The BubsNest Verdict

Kendamil Classic First Infant Milk is widely recommended by UK parents, who frequently report their babies doing very well on this formula, often after transitioning from breastfeeding or other brands. Many highlight its positive impact on digestion, with reduced issues like colic, constipation, and reflux. Customers value its whole milk base, lack of palm oil and artificial additives, and vegetarian-friendly formulation. The pleasant taste and smell are also noted. While some find it pricier than alternatives, most consider it worth the investment for the quality. A small number struggled to find it in stock or had babies who disliked the flavour, but overall it seems to be a reliable, high-performing choice for newborns.
