worth changing to aptimal comfort?

[okciv]

anyone changed from aptimal 1 to comfort & seen a difference in their baby?

Fin hated it - it smells and tastes vile! He could hardly drink it coz it's that thick so I definite non-recommendation from us!

We changed a month ago and have seen a hugely positive change in my baby. She still has obvious digestive problems but the comfort has made things so much easier for her without having to try prescription milk, the full effect has taken about 3 weeks. She is calmer, poos every day and her bottom wind and cramping is less painful. (she does also take baby zantac for silent reflux) I didn't think she would drink the comfort after being on Aptamil 1st milk but we were lucky because she took no notice at all and enjoys comfort, personally I think it smells terrible but she likes it. We did need to change the flow to level 2 on our Dr Brown bottles but the thicker consistency suited her and it stopped her guzzling so much. x

We were using cow & gate, but we switched from stage 1 to comfort, and it made a huge difference to his constipation and trapped wind. If LO has symptoms that suggest it may help, I'd certainly recommend giving it a try - you can always switch back again if you need to!

we noticed a huge improvement with Harrisons constipation due to comfort milk. It also helped his reflux slightly x

My LO Didnt take to it very well, it is very thick and does smell/taste vile.
Harrison was also had very smelly bottom burps and the nappies were interesting too lol xxxxxxxxx

Kitty likes it although we have to use a 3 teet as 2's constantly blocked for us so there is some dribbling but no choking. She used to scream in pain with hard poo's and squeezing out farts made her howl as well it was horrible. Now yes she still farts all the time and they are stinky and yes her poo's are runny and green but she is so much happier bless her.

Hi,

I changed my lo to Aptimal Comfort yesterday and no improvement yet - but it can take up to 2 weeks it says.
It take ages to feed him and he is not taking as much (we are gone up to size 2 teat so its not because of the flow) - I think it must be the taste - I reckon he doesnt like it at all.
Hoping it will get better within the next few days.

If you are changing to it - be prepared that your lo might not like it and feeding could get difficult - but if it makes them better it will be worth it.

The reason your LO isn't taking as much is because it is thicker, and therefore more filling. It doesn't mean he doesn't like it!

Well it is a bit of a different case for me but Aliyah was on SMA Gold and it wasn't for her so i changed her to Aptamil comfort milk.
It was the best thing i ever done and she loved it and enjoyed her feeds x

This may be abit "unhelpful" lol as i have changed FROM Aptimal comfort TO Aptimal 1st milk...my LO was on aptimal comfort for constipation as it was supposed to help his stolls softern a bit well lets just say it did it's job! lol it does take some time getting used too becuase at first it made his poos very runny and green tehn after a few days it went to it's usual mustardy colour Sorry tmi..but the reason i changed to aptimal first was it seemed to go straight through him! and seemed to be more like a laxitive then just helping his stools softern, as you may hear the milk is very thick, it doesnt even smell or taste like baby milk (yes lol i tasted it) and i'm sure my Lo was never really full up after drinking 5oz from it so it wasnt the milk for us i guess....Now he is on the aptimal first and he is a changed baby, he is now much fuller for longer and the milk tastes and smells like baby milk should, it isnt too thick for him to get out of the bottle and he gets to poo normally...

I dont know what your reason is for thinking of changing over milks but if your thinking becuase of your LO suffereing form constipation then from experience i would advise you give your LO cooled boiled water inbetween feeds and stay on the first milk, My LO has 1 or 2oz of cooled boiled water in between feeds and he hasnt since had constipation
