1 year old twins which went down a treat it was easy and I now use this as their main milk and It was also on offer at Tesco at £7.

50 per tin so I stocked up I think I got 12 tins in total when u have twins and go through a big £10 tin every 2. 5 days that saving is amazing amount they also have good shelf life if unopened. I trust SMA as a brand because of their long lasting experience and research in babies.

What a great way to celebrate my baby’s first birthday with SMA Pro Campaign thanks to The Insiders UK. It even has a towel with SMA Pro logo printed on it for every toddler participant, it is beautiful!! SMA Pro was also recommended by my friends who are already using it, but I was a bit hesitant to use it, as I have never change the milk brand for any of my children.

It happened that I had an appointment with my Health Visitor where I got to discuss this with her, in which she said: “ as long as your child accepts the milk is fine to move on to a different brand”.

For starters I tried giving her in a small quantity, just to see if she like the taste of it, after 2 to 3 tries she started liking it and now she drinks without any issues, she absolutely loves it. The milk tastes very sweet almost like the vanilla milkshake (I am not sure) but It does taste good, I hope she doesn’t get the sweet tooth.

I am very impressed with SMA Pro milk range as they have lots of options available. They have 400 to 800g powder with easy to open the lid, they also have big cartons of 1litre ready to use milk for those rush time preparations and can be stored for up to 48 hours in the fridge once opened, little cartons of 200ml with straw for your out and about time.

It does make life easy for mothers. I like the fact that SMA Pro contains Calcium & Vitamins A&C and Omega 3 & 6 essential fatty acids which are necessary for baby/toddler development especially for fussy eaters.

I give my daughter twice a day one in the afternoon and other before going to bed, and she drinks every single drop. The only negative thing that I found is, that they have provided a scoop for the 400g powder tin but its right at the bottom of the tin ( at first I thought they forgot to put one inside, but after finishing half of the tin I discover the scoop) it would be nice if they put one on top so parents don’t have to dig for treasure, apart from that we love this product.

I have already recommended to my family and friends and I do recommend to other parents by our own experience using this product.

Myself and my daughter absolutely love the SMA PRO Follow-on Milk we have been trialling the past could of months. So much so we have fully converted from our previous brand to SMA. I must admit, I was very hesitant to change as she was very happy with her previous brand of milk, however I can safely say she is more than happy and has not refused one bottle.

So what do we love? From the very first bottle on SMA Follow-on Milk my daughter has been happy with her bottles, she hasn’t turned her nose up, pushed it away or drank less in comparison to what she was drinking before – clearly she is enjoying the taste.

The packaging is brilliant. I like how the tub isn’t just made of plastic, so if it is inevitably dropped from time to time, it doesn’t break and powder is blown everywhere. Bonus! The formula mixes very well with little shaking to be honest, It isn’t clumpy and there isn’t residue at the bottom of the bottle.

The spoon which comes with the tub measures out the perfect amount. There is a hole in the handle of the spoon which lets any excess go back into the tub as you scrape the spoon against the side of the tub.

The lid of the tub is the best I have come across, easy to take on and off, no fiddly clips to open and then close, just pull off and put back on and completely air tight. Finally, the price is far better than our previous brand! Brilliant whilst mummy is on maternity leave!! I would recommend the SMA Pro Follow-on Milk to any new parent, I can’t find any negatives to the product and neither can my daughter.

So much so, we are moving on to the next SMA Pro Growing Up Milk shortly!.

I really wanted to try this product for a few weeks before I gave a review of it. My son has been on another brand follow on milk previous to this trial. With the other milk it took him weeks to get use to the product and it tied his tummy in knots, so I really wanted to give this a full trial.

I cant tell you how happy we are with the results. Our son took to the new follow on really well. He had no issues with his tummy at all. This was done over about 5 to 6 weeks so enough time to see any results.

In fact, we noticed he has become more regular and has had less poo-namis! We were impressed because there was no residue in the bottle after our son had finished. So all of the formula dissolved which means our son was able to get the full benefits from the SMA.

He just garbbles it down and loves it. The other brand we were using always had bits left that had not dissolved. I can feel confident that we are giving him something that he likes and doesn’t have an ill effect on him.

Plus, we can know he is getting all the building blocks he will need to grow big and strong. Another plus, SMA doesn’t smell bad once mixed up. The other brand would almost make me gag from the smell.

The only thing that I didn’t like is that the container didn’t have a little shelf to level off the scoups inside the container, but I just used the aluminum seal and the neck of the scoop has a little hole so when you level it, it doesn’t go everywhere.

Of course, you can see the quality reflected in the price tag of the formula. This is running around 10 quid a container. So for us this lasted about 2 weeks before we needed to get more compared to our previous brand that was costing round 7.

50. So this might be a bit pricy for lower income family’s. All in all we just love this product and have been telling everyone at our groups about it! Thanks SMA!.

Used this for my now 3 yr old and had no issues, so did the same with my now 5mo. Was disappointed to see they had changed to formulation and my Bub hated it! I had a sip and spat it out; it tastes horribly metallic! Even my niece, who was drinking this rejected it after they changed the mixture!.

Love Nan 3 comfort! Bubs love it. Supper easy n gentle on their tummy. Affordable price+

Best toddler formula in my opinion 🙂 Tastes like milk sather than sweetened and flavoured like many others on the market. Mixes easily and product is very well priced for the quality.
