We live in the US and quality, easy to digest formula we can trust is hard to come by. Literally. It never stays stocked and we have a shortage! Our little guy finally was on a formula that worked well for him, but it was a store's generic and they just suddenly stopped stocking it, with no warning or explanation. I can't even order it online nationwide. I switched him, in emergency mode, to one of the top two name brand formulas in the US, and he started having extreme constipation and pain when going to the bathroom. After crying watching him writhe in pain, I decided enough was enough and tried the weird, Australian, Goat milk formula tucked to the side of all the other formulas in our grocery store. He IMMEDIATELY improved. To the point that it wasn't even worth it to cut in the old formula with the new. I threw that old crap away. He is back to one, pain free bowel movement a day. He immediately liked the formulas taste and is just as enthusiastic to drink this as he was the cow's milk formulas. And, I had honestly never looked at the ingredients before, but American formulas have some questionable blends to say the least. Our first ingredient is corn syrup, and Bubs' first ingredient is Goat Milk Solids, with no added syrups or sweeteners to be found. Just good ol lactose, which naturally occurs in breastmilk, cows milk, and goats milk. I can't believe I never looked into this sooner.
