Title says it all really! 5 month old has been on Kendamil for around a month now since switching due to preferring the natural ingredients but over the last couple days baby has been suffering from a bowel movement after nearly every bottle and seems irritable. Has this happened to anyone else?

Baby had her first dentist appointment today and we found out she has a lip tie. It’s creating a gap in her teeth and the dentist let us know that it will also create a gap in her permanent teeth if we don’t get it removed. Other than that, no issues!
