Hi all, long time lurker first time poster.

Our little girl was born in September and is coming up to 4 months old, we originally had her on cow and gate because that’s what they gave me in hospital. We noticed that she had trapped wind and reflux. We were given colief and gaviscon from our doctor. This worked to some extent but constipated her no end giving her smelly green formed poo.

My cousin who had a LO a week after us said she had her baby on Aldi milk after she struggled with aptimil in the hospital and was drawing her knees. So we switched to Aldi milk in November and then got hit with covid (perfect) meaning we couldn’t collect her colief.

Now she has been amazing without it. And she has been sleeping through the night (10pm - 8am) since she was 8 weeks old. However this last week she’s now full of trumps and they’re waking her up in the middle of the night.

I don’t know if it’s the milk or a bug but she’s waking up red faced and will scream until she’s passes I’d say 4 or 5 BIG trumps.

I am beside myself thinking I’ve changed her onto something that now is giving her belly ache.

I know this is war and peace but I could do with some advice Confused

Could you try colief again? Or try lactose free milk as colief breaks down lactose in the milk. Think SMA does a lactose free milk

I've been wondering how long colief stays in the system? Would she have been fine for a few weeks until it 'wore off'?

Didn't realise she'd been off colief so long and was ok.
Colief acts directly on the milk and breaks down lactose so I wouldn't think it would build up in the body.

Well she's made a liar of me. Went down sweet as a nut at 10:30pm and just woke up at 8:15. Looks like it was just a bug niggling her Blush

That’s the best result. Glad you all got a good night.
