What's the difference between normal formulas, 'gold' formulas and 'gold plus' formulas? Is it just marketing or is there actually a nutritional difference? ------------- http://www.bump-and-beyond.com">

The gold plus has a fruit/vege extract in it that makes the bowel movements a lot softer and easier to pass as it slightly irritates the bowel. The extract they use is taken from foods like onion and banana. ------------- DD1 May 2006 DD2 March 2011 DD3 August 2012 |

Woops and I forgot to say that gold has Omega 3 fish oils and other "smart" proteins which enhances brain activity. The gold plus has this and the vege protein in it which helps the bowels move. ------------- DD1 May 2006 DD2 March 2011 DD3 August 2012 |

The gold formulas can tend to cause constipation, they are normally advertised as being for hungrier babies as well. -------------

I sat on the floor of the supermarket one day and compared the tins contents... and have gone for the Heinz Nuture Gold. I found the one for hungrier babies caused him to get very constipated, this one so far has been really good. ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

| we use gold too (s26)...the stage one constipated her a little but stage two has been awesome....think the plus one meant that she would spill less but never got that as once on formula she was more spilly anyways,..... |
