Switch milk?

My baby is 4 weeks & has been very comfortable since we brought her home. I’m using Kendamil, she’s gaining weight but has all the signs of silent reflux. HV put her on carobel last week, has made her poo far more regularly & very loosely, showing slight signs of improvement (she’s more settled at night but still screams after feeds). I just hate feeding her feel she’s so uncomfortable.
Next step is to try a PPI like omeprazole but has anyone found any benefit of an easier digested milk? Perhaps thinking goats milk formula

I would swap to a different brand of formula first. There are unfortunately quite a few threads where some babies have similar problems in this formula.

So maybe think about SMA or Hipp Organic?

If that doesn’t improve things then try a comfort style formula?

I would also have a read of this from Allergy UK Flowers

Cow’s Milk Allergy

Cow’s milk allergy is an abnormal response by the body’s immune system in which proteins in a food are recognised as a potential threat.

You could always swap out stage one and go straight to a comfort formula if she’s struggling avd you’re struggling with lack of sleep.

The other thing to consider is, is she getting enough formula and has Tongue Tie been ruled out by someone who is trained to check? Flowers
