Change formula or wait a while? Help! BF to FF
Oh my goodness, the world of formula is a minefield. It was so much easier when I just had to get my boob out.
Since Sam (9 months) has been on formula (2 weeks) he has had SMA follow on milk. Whilst he seems completely happy in himself, his poos have been frequent, explosive and full of white bits (someone said that is undigested formula?) so I'm not convinced the formula suits him. Would this have happened with any formula or should I change to a different one? Which one is gentlest on their tummies?
Someone suggested he may have a dairy intolerance but whilst still being BFed he had tons of dairy in his solid food and never had a problem so don't think it's that.

So ... another vote for Aptamil x
Hope weaning from boob is going ok, Coco.
i know what you mean about it being easier just to wap the boob out! all this sterilising and measuring is hard work!!!
Thank goodness he seems ok with it, but I am so sick of changing explosive poo nappies! I miss breastfeeding... )-:
XxxX
And lucyah - I mean just the normal, newborn onwards Aptimil. Hope the transition from BF has not been too traumatic for you - my LO has been happy but I've found it really emotional! I want to have another baby really soon so I can breastfeed again!
Hmmm, not sure what to do now. Maybe wait a while longer and see if his tummy settles on the SMA. Seeing HV on Thursday so may wait until then and see what she says, although knowing her track record, I will get far better advice from all of you. :roll:
I've been told by my hv that follow on milk is unneccessary as they should get enough through a varied diet...that said I've also heard ladies on here say it's a waste to change buuuut isn't it a bot cheaper? And youget clubcard points on it too??
Is their nappies getting better at all? X
i took plenty of pictures of lo feeding so i can relive it for now
underwire bras again though! woohoo!

When did his poo change? We have had icky poo for about a week now.....thoughtout he has often got this but I have never changed as his poo was never green. Is his poo green?
It is always one drama after another of some sorts......I am worried when they leave formula totally (which isnt long) and then I really will be stuck with knowing whats what ahhhhhhhh
