Hi after breast feeding for 7 weeks I have now switched to formula. I chose Apatamil as my first son had this and we never had a problem plus I believed it to be the best but my Ds is really struggling and in quite a bit of pain until he does his poo. I think I have heard Aparamil can cause constipation so what formula does anyone recommend I switch too?

Try any one, and see how it goes.

How can anyone tell you which specific brand will suit your baby Confused

You may think Maja is being chippy, but honestly, it's just trial and error - each one will have a slightly different effect on each baby.

Aptimil and cow and gate are basically the same (same ingredients and same company) so try something other than them two.
I have been told hipp organic is a gentle formula but never used it myself.

I had the same problem, Sma gold was better for my daughter. Just see which one is stocked in your local shop and go from there!
