Follow on milk poos
Hi Ladies,
sorry to post a poo question so early in the morning but we switched Jack onto aptamil follow on yesterday and he took to it really well, in fact he drank more yesterday than he has in a long time on his usual formula which was aptamil comfort as he suffered with colic in the first few months.
My question is today his poo is like little hard pellets (like rabbit poo) - I have read that this is normal due to increase in iron when you switch to a follow on milk but did this happen with any of your little ones and how long did it last also what did you do help soften the stools?
Many Thanks

Emilie's poo has been what we call nuggets since starting the follow on milk which is actually a relief after the messy watery ones we were having 2 months ago! But anyway I've been giving her a prune probiotic porridge, I think it is, for the last few days to help her tummy incase she is a bit constipated.
I also found that when she drinks more juice her poo softens quite a lot.

Jack is definatley not constipated anymore, he is back to pooing like a trojan again lol - mummy can worry about something else now!!!
