should I change his formula??
Hi Everyone,
my son is 7 weeks old and from about 2 weeks he has suffered with tummy pains and we have bouts of crying all day everyday, I tried infacol for a week but it didn't realy help and made him quite sick. as soon as he was a month old I used gripe water which really helps however his tummy pains are still there and seem to effect him after or during a feed.
He is currently on SMA gold, is putting on a healthy amount of weight and is not sick at all however I think he has trouble digesting it - I'm tempted to try eith cow & gate comfort milk or Apamil comfort as I have read that the protein is partially digested and it has half the lactose??
What would you do? I am going to speak to my HV tomorrow but would really apprecite some advice
Thanks for reading

Is his bowel movements regular and 'normal' or is he having problems?
We were warned to expect explosive green nappies on this milk, but we haven't experienced this so far.
We are hoping that we can start to reintroduce the normal cow & gate formula in a few weeks, when her body is producing enough lactase to break down the lactose.
When I spoke to my hv, she said that she'd heard of good results from the comfort milk, but I wouldn't have changed without discussing it first. hth xx
