Hipp comfort - wind and green poo

Baby had colic for almost 5 months. I switched to combination feeding with Hipp Comfort which massively improved things. However, she has suffered with trapped wind at night between 12 and 5 am (every night) and also, since being on comfort milk, her pop has been green and very soft. We did try 6 weeks completely dairy free to check for CMPA but it made no difference (at approx 2-3 months).
I read that green runny poo and wind is common for kids on comfort milk. My gp and health visitor also said comfort can cause green wet poo because the milk is easy to digest.

She is mow 12 months and has been in nursery for nearly 4 months. She has had multiple bouts of sickness and diarrhoea but the nursery are suggesting it’s CMPA. My gut tells me these girls (19.17 etc) don’t have experience with comfort milk ( I know that sounds patronising, they are great carers to my daughter) and I try to explain that comfort milk causes green poo even when she doesn’t have a sickness and diarrhoea. But then… I question myself and worry I’m feeding something that’s doing her harm. I’m exhausted being up every night with the trapped wind and it’s obviously worse for her.

I saw a paediatrician twice bout the trapped wind and he said he cannot see anything physically wrong with her and thinks the night waking is behavioural. She cries in pain and is hunched over, it is not behavioural as she would stop when I picked her up and give her comfort.

I’m trying wean off bottle feeds but it’s very difficult as she usually has some bug cold or flu from nursery and is off solid food.

All this isn’t really needed here..It would just be helpful to know about others experiences with Hipp Comfort please?

Well her symptoms with wind do sound extremely similar to mine when I’ve had dairy.

Maybe you could talk through the possibility of CMPA with Allergy UK?

Cow’s Milk Allergy

Cow’s milk allergy is an abnormal response by the body’s immune system in which proteins in a food are recognised as a potential threat.

Thank you @BunnyRuddington. My GP and the paediatrician don’t think it is CMPA as the diarrhoea has only occurred since nursery and she still had wind when we removed all dairy (she had based soy formula) for 6 weeks. I’m weaning her off the formula completely at the moment and there seems to be some improvement in wind symptoms at night. Hopefully digestion will improve soon.
