my 6 week old baby is very windy and constipated, also spits up a lot. so not doing too well on SMA gold. does anyone hsve any experience of cow and gate comfort? we have been recomended this one.

all you can do is try it and see if it helps - different formula suits different babies so it is a bit of trial and error to see which one will suit yours.

Agree with Seona

You may be lucky and the next formula you try could be fine with your LO. Can't remember half of the different brands of FM I tried but I found that the Farley's one was the best for my DC. They slept well, very little wind and whatever wind they did have brought a sly smile to their faces. There was no problems with peeing and pooing either.

Hope you soon find the formula which suits your LO.

Agree that different ones can suit different babies.
Both of mine have been on Aptimal and been absoluetly fine. We choose that as that was the formula of choice in special baby care.

Maybe you could try a few cartons of the ready made milk if you change instead of buying a big box of powder each time.

I hear about a lot of babies who suffer on SMA.

Iirc cow and gate and aptamil contain exactly the same ingredients but cow and gate seems to be slightly heavier on the tummy.

I too choose Aptamil for ds when we switched to formula and never had any problems with it.

All you can do is try it and see. Different babies are happy on different formula's.

DS was fine on Farley's/Heinz Nuture, but agree that different babies take to different formulas.

We also used Hipp, but I think you might only be able to get it online.

The ready made cartons seem to be a bit richer - thicker and darker than the powder you mix up. DS didn't like the equivalent to his powder at all!
