Hi All

Looking for help please. Baby girl is 8 weeks old and was on cow n gate and did not agree with her ( Sick a lot ) so was advised to move to SMA anti reflux by friends and this worked a treat for 3 weeks but then baby become very constipated and had really smelly wind and then had explosions every 3-4 days of really dark green poo. Was advised this could be down to milk so we have moved on to kendamil and poo has gone back to " normal colou, yellow " however, she is being sick more often and quite violent. Not after every feed but every 2/3. Now the weather is over 30 degrees so this may be a factor but do you think it could be the milk which is not agreeing ( Day 2 of tryinf kendamil ) so could just be getting used to it. We did use MAM bottles and size 2 teet for the SMA milk as was thicker but we found when using this on the kendamil the baby was losing a lot of the milk as flowing to quick so changed to teet size 1 and seemed to work. Just want to give my wife piece of mind and any help would be greatly appreciated. It could well be a number of factors such as the extremely warm weather and new milk and hopeuflly sick episodes will slow down as she wasnt sick off SMA anti reflux. I should note she does hiccup a lot in general.

Many thanks

When switching to a different milk I think you can only gauge the difference after a week or two. I was told the change itself can cause constipation and I would imagine throwing up too.

Has anyone mentioned the possibility of Cow's Milk Protein Allergy to you?
