Moved to next age formula - poorly belly!

[Mumsy2501]

Hi everyone,

I'm so confused right now and hoping for some guidance / assurance!

I've recently moved my 12 month old from aptamil number 2 up to 3. It really seems to have affected his belly and for about 3 or 4 days he seems a little off his food and having loose / messy poos which isn't like him.

A few times it seems that about 15 minutes after his bottle he has belly ache and a big poo!! Then he's fine again.

Also I previously used to make up his bottles for the day and have been doing the same with these - I hope I aren't inadvertently causing his poorly belly by doing this - I know the official advice is not to.

Any advice???

Thank you!! Xx

Advice is to move to full fat cows milk at 1 year. Either move back to the previous formula or move to cows milk

I thought there is absolutely zero difference between formula 1-2-3? I may be wrong but the content of 1 and 2 is exactly the same.

I'd move him back to 2 and start to slowly introduce full fat milk, see what he says.

Thank you. We are working on the cows milk but he’s not keen! So I’m trying to sneak it into the odd bottle and porridge to get him used to it.

I didn’t know if I was just putting off the inevitable by going back to stage 2 so is good to know this is an option. Last few bottles seem to have gone down ok so hopefully alright now. Next to work on is getting rid of the bottle. Poor kid has a lot going on! 😌

The issue is formula is extremely sweet. Cows milk is not. Hence why I just added it to the formula veeeery slowly to cheat him. He will have anything but when I tried to only give him cows milk he was not keen (and that's something for my container baby). So I can totally see this being an issue.
