Aptamil pepti 1 advice

[AmieHart25]

Baby started on pepti 1 for CMPA , most symptoms have improved however developed a rash after 3 weeks of being on the formula , constipation (not going for 3 days or more and when going although soft very small amounts) , level of gas no improvement and the constipation increases fussiness, gas and amount of regurgitation. Unable to get a happy medium with lactulose causes explosions even if used half dose every other day, however does offload large amounts of poo. Tried home remedies for constipation to no avail.
has anyone else experienced this with pepti 1 and have people then moved to neocate or alfamino?
my concern is those formulas are thinner and therefore may make the regurgitation worse and want to avoid the line of reflux treatment as I am aware that can cause fussiness, gas and constipation.
feel between a rock and a hard place and don’t know which way to turn. Haven’t found the Gp overly helpful when mentioning rash and constipation since the pepti.
would really appreciate anyone else’s experiences if they were similar and what helped

No experience sorry as it’s me wirh CMPA, not the DC.

It does sound as though your LO still can’t tolerate the protein the formula and is reacting. I would speak to Allergy UK and see if they can offer any advice.

Have you been referred to a Paediatric Dietitian yet?

No no referral. Plan to d/c with health visitor again to see what they advise. My son had the same issue but I was not heard until he was a year old and then I got a referral. We just struggled for a year with his symptoms . But my newborn is much worse than he was.
