So I started my baby on Aptimal from breast milk direct week she was throwing up, so I put her on Aptimal reflux milk but now she's not pooing all day until all at once and its soft but solid poo's like a toddler not that a new born should have. Can anyone help? I can see she's struggling

Stop the reflux milk, go back to the regular first stage formula. Make sure you're making the formula up properly eg level scoops, right ratio of formula to water. Take it from there.

How much was your baby sicking up? Some sick can be really normal if the baby is taking more formula than their stomach can hold. Make sure you are paced feeding (ie regular breaks during the feed) to give baby a chance to recognise they are full.

With the constipation try a warm bath, gentle stomach massage and leg cycling. Sometimes giving baby some nappy free time helps to get things moving too!
