what do i do

A bit of a long one but my daughter is 4 months old when she was born she had SMA formula/ breastmilk, i do both, i give her formula when my breastmilk isn’t enough but the SMA Made her so sick after about a month and she’d always be sick after not normal but like the formula didn’t agree with her so i changed it to cow and gate anti reflux which is thicker and that was better but she constantly wants to be held and picked up she just fusses and cries until i pick her up but doesn’t burp or anything when i hold her i don’t think she just wants to be held she’s only 4 months old it must be something bothering her i just don’t know what, it’s not an allergy because she would be sick with cow and gate too? and she’s not but idk if i change to another brand that isn’t anti reflux if she’ll just be sick but anti reflux milks are thick and that seems to bother her too i don’t know what to do, any advice would be appreciated 🙃thankyou x

It is trial and error with formulas. You could try a different brand of normal formula like HIPP organic or Kendamil if the thickness is bothering her too. How often does she have formula? My first was on cow and gate and always wanted to be held because he was uncomfortable from not being able to poo or pass gas but then I changed his formula to Kendamil and he was a completely different baby xx

Just to say that reflux and spit ups are symptoms , not diagnosis - meaning the thicker milk will not go up as easily and you will avoid the spit ups, but what ever irritation she is having in her GI tract is still there and bothering her. Sorry to hear your little one is suffering. My LG is almost 16 weeks old, I had the most unsettled (almost non stop crying baby) that would spit up almost every 10 min. We went to many docs and tried many things, but in the end what I feel heeled us was time - now she might have 5 spit ups a day and barely ever cries.Cannot believe it sometines🙏 Sending much love, strength and patience and hope your LO feels better very soon!!🙏

because i do both idk how often she has it but she has maybe 2-4 bottles of formula a day ? and the rest breastmilk today i was able to give her mostly breastmilk and she was such a calmer baby less fussy i wish i was able to get more breastmilk, i’ve heard a lot about kendamil just that it’s expensive? i might just try that xx

yeahh, when she drinks the formula it might be more like she wants to be sick maybe but because it’s thick she isn’t and it bothers her thankyou for the advice! x❤️

Ah that doesn’t sound very nice. Poor girl. You could try her on the ready to feed Kendamil before going onto the powder? Kendamil have also just brought out bonya formula which is cheaper version of kendamil. I’ve also seen good things about Aldi formula which is about £7 a tin, it’s meant to be similar to aptamil xx

ohyeah okay i’ll have a look into it & yeah i never thought of buying aldi formula🤣i forget they do milk there too lol thankyou! x
