Aptamil Formula

[vanessa]

This is the latest suggestion for May and her tummy/colic symptoms from the HV. She refused to take Cow and Gate Comfort (After I had bought the new teats too!!) and screamed her head off when I tried to feed it to her (fussy little drama queen)

So, Aptamil is the next one to try. HV suggested the extra hungry one, not sure why...perhaps cos she's a bit older and quite a big girl now (almost 12lbs)

Anyone else use this and what do you think of it?

Thanks x

I used Aptamil from birth to 6 months with Ophelia and she was fine No problems at all.
I know lots of other people who have used it too with no probs.
Hope it goes well xxxx

i started Archie on aptamil 1st themn put him on stage 2 as he was taking so much it was making him sick
i had nothing but trouble with it he constasntly had wind, bellyache and general colic symptoms. i now have him on cow and gate plus and he seems slightly better
i did hear however after i changed him to c and g that there is an aptamil easy digest which is meant to be good, but overall i didnt rate the milk it seemed watery, even the stage 2
Archie is a very fussy whingey baby tho..if his eyes are open hes bawling lol so maybe it was just him xx

fabulous...... i tried sma, cow and gate.... they all gave fin rubbery heavy poos and tummy aches. it is more watery and finer than other milks but that works better for fin as he digested it better. we used hungry baby version up until about three weeks ago.... it has different effects on different babies... if you find it lays a bit heavy switch back to number 1. xxx

I had olivia on cow & gate for first 2 weeks after she was born and my god she just screamed all the time, I had tried everything teats bottles infacol and all the rest of it.

I took the decision myself and moved her onto aptamil and the difference was just unreal. I had no more screaming and crying after bottles, she then started to sleep through from 7pm to 7am and once moved onto the aptamil I had no more sleepless nights, Then went up the stages and kept her on it til she was 1

I have recently stopped breastfeeding and moved to aptamil and have had no problems at all. I had in the past tried sma gold but that was just vomitted back out a few hours later. The aptamil seems to sit very well on her stomach, no wind problems or tummy ache so far.

i use it - it is great! I used SMA initially and she was always sicky and unsettled - she is still a little unsettled at times (due to reflux) but she is much better xx

We use aptamil too after I was reccommended it by loads of friends...Fraser does just fine on it. Only thing I would say is that my HV told me not to use the hungrier baby one as new research shows that it is too heavy for babies to digest and causes problems in later life. Not sure if this can be right as Im sure loads of babies have or have had it but just thought Id mention what I was told x

I used aptimal when courtney was first born, then easy digest aptimal, then cow and gate comfort then sma lf then to sma gold!! I think it really just depends on the baby and how they react to it... hope it goes down well
