Ready made to powdered formula

[arianwe]

So my Daughter is 3 months old and was initially breastfed, before moving on to Aptamil ready made formula.

She is 100% fine drinking this, has absolutely no wind and minimal sickness.

As it costs an absolute fortune, we have started to slowly introduce the Aptamil powdered version. I have only been giving her 1 bottle of this a day, and increased this to 2 bottles yesterday. Since trying to introduce the powder, she has been really sicky, bringing up loads more than normal and incredibly windy. She is screaming in the days and we've had a pretty rough few nights of her writhing around in pain. We are burping her more etc, but feels like never ending burps and hundreds of farts.

And advice?

We had similar, my daughter had ready made to start with and then moved to aldi powder and eventually switched to aptamil powder, with her we think it was too foamy so as well as changing we also started to swirl it to mix the powder rather than shaking vigorously. Obviously it could be something completely different, our daughters symptoms weren’t as severe as yours though

Have you tried dr brown bottles. They made a massive difference to us. My first was fine with any old bottle but Dr Browns were the only ones that didn’t give her mega wind.

Hey, instead of using normal aptamil we use aptamil comfort. It's thicker so has visibly less bubbles and so he has less gas. Less sick as well because it sits in the stomach more easily.
We saw a massive change! Maybe give a faster flow teat as well so baby isn't sucking as hard to get the milk out and not sucking as much air:)
