Aussie Bubs – yes, Aussie Bubs Toddler formulas are FDA label compliant and they are also produced in our fully company owned and controlled, FDA registered site.

Bubs Australia –The US Government & FDA have recently approved Bubs Australia Infant Formula products to be imported to the US to support with the current infant formula shortage. Our Bubs Australia Infant Formula products are produced in the same US FDA registered and fully company owned facility as our Aussie Bubs Toddler Formula. All our Bubs Australia products are certified under the stringent guidelines of all Australian regulations for Infant and Toddler Nutrition. This includes the Australian State & Federal Government Regulatory and export quality controls and the Foods Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) code for infant and toddler formula.

Bubs Australia Infant Formulas have been approved by the FDA & the Whitehouse as an approved infant formula brand to help support American families through the current infant formula crisis.

The FDA have completed thorough checks on our products before approving them to be safe, clean and nutritionally sound for American babies.

While our current infant formula products were not previously approved under the current guidelines issued by the FDA, here in Australia we follow very strict food safety guidelines issued by FSANZ.

Currently we are working with the US Government on next steps to bring Bubs Australia to the USA.

We will keep our website updated with the latest updates on where you will be able to buy Bubs Infant Formulas.

Once Bubs Infant Formulas arrive we will prioritise the shipping of our products to retailers as quick as we can. Once we have addressed the immediate need of families, we will provide access to the Bubs formula on our Aussie Bubs website.

Infant formula typically has a modified whey: casein ratio (60:40) to bring it closer to that found in breastmilk which is whey-dominant. 

The Whey to Casein ratio changes with the formula and with the changing nutritional demand for babies, for example in Stage 3, it drops to the natural levels of whey to casein in milk of around 80:20.

Given the current shortage in the US you are not alone. Switching formula brands can take time, so do be patient as your baby transitions to the new formula.

HOWEVER – If your baby is on a specialty formula or has an allergy, sensitivity or other issues with past formula ingredients, always talk to your paediatrician before switching.

All babies react to change in formula differently. Due to the sensitivity of their tiny tummy, they may experience some change in their digestion or stool pattern or color for a few days. If you notice anything unusual or your baby seems uncomfortable, call your paediatrician to give your baby a smooth transition from their current formula to Bubs. Some pediatricians recommend mixing your previous formula with the new formula (see chart below), and if your baby tolerates the new formula, you can gradually increase the amount of new formula and decrease the amount of previous formula in the bottle over a few days.

If transitioning is an option, we recommend following the below table:

In Australia we have specific standards & nutritional requirements for our infant nutrition for each stage & stage of development

These age brackets follow the stringent infant nutrition guidelines set by FSANZ (the food safety guidelines we follow in Australia), as 0-6 month old babies, have different nutrient requirements for 6-12 months babies). These age specific nutrition guidelines were made to more closely approximate breast milk nutrients which evolve as babies age.

We recommend starting your baby on the formula that is closest to their age bracket as these are developed for the specific nutritional needs of that aged baby.

For Toddler Milk formula (ages 12-36 months), as per Paediatric advice, is fine to use for babies who are 6months + and already on solid foods. Of course, always check with your Paediatrician if unsure and definitely only use a specialty formula, if your baby has special medical needs.

Bubs Cows Milk Formula is dual certified organic in Australia with our Australian Certified Organic (ACO) & National Association for Sustainable Agriculture (NAASA) certifications, which are both rigorous certifications and audited on an annual basis.

Drinking water which is safe enough to be consumed by humans with minimal risk of short-term or long-term harm.

For example: cooled previously boiled water (ensure you check the temperature before giving to baby)

For best solubility results with all stages of formula, we do recommend that previously boiled, and cooled water is used up to between 40-45C/104-113F, poured into the bottle, then add the required number of scoops of powder as per the preparation instructions into the water & shake or mix/stir well

Always check the formula is at body temperature first and test the temperature before giving it to your baby

Bubs products utilise whole milk powder as part of their base ingredients, as it provides infants with more nutrients and fat. At this early stage of life fat is essential for optimal brain, cognitive and improved visual development

By utilising whole milk babies are receiving a more natural, complete food. Often when skim milk powder is used the introduction of other fats is necessary to achieve the ideal fat ratio to make the product a ‘complete food’. By utilising whole milk this limits the addition of other fats being added as some of this fat is found naturally in whole milk.

Whole cow’s milk is also naturally higher in vitamins such as potassium, iron, and vitamin E.

Our date codes are a little different to your dates in the USA. In Australia, and with all our Bubs products, we follow a Day, Month, Year format (DD, MM, YYYY).

The first two numbers in the code represent the day, the next two letters the month, and the next two numbers the year.

The Use By Date is the “Expiry Date” – after this date your product should not be consumed.

The “EST Number” is the Australian Government Approved Exportation Establishment Number for the manufacture and export of dairy products.
8 digit batch number is also known as the Lot Number

6-digit number after the EST 2612 represents the serial number of the tin in a particular batch.

Given the current shortage in the US you are not alone. Switching formula brands can take time, so do be patient as your baby transitions to the new formula.

The recommended age for Toddler Formula is 12 months +

However, if your baby is 6 months old plus, eating solids & you have consulted with your pediatrician, you can safely use Toddler Formula

Talk to your paediatrician about whether toddler formula is appropriate nutrition for your older infant (age 6 months+) depending on their diet and growth.

Please keep the temperature at a maximum of 40C 104F since we want to preserve the probiotics in the formula. Please ensure you put in the water first, then the powder, and then stir.

Please be sure NOT to add hot water to the powder then wait for it to cool down before stirring since this will cause clumping.

Yes!

Bubs Organic formula range contains DHA (Omegsa-3) and ARA (Omega -6). These are long chain fatty acids.

Bubs advanced organic grass-fed formulation carries a PPO+ icon. The PPO+symbol stands for our high-quality ingredients & formulation, including Prebiotics, Probiotics, Organic Plus (PPO+) other nutrients to help support your growing baby and toddlers nutritional needs.

Our additional nutrients include DHA & ARA as well as 16 or more additions vitamins & minerals (depending on the formula stage)

For Bubs Goat Milk formula, the whey to Casein ration changes with the formula and with the changing nutritional demand for babies.

For example, Stages 1 & 2 have 60% whey protein and 40% casein. In stage 3, it drops to the natural levels of whey to casein in milk of around 80:20

We recommend using the tin within 4 weeks once opened. Alternatively, if the opened tin is stored in the fridge once opened, you could extend it by another couple of weeks.

However please note that once you take the tin out of the fridge, it needs to go back in quickly to avoid condensation and clumping of powder

Bubs goat formula and all goat milk products do contain the same milk protein that is found in cow’s milk protein, which is associated with the medical condition known as Cow’s Milk Protein Allergy. Therefore, Bubs Goat Milk formula, is not a suitable alternative for babies with diagnosed CMPA. If in doubt, we strongly advise that you discuss this with your healthcare professional first before deciding to introduce your baby to Goat Formula

No Bubs Goat Milk formulas do not contain soy oil

However they do contain naturally derived soy lecithin which is used as an emulsifier to reduce the likelihood of separation of the oils in the formula from the water used to hydrate the formula.

Yes, our goat’s milk infant formula is nutritionally complete for infants from –0-6 months

Our formula range meets the strict Food Standards Australia & New Zealand (FSANZ) requirements.

All infant formulas in Australia MUST meet the complete nutritional needs to babies for the first 6 months before starting solids

Please also note, all our Bubs Infant Formula products also meet the nutritional requirements of the US Infant Formula Act.

Not necessarily. Goat milk naturally supports gentle digestion and may be a good alternative for other babies, not just those with sensitive tummies.

However, it is important that for babies with any possible allergies, to consult with a health care professional. For any special needs baby who have been advised to only use a specialty formula, such as fully or partially hydrolysed formulations, then any dairy based formula, cannot be used

Goat milk infant formula is proven to be a safe and suitable alternative to cow and soy formulas and is growing in popularity around the world. In fact, goat milk as an adult dairy milk, is consumed by more people around the world than cow milk, due to its accessibility and traditional use as an easier to digest source of dairy protein.

Bubs Goat Milk formula contains all the same essential nutrients as cow milk formulas and meets all stringent nutritional guidelines set out in Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ). The standards clearly define the nutritional content limits and our products deliver the optimum amount of carbohydrate, protein content, etc. according to these standards. The key ingredients in our formula are goat milk solids (>40% goat whole milk and goat whey), vegetable oil blend and essential fatty acids. We also add 16 vitamins and minerals, and advanced supplements: DHA Omega-3, ARA Omega-6, and prebiotic GOS for optimum nutrition, growth and development.

Goat milk formula has several key features that have greater similarity to breast milk compared to cow milk formula. For example, goat milk has a higher content of medium chain fatty acids (MCFA) than cow milk.

The main attraction to a goat formula is its natural digestibility and lower levels of lactose. Unlike cow milk, goat milk does not contain agglutinin. As a result, the fat globules in goat milk do not cluster together, making them easier to digest. Goat milk also contains more essential fatty acids which make it easier for intestinal enzymes to digest. Goat milk contains only trace amounts of an allergenic casein protein, alpha-S1, that is found in cow milk. It is thought that this is why goat milk is better tolerated than cow milk by some babies. 

Goat milk typically forms smaller fat globules and softer curd than cow milk protein, so it naturally supports gentle digestion. Parents often comment that after switching their baby from cow formula to Bubs goat formula, the number and consistency of bowel movements improve and closely resemble those when they were fed breast milk. Parents who have babies that regularly regurgitate cow milk formula have told us their baby can tolerate goat milk and settle easily. 

Whilst our Bubs Australian Goat Milk is not certified organic, you can rest assured our goat milk product is free from any artificial additives, including preservatives and added hormones. In addition, our goat milk farmers are required to meet strict requirements on farming practices including pesticide use. Plus, just like the rest of our Bubs Formula range, our Bubs Australian Goat Milk formula products, have been certified as clean label, and awarded the Clean Label Purity Award. This means they have been independently, and third party validated as pure nutrition free from heavy metals, pesticide residues, plasticizers and other chemicals and toxins

These are the guidelines that are followed in AUS & NZ & are recognized internationally as being of incredibly high standards. In fact, in April 2017, the Australian Government, signed an agreement with the US Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) recognising Australia’s food safety system and the US food safety system are comparable/ equivalent to each other.
