Changing my babies formula

3 replies

Hi my baby boy has been on kendamil original since birth. He is now 8 weeks and has been experiencing these symptoms for a couple weeks but it has just gotten gradually:

  • passing lots and lots of gas
  • stiffens body like he has lots of wind, goes red in the face and grunts while feeding
  • white coating on tongue
  • seems to be in pain when trying to pass stool
  • runny poos
  • recently quite sicky
  • difficulty bringing up wind
  • seems more restless and uncomfortable as day goes on
  • needs to be rocked to sleep
  • colicky on evenings

he just seems very unhappy and uncomfortable. i know that kendamil is rather rich so can be difficult for some babies to digest. Does anyone have any recommendations on a formula to switch to?

TIA :) x

A lot of what you mention just could be down to how babies can be during the fourth trimester.

I do agree though that it might be worth trying a different one. Have you tried Hipp Organic?

Hi, my baby was the same on Kendamil and Aptamil. I ended up switching to Hipp Organic RTF. 😊

My DD is 4 months, she had these symptoms since birth, we spoke to health visitor and dr and they prescribed a formula for a dairy allergy, this made her worse she screamed non stop so I switched her back to the original formula, after a few weeks passed I decided to go back to the gp who prescribed a different milk that's for cows milk protein allergy, since then she's a completely different baby and I wish I had of don't it sooner
