Breastfeeding and bottle

[Beccamitch]

If you are mix feeding what fomula do you use? I currently use aptamil but giving my baby constipation. What brand is best to use?

Sorry to hear about the constipation. How old is baby?

No brands are 'better' than others. I would suggest you just try another. Lots out there - Cow and Gate, SMA, Hipp, Aldi etc.

Meant to say, I researched on the 'First Steps Nutrition' website. They broke all milks down to look at.

He will be a month old tomorrow

It'll be a case of trial and error. Some babies respond better to one formula than another. Formulas are much of a muchness, it's down to babies individual tolerance/ preference.

Is it definitely constipation? Some babies dont poo very often so going infrequently isnt a sign of constipation. Formula/combi poo is less runny than breastfed poo. Unless the poo is very hard it isnt constipation - maybe check with Hv or GP

Definitely constipation docs comfermed

Hipp organic is nice. No more ££ than the others and it's U.K. made and organic.

Otherwise we always rated SMA - Aptamil and cow and gate didn't seem to mix properly.

I used sma ready pour. She wouldn't take powdered of any brand
