Deciding on the right follow-on formula can be a daunting task for many families, particularly with so many options available.
Bonya has reported overwhelmingly positive feedback for its Stage 2 Follow-On Milk after participating in a Test & Rated campaign led by First Time Mums UK.
To ensure honest reviews, First Time Mums UK enlisted 20 mothers of babies aged 6 to 12 months to trial Bonya’s Stage 2 formula and share their impressions. The trial explored multiple areas, including ease of preparation, baby acceptance, digestion, taste, and value.
Bonya’s Stage 2 Follow-On Milk sets itself apart through its nutritional quality, affordability, and thoughtful formulation. Made with milk fats, free from palm oil and fish oil, and certified Halal and Kosher friendly, the product is also part of a charitable partnership with In Kind Direct — providing support to families who need it most.
When preparing feeds, 80% of mums noted how easy it was to mix, with no clumps and a smooth consistency. As for acceptance, 60% of babies enjoyed it immediately, 25% took a few attempts, and 15% needed more time — but importantly, none rejected it outright.
In terms of digestion, 80% of parents said their babies had no issues such as constipation or stomach upset, showing that Bonya was well tolerated by most infants.
Regarding taste, 45% of mums said the formula tasted and smelled good, while 20% rated it as excellent. Many remarked on the mild flavour and creamy texture, both of which helped make the transition easier.
Comments from testers included:
“The taste is good, not overpowering, and just sweet enough.”
“It’s thick, creamy, and smells good.”
“I like that the formula doesn’t contain fish oil like most brands.”
Quality and nutrition scored highly, with 95% of participants expressing confidence in the product.
Affordability also stood out — Bonya achieved an average score of 4.7 out of 5 for cost-effectiveness. With 80% of mums citing affordability as a key consideration, this feedback highlights the brand’s ability to combine quality with value.
The brand’s social impact resonated strongly too. Over 80% of testers praised Bonya’s charity initiative, offering reflections like:
“The charitable aspect is amazing – formula is expensive, and not everyone can afford it.”
“It’s great to see a brand giving back and supporting families in need.”
“Knowing that buying Bonya helps other parents makes me feel even better about choosing it.”
Yana Abramova, Founder of First Time Mums UK, shared her reaction:
“We’re thrilled to see such positive feedback from our community about Bonya Follow-On Milk. It’s clear that parents are not only confident in its quality and nutrition but also feel reassured knowing they’re giving their little ones a product they can trust.
“These results reflect the real impact of thoughtful, science-backed nutrition in the first crucial years of life.”
In conclusion, 90% of participating mums said they would recommend Bonya Stage 2 Follow-On Milk to other parents — a strong endorsement of a formula that blends affordability, digestibility, and purpose.
