Changing from Aptamil to SMA Stay Down - any advice?
Dear All,
my lo seems to be suffering from quite bad refliux and the hv has recommended moving to Stay Down formula. We have now got hold of the SMA Stay Down & know that sometimes changing formula can have a negative affect on baby's digestive system. I was just wondering if anyone has switched formula & had any advice so I can make this transition as smooth as possible?
Thank you,
Dx

The reason I didn't do this was that I thought that it would be better for us to see whether the Staydown worked and if we mixed it with normal formula. it would've taken longer to see whether it was working but it really depends on what you prefer to do for your LO

We didnt have any problems, only reason we did it that way is cause the dr only gave up 1 tin to start with, and told us to mix it.
Think we started with 1 bottle a day of SMA, and gradually increased it over 2 weeks.
I was a bit bothered that he might become constipated, but this hasn't been a problem judging by the 3 dirty nappies we've had in the last 24 hours!
Thanks for your help,
much appreciated,
Dx
