Which milk to change to??

[bambinono1]

My LO has been on aptamil since birth and aptamil comfort for 3 weeks now but i am wanting to change his milk but dont know what to change him to. He has colic and silent reflux although the last few days he has started spinting up after each feed. He has trouble with doing poos he really strains and it is awfull to watch him in pain, his face goes bright red, he thrashes out with his hands and his whole body goes rigid. i give him an ounce to two ounces of water to try and help him and sometime it works. I just need some advice on which milk to change to, we are taking him to docs on fri for his 2 month check and jabs so will talk to doc then also.
Was thinking of hipp organic, anyone tried this??

Hey sorry to hear you are having a crap time. My 5 week old is on Aptamil and poos really well - sorry to hear it didn't work for you. I have had an awful time trying to find the right milk for her - since she was born she has been on Aptamil comfort, cow and gate, cow and gate comfort, SMA Wysoy and Hipp Organic! I never got to see what she would be like on the Hipp because I made up a bottle for her and she hated the taste - she had about a mouthful and refused to have the rest! She would rather starve! Maybe your LO is lactose intolarant (which would make them constipated and their silent reflux appear worse...) - you could try SMA lacotose I think it's called.....it's lactose free!

We use aptamil & tried a few different ones before settling on it. Lo got constipated on cow & gate and aptamil really sorted it out. We tried Hipp oranic too, but lo wouldn't drink it - she just didn't like the taste just like tiggerpony's lo.

We bought a few little cartons & let lo try a few different ones to check she liked them before buying a whole box of powder.

Hope you find something that works for you

you don't really have many options... try cow & gate...

We tried every brand until we found Hipp Organic. LO has reflux and the others (Aptamil being the worst) made him spit up more. SMA gave him horrible gripey tummy pains and made him hyper! You just have to go through each and try. I really recommend Hipp though for reflux and constipation.

my lo as had silent reflux and wind problems since 3weeks old. he started on aptamil 1st he had no poo problems with this but really bad wind, he then went onto aptamil comfort milk but started being sick and funny enough constipated. changed to hipp organic quite briefly which was better than aptamil but he was still having problems with wind and sick. in the end changed to sma staydown and he as been so much happier and settled ever since.

ive found it to be really trial and error as what seems to suit one baby can really disagree with another.

good luck finding the right milk for your lo, reflux really is awful x
