When we stopped BF I started with Aptamil as that's what LO had in hospital when we were topping him up and he was fine on it. Once we started with full feeds on Aptamil he was throwing up the whole feed after every feed and after speaking to the HV we thought it could be reflux but she suggested trying another brand of formula first before anything else. I decided to go with Hipp Organic because I'd only read good things on here and I liked the idea of organic. Instead of stopping Aptamil straight away I finished the tub and LO actually seemed to settle down on it, with only small amounts of sick now and then (what I'd consider normal), however I'd already bought Hipp and was decided on the fact that that's what I wanted him to have going forward so I swapped BUT the awful vomitting started again
I assumed he just needed to get used to it like he did with Aptamil but it's gone on for much longer now (although not every feed but at least half of them) I really don't think he has reflux as he has no signs of discomfort except for the moment immediately before he vomits then he's fine again. I just don't think it agrees with him but I'm scared to mess him about and make it worse by swapping back to Aptamil. Do I persevere with Hipp and hope he settles, but for how long or should I go back to Aptamil and hope we don't end up back at square one?
I'm so mad at myself for swapping when things had settled
Any advice or similar experiences?
