Frequently asked questions
Is Aldi formula safe for newborns in Australia?
Yes. Infant formula sold in Australia must meet strict FSANZ standards regardless of brand. Aldi's Mamia Stage 1 formula meets those requirements and is priced at $16.99 for a 900 g tin, compared to $19.00 at Coles, Woolworths and IGA.
Are Aldi Mamia nappies any good?
Aldi's Mamia nappies have consistently positive reviews from Australian parents and are regularly compared favourably to Huggies and Pampers. They come in at $14.67 for a 3 × 28 pack, cheaper than Coles and Woolworths, both of which charge $16.05 for a 3 × 30 pack equivalent.
Which supermarket is cheapest for a newborn baby basket in Australia?
No single store stocks all six items in this basket. Buying each item at the cheapest available store costs $61.93 in total. Aldi is cheapest on nappies, wipes and formula; Woolworths is the only major chain stocking breast pads; and IGA is the only source for nappy rash cream. Baby bath wash was not available at any of the four stores.

Of the four stores in this comparison, Aldi, Coles, Woolworths and IGA, only Woolworths stocks breast pads, at $7.50 for a 40-pack. Aldi, Coles and IGA did not have them available this week.
