Frequently asked questions about formula, pouches and cereals.

Formula

What is the best nutrition for my baby?

For mums who are able to, breastfeeding is best for babies. It delivers many benefits for both mum and baby. Breastmilk contains all the nutrients your growing bub needs to thrive, especially in the first 6 months of life, plus antibodies to help them fight infections. 

It’s important for pregnant and breastfeeding mums to maintain good nutrition. Deciding to use a combination of breast and bottle-feeding for an extended period may reduce your own breast milk supply, and reversing your decision may be difficult.

When using infant formula, follow the feeding guide and preparation directions carefully. Improper use or incorrect preparation of infant formula can make your baby ill.

Consult your doctor or health care professional for advice prior to using the formula to feed your baby. You should also consider the social and financial implications before deciding to use infant formula.

Is your tin recyclable and BPA free?

Yes! Bubs Organic® formula tins are fully recyclable and BPA free; this includes our tins, lids and scoops.

Changing brands or between stages is causing discomfort.

All babies react to changes in formula differently. Due to the sensitivity of their tiny tummy, they may experience some changes in their stools. A baby’s digestive system will settle down. To give your baby a smooth transition from another brand formula to Bubs formula (or between Bubs Formula Stages), it is best to do so gradually by mix feeding with a transition plan by mixing the old and new powders at certain rations over a few days, giving the baby's digestive system a chance to adapt slowly. If your baby’s symptoms persist, seek advice from your healthcare professional.

Below please find a transition plan table:

Do you have formula samples, or can I buy some samples?

Unfortunately, we do not give out or sell samples of Bubs Goat milk formula. We voluntarily comply with World Health Organisation (WHO) recommendations, and the Marketing in Australia of Infant Formulas (MAIF) agreement, which does not support the sampling of infant formulas by manufacturers directly to parents or carers of babies. This means we are unable to supply baby formula samples.

How should you store the formula?

Store your Bubs formula direct from sunlight in a cool, clean location such as a pantry. Ideally under 25°C.

Can you freeze formula?

We don't recommend freezing the formula. You don't need to as it can be stored at room temperature and can be used for up to 4 weeks after opening the foil seal. We do not recommend you freeze any formula in the freezer for a number of reasons. Storing powder in refrigerated conditions exposes the powder to condensation. This can cause the powdered ingredients to clump. As a result, the powder may not mix/reconstitute as well when formula is prepared. We recommend that you store it in the pantry for up to 4 weeks.

Why is there a gap in the tin of formula?

Formula powders are packed by weight, not volume, powder tends to settle and compress over time, so at the time of filling, the product level normally sits higher compared to where it would be in 3 or 4 or 6 months later. Our state of the art equipment weighs every single tin to a high level of accuracy.

Why do you add vegetable oils in your goat formula and not your cow formula?

There are very specific requirements for the fatty acid composition of baby formula, which are regulated by Australian and international standards. The fatty acid composition in Goat milk is also different to Cow milk, so sufficient quantities of the correct type of oil is needed, as different oil types have specific fatty acid properties. We use sustainable palm oil from certified sources for our Goat milk formula, and organic vegetable oil blend of sunflower, coconut, soy canola for our Cow milk formula. This enables the fatty acid composition of our baby formula to meet the required composition under the standards.
