Comfort Follow on advice?!
Hi Ladies,
My 'little' man who is 8 months is currently on comfort follow milk, He has always had problems with constipation and hard stools so we've always had him on comfort or doctors milk.
There was a leaflet in the last box we bought that said they wont be making it anymore and to find an alternative.
Do any of the other brands do a comfort (easy digst) follow on? I cant seem to see one? If not, do i just give him a normal comfort milk?
Thanks

I think the reason they recommend Follow-on milk after 6 months is because it has the increased level of iron needed for their diet. But if LO is having a varied diet that may mean you could just try him with regular follow on milk? Foods like lentils and spinach. Also I remember reading that ensuring they drink lots of fluids (including water) in between meals helps with constipation.
Its a bit hit and miss - I remember dreading changing from comfort to regular follow-on milk, I was so worried that my LO would go back to being constipated etc, but he's fine now (he's 9 months old)
Thanks
