Heinz Nurture Follow on Formula

Has anyone noticed a difference lately? Our new tin is a different shape, lid etc and the actual formula seems a different consistency? Its quite powdery if you know what I mean and when mixing it it froths up a huge amount, like I may as well be feeding him a fluffy! Has anyone else noticed a difference or is this just a weird tin? He doesnt seem to mind and drinks it as usual

i've just started the starter infant formular and it's realy frothy. i try not to shake but to swirl and it's still real bubbly.

this tin is smooth rather than having the usual indents in it, the lid is plain instead of having the name embossed into it etc, it says expires sep 2010 so isnt off, wonder whats up with it, hate the frothiness its horrible

oh no - I've still got 2 and a half tins here of nurture starter which is the same as its always been (we live out in the country so I always have a couple around so I dont run out) - I really hope Zoey doesn't have an issue with it as it dont want to have to change :(

And I looked on their website and couldn't find anything about the change and their pics are all with the old tins

SimoneF, funny you mention this! I too phoned the company as its way more frothy and the consistency of the powder is more grainy and although I was thinking how different it was, it wasn't until DH mentioned to me about that I actually acted upon it. I was quite surprised he even was aware of the difference without me mentioning it!

Anyway, they assured me that it was exactly the same formula etc etc.

Since Lauren started on a new tin yesterday she has heaps of wind and spewed three times. She can get her own wind up no trouble, but she is definately different on it than the old style powder.

The old tins have ribbed bands, the new tins are completely smooth with no ribbing around them, IYKWIM??

Interesting.

Thats the same reason she said to me aswell about not having to shake it anymore. It didn't bother me having to shake it, infact I have a habit of shaking it and now it ends up a big bottle of froth!!!!!!

I think it smells different too, it smells much like that milk powder you can get for adults

exactly its a habit now! i tried to stir it but now he has a complex and wont open his mouth if a bottle comes near it!
he has always had wind issues and i think this is just making it worse

Hi Ladies, have not been on here for ages...
My friend told me today that her plunket nurse had said there had been issues with babies and this formula. The reason is that they are using milk powder from Belgium where they feed there cattle on grains and hay in comparison to ours which are grass fed. The Plunket nurse told my friend that the GOLD follow on uses NZ ingredients. I haven't researched myself, but maybe worth looking into?

Hi BsMum, I just figured out who you were, long time no see I had a name change too - previously "Amber".

That's interesting about the formula. We're using this formula too but haven't had any trouble with it. Livvy would spill up after every feed when she was on the 0-6mth gold one so we never tried the gold in the follow-on formula. Maybe we should now.

I am tempted to do try Lauren on the old stuff again. Reason being is she is covered from head to toe with a spotty rash, and it is seriously bad. I have been to the docs twice and the only thing they can put it down to is a virus BUT thinking back now, Lauren started on the new formula on Sunday morning, by Sunday night she had this horrific rash appear, seems to much of a coincidence to me.   Hhmmmmmm I am not entirely convinced this "rash" is viral, I am leaning more towards a reaction......

I tried to call the helpline again, but of course they finished at 4pm
