Cow & Gate Comfort

I've been told to try babe on this. Wondering what your experiences are with it.

I changed my LO from first infant to this due to very bad wind, and he's been great with it! He's not half as windy as he used to be, feed times used to be a nightmare because hed just scream crying in pain. I'm really glad I put him on it!

This is the same reason I was told to go on to Comfort. She only gained 1oz last week as her amounts had dropped because she is too windy during feeding, gets really uncomfortable and has trouble bringing it up despite me trying every position to burp her.

Poor girl's in pain.. Hoping this milk starts to work soon.

We had no problem at all with C&G Comfort Milk. The only thing I would say, is be prepared to try a slightly bigger teat on the bottles. Dh and I had no end of concerns because it looked like there was debri in the bottle, when infact it's the milk doing it's thing.

Definitely recommend trying it, particularly as it's easy to purchase.

I agree with dragonhalk... We use tommee tippee bottles with a variflow teat.

Because of her cleft palate she has to have special bottles and teats. They don't really do different flow teats. There are newborn teats and then one for "all ages", my cleft nurse told me to try the all ages teat so I ordered a few of those. Seems to be coming out okay from the newborn teat but yesterday it stopped coming out and I had to get another teat out.

It works well for us. Better than aptamil anyway.

We use a number 3 teat as its thick.

I tried her with the bigger teat and her amounts are improving. Today I think she might even reach the amount she "should be having". She also doesn't have half as much wind as she did before and seems to get it up easier. Colic in the evening is still really bad though. But it's only been a few days on the new milk.

Pleased to hear things are improving already. My LO took less after going on comfort milk because its a lot thicker, but he's now back up to what he was on before. Have you tried other things like infacol or Colief for her colic? Colief is amazing apparantly x

I tried Colief and infacol, neither helped. Also can't use any other remedies with this milk apparently.

My LO Was awful with Colic.. I barely slept because of it I tried him on Cow and Gate Comfort.. And he was so much better! Honestly, it was more than worth it for me I'd definitely reccommend it. x

She is having a really bad day with wind. Has been screaming most of the day
