Comfort colic and constipation milk

Sounds like cows milk protein allergy. You might have to go to the doctors and request a prescription formula. You may have to let the water cool before adding it to the powder x

@Charlotte we have tried warm water and letting it cool. He pooes once every 2 days😫

My little one always has problems with pooping, our GP actually told us a trick and it genuinely works every single time! You get a cotton swab with a little Vaseline and stimulate his bum, so essentially tickle his bum hole, sounds really horrible, but my little one farts so much and then does a poop, also we use the SMA powder, and we never have clumping issues, but it’s different for everyone

@Louise we have tried the whole stimulate his bum, bicycle legs, massages, baths, cooled water, gripe water. Literally everything and it doesn’t do anything. I’m thinking of going with SMA now as c&g is clumping and curdling every bottle we make no matter how we make it x

We use SMA and it’s been brilliant as my little one had problems with constipation and it sorted him out within a few days ☺️ x

@Taya-Eloise it might be worth changing to a different milk, find one that works for your baby x

@Tori that’s reassuring! We were on normal apdamil and now c&g comfort but it’s just not doing anything! Will get some SMA tomorrow if i can🤞🏼x

I think that’s just the comfort milk. We used it and it’s very thick

SMA collic one is really thick. So have to shake it really well otherwise leaves undissolved. It takes a bit time to get baby to settle if baby doesnt settle in a week maybe change it. But do ask Health visitor.

What is this magic milk again? Is this a formula??

We’ve just come away from the SMA comfort after trying it for the same reasons as you, it made our little boys tummy way worse. He would scream in pain while straining to fart/poo. It’s soo thick and gloopy as well, like lumps in the bottom of the bottle thick. I’d personally not recommend at all. I have however heard good things about hipp organic milk, but not personally used it

@N 💞 oh really? Bodhi would scream in pain for hours trying to poo, changed him to c&g comfort and first two days was the same then he would cry leading up to the poo as much but hes still only going once every 2 days😫

@Danielle it’s cow and gate comfort comic and constipation milk

Comfort milk separates if left too long so you have to give it a good shake again to bring it together, it does work it took our baby a good 2 weeks to get into a routine of pooping once a day x

@Alisha🌸 this was straight after making the bottle. Just curdled, some bottles we make doesn’t do it but some do?x

@Taya-Eloise mine only sticks to the sides of the water wasn’t hot enough, I have to make all of them with just hot water and let them cool, it’s very rare now we have it like that, I wonder what could be causing it x

@Alisha🌸 maybe it’s a bad batch? I’ll try contact c&g today x

@Taya-Eloise definitely sounds like cows milk allergy. Look for a different milk with broken down cows milk protein. There’s a Facebook group you can join called reflux and cmpa babies help and support group x

@Charlotte thank you, do you know what milks are out there with broken down cows milk protein?x

@Taya-Eloise if you join that group then a lot of the time girls will give away spare milk they have to people so maybe you could try and get one to trial x

If you decide to change formula, it can take up to a month for a baby to get used to it. Try not to keep switching formulas in a short period of time as it plays havoc with their sensitive wee systems.

@Taya-Eloise Comfort milk has partly hydrolysed proteins and reduced lactose. There is also lactose free milk, but that isn't suitable for cow's milk protein allergies. We are currently testing whether our baby has a mild cow's milk allergy. We have an Aptamil formula prescribed from the doctor call Aptamil Pepti 1. You can't get it in the shops. Some babies don't like the taste of it though. Ours will drink anything!
