Mixing formula for newborn

1 reply

my 5 week old seems to be very uncomfortable half an hour or so after his feed. He stretches, arching his back and seems in pain. He isn’t constipated as such but his poo is quite hard. I don’t think it’s a milk intolerance as it’s not terrible but still looks/sounds very uncomfortable.

with my first, I noticed when he had ready made formula poo was runnier. I was wondering if anyone has experience with mixing formulas (separately as instructed and then mixing together) I was thinking the cma comfort which seems to come up recommended for sensitive tummies. Or, maybe using some ready made formula once a day or every other day to help him when going for a poo.

just looking for some thoughts from other parents. Will consult HV at our next appt too.
