My ds at just 3.5 weeks old is suffering constipation since changing to bottle feeding at 2 weeks.
My HV said it could just be something that runs in the family (I'm v. prone and so is dd, who is 2.5 but she never had it as a baby only since being a toddler). Alternatively it could be a reaction to switching from breast to bottle, in which case I'm hoping it may stop, but not showing signs yet.
I'm feeding SMA Gold as I used it before with dd and also because it's one of the formulas nearest to breast milk. However, I wondered if another formula milk may be less likely to cause constipation?
What have other people found with formula milk and constipation? Thought if I started a thread and enough people replied I may be able to identify a trend with particular formulas to make it worth trying a swap?
Thanks in advance.
