Hi,
Just wondering if anyone could advise on if it is normal for my LO to initially have digestive problems & spend hours grunting and itching in his basket due to a formula feed?
I have recently introduced a formula bottle at the 10pm feed, for the 1st few days I gave 5 ounces of an Aptimal carton, which he was acting a little bit like he was struggling to do a poo during the night but had a dirty nappy so it was more like he just was in pain. Then last week I gave him a bottle made up from Aptimal powder, which he ended up having a way worse nights sleep - spent a good part of the night seep breathing and struggling even whimpered & let out a few cries, so I stopped giving formula for 2 nights & he was fine again, now I am back to giving Aptimal cartons and it is not as bad as the powder but he still seems restless and struggling when in his basket.
I'm a little worried as I don't know what formula to try him on now as it sounds as if Aptimal is the closest to breastmilk and the lightest, from posts I've read people change over to try and help their LO with constipation.....so I'm guessing the other ones would be worse for him?
Could he have an allergic reaction to Cows milk? Or would he come out in a rash? I've heard things about goats milk being better for their digestive system, has anyone tried it?
Thanks a mil
