My baby is 12 weeks old and has been on SMA since day 2 of life... He used to poo every 2nd day then it slowly went to every 3 days then every 4 days. He wound strain but not much and never seemed in pain when pooing but the poo was always dark green and very paste like. So last week we tried switching him to Cow and gate... He took it ok but In the last few days he dropped from 5oz bottles to only taking 3oz... I know we should have persevered a bit longer but I was stressing and he had only pooed once on the Cow and gate and it was the same consistency. So last night we went back to sma- he is back to taking 5oz bottles so I thought we had made a good decision... But after pooing on saturday he has now just gone again (not gone every 2nd day for about 2 months) and it was a much healthier yellow colour and less paste like. Now I realise this is probably the cow and gate eventually getting into his system.

I just don't know what to do now? Go back to cow and gate which I'm not sure he likes very much but seems now to make him poo better. Or stick to SMa which he has grown and thrived on and seems to like but makes him constipated - although this isn't making him too unhappy

Help please?!?
