As parents, the feeding choices you make for your child are yours to take. We know breast milk is the best and provides all benefits your baby needs in life. We also understand that for some parents breastfeeding isn’t always possible, either because they can’t or because they choose not to. That’s why we pride ourselves on supporting you, whatever feeding decision you make.

"Our baby loved it and tolerated it well. Mixed well, premium ingredients, and recommended by friends who live in UK. We highly recommended."
"We used Aptamil in the UK with our oldest son and am so glad that Aptamil is now on Amazon. Our 4 month old loves it so far and my wife said the taste and smell are so much better than the other brand we were using. We are lucky to have this company selling Aptamil here now and not just overseas!"
"We had our baby on a different brand of milk and it didn’t agree with him what so ever, changed to this and it made so much of a difference straight away. We have a much happier baby who loves his bottles!"
"My friend from the UK uses Aptamil so I was excited to find it in the US. Great quality and mixing with a holder on the lid to keep it clean (tho scoop is smaller than normal so 1 scoop = 1oz water). My baby really likes the taste."
"Good value for money, highly recommended if you are mix feeding or just formula feeding."
