Which formula for colicky baby?

[CJ1836]

Hi
WOndered whether anybody have tried and tested all formulas and found one which suited a colicky baby better than the rest?
I am currently using Cow and Gate but struggling with colic so not sure whether to try something else?
Thanks

Don't try SMA

I don't know anything about the others, but i have heard that SMA is not a good one for colicky tendencies.

Anyone else?

No formula helped with DD's colic - a Chiropractor had her fixed with 2 weeks.

Omneo Comfort is supposed to be formulated for colicky babies. Cranial Osteopath helped with DS's horrendous colic.

All that the omneo comfort did for DD was give her huge fudge like poo

Have you tried the Contented Little Baby Book routines, these apparently irradicate colic, Gina Ford reckons colic is caused as the baby is fed too frequently and hence the milk is not digested properly before the next feed is introduced, thus causing pain. Works for me.

sorry pickle but that is utter and complete rubbish. It makes me cross too. If you have a baby suffering from colic and I don't mean a bit unsettled but crying every night for hours and hours then hearing that kind of thing would be so demoralising. My DS had colic and he was breastfed (ever 3 hours or so). Feeding him never really comforted him so he certainly wasn't fed to frequently.

My ds at 8 weeks was colicky too initially after his formula feed of Cow and Gate, I have been trying the Omneo Comfort but it doesn't seem to make a lot of difference and makes him very windy (the Cow and Gate helpline says that it makes them windy), which is what upsets him in the first place. The best but expensive solution I have found is using the polypacks, the ready mix of Cow and Gate. But I need to find a cheaper more long-term solution.

Has anyone got views on Aptamil?

Another thought, it could be the bottles being used as well. I was using Avent bottles initially, but switching to Bfree bottles also made a big difference.
