Best milk for sickness/reflux (NOT anti reflux milks)

Hi, our baby is 7 weeks old. She was originally on Cow and gate but had bad sickness/reflux on it and was only going for a poo every 3/4 days. We switched to cow and gate anti reflux upon GP’s advice which massively helped with sickness but made her extremely constipated and was quite traumatic for us all. We have now switched to Aptamil comfort on reccomendation and she is pooing every day which is good but still sick a lot. Is there any formulas out there that you have found helps with this? I am reluctant to go back to an anti reflux milk or any other medication that may cause constipation!

Cow & Gate and Aptamil are basically the same formula made on the same factory so it might be worth swapping to another brand altogether like Hipp Organic.

Don't swap to Kendamil though as there are so many threads about reflux with Aptamil and Kendamil.

If the Hipp Organic doesn't work, try adding Dentinox to the bottles and if that doesn't work you might be looking at Cow's Milk Protein Allergy.
