Really need some advice re using formula..urgent!!!
Hi Ladies,
I am hoping you can help.
My LO is 5 weeks today, formula feed on Aptamil.
He is increasing having problems with wind, tried infacol which seems to have stopped working. So, I am going to try Colief from this evening. However, I have soon noticed that it's a real faff getting the drops in a warm bottle 4 hours prior to feeding - although I can managed this in the home.
My question is, have any of you used Colief when you are out and about? What is the best way to manage?
For those not using colief, how do you make feeds up out of the house? I used to just add powder to cooled boiled water, but cannot do this with Colief. So do any off you take made up formula out? How do you keep it at the right temp etc?
Really need help, as going out tomorrow!!!!
Thanks

He had problems bringing his wind up too, and we used to use infacol. But like you it was a faff putting it in the bottle, i used to just add it before i warmed it through. Sorry if im not much help xxx
Sorry, not much help I know!
Doodles - did you find that by just adding the drops just before feeding made any difference, as in do you think it still worked?
Have you tried gripe water? Olivr is a windy baby, at both ends lol! Infacol stopped working for him around 3.5 weeks but yo ucan use gripe water from 1 month. You give a syringe worth just before a feed of 5ml (you an get syringes from chemists or they are in your bounty pack). We used to give him 2.5ml before feed and 2.5ml half way through to help and it really does. We have decreased it to 2.5ml at the start now and even though he does have wind he can clear it himself.
It's worth a try.xx
I have heard Colief v good but dentinox drops as good but cheaper? Not tried either myself though so just a thought x
