jett had a massive reaction to the heinz gold 2 a few months back, they changed something in it.
he lost over 2kgs and was throwing up constantly, was feverish and at one point was so sick and floppy he ended up in hospital on a fluid drip. i had him to the doc over 15 times in 2 weeks!
funny as heinz STILL havnt got back to me on that! i spoke to 4 different people and none have got back to me.

Just wondering if anyone can help - Luke has had one tin of the new formula and has has terrible diarrhoea! It goes everywhere!! There seems to be nothing else wrong with him and I am fairly sure it is the formula doing it. Wondering if I can change to the gold follow on - should I have any problems changing over to that?

I'd definately try something else. I wonder if any of this formula came from China? Apparently some did get on our shelves and it seems such a coincidence that all our bubs have reacted. I dont think we ever had the new stuff as I didnt notice any change and it was around the time we were shifting to cows milk...now THAT caused diarrhoea

I agree with Peachy, I wouldnt touch the stuff
Apparently the Nan formula is of a similar consistency
how far off cows milk is he?

Caden had been on Heinz Nuture since he was a month old and he had no problems with the old stuff but when they changed it, he got the runs. I didnt think anything of it until I read about lots of other babies having reactions.
I took him straight off it and onto Nestle NAN, but had to change from that because he was in agony with wind  Now he is on the Heinz Nuture with the purple lid as that is still the same thank god, and he is fine.
I hate how they went and changed the blue lid one, Caden was brilliant on it until they went and messed with the ingrediants! Grrrr

It makes me so cross that the formula can be changed without telling anyone - this is the only food sorce for some babies  . I heard that they are restricted on what publicity they can put out - I think it is because of the stupid WHO pro-breastfeeding guidelines NZ has signed up to. Don't they realise that restricting the information is making babies sick and putting their health at risk. I know that breast is best - don't they think that many FF mums would BF if they could. GGGRRRRR
Sorry - rant over

jaycee I couldnt agree more, it really utterly pisses me off! I also read that they are restricted as to what publicity they can put out. And on all the tins it basicly says "brest is best and to consult a doc before putting your baby on formula" obviously MOST women have a damn good reason for using formula, so when they do and eff around with it like this it really hacks me off.
They need more info on formula!!

I read on the TMMB that the sachets are the old stuff, so might get a few of them to help wean him over to something else...
Just a bit reluctant to put him on cows milk becuase we live in the country and it would be really annoying if I ran out of milk (and I do all the time!).

I might buy a sachet and see if its the old stuff.
Although, Caden is doing well on the purple lid one, so I wont change him again unless he starts to not agree with the one he is on. Im SICK of changing formulas.

There was a huge thread on trade me about this. One of the ladies , who had really ypung twins ended up going to fair go and they ended up doing a story on it, after the thread topped 400 post, heinz made up a username and posted an apology in the thread, not only for lying to all the worried mothers that phoned and were told nothing had chaged but also for not informing mothers in the first place, then they released an article to the media so fair go pulled the story and 3 news done it instead last week i think.

wish i had seen the fair go article!
Bel, a teacher I used to work with uses powdered cows milk for the exact same reason, they live in Beachlands and there is only a dairy so really expensive to buy milk, apparently you use a cup of powder per litre, not sure what the taste difference is but you could ask plunket or something?
I have heard that its easy to wean them onto the nestle nan brand thats what alot of my friends have done, apparently its the same thickness and similar taste as the nurture

wow that is soooo expensive!
I was so fed up with formula that I just put my boy on cows milk (he was 2 weeks off turning one anyway) so never investigated other formulas, they must be making a mint on the stuff

I think it's time that mum's started standing up for themselves and made enough noise that all the formula co's either ditch the WHO code completely or look at getting it revised. It's not set in law so none of them actually have to abide by it but none of them want to go it alone and not stick with it. We need to start writing in force to Min of health and the companies themselves. I'm about to do it because I'm furious at the lack of information and at this stage the co's have absolutely no accountability because they're not required to give us any info. In saying that, once I've actually asked for specific info I've been given it - but I don't think we should have to ask - it should be freely available from all health professionals - not just those who have bothered to learn about it. To many of them are sticking thier heads in the sand.
Sorry for the rant but I'm fed up with meeting other women who feel like me - I think we should all make a stand and say it's not good enough!
