Should I change formula?

Hi everyone.
My little one is 7 weeks old when he was born he took the sma little steps formula but he developed constipation and was doing hard stools on the health visitors advice I changed him to sma comfort milk. Since this his stools have been terribly smelly, dark green and he seems to be in pain most times he goes to the toilet. I rang health visitor again regarding these issues, she told me not to worry. I have read some reviews on the sma comfort some are saying the same thing. I was kind of concerned he might have a intolerance to formula milk but she is telling me different. I was thinking about changing him to aptimil comfort milk to see if that might help him and if it doesn't work to just ring a doctor. Does anyone have any advice as I'm sick of seeing my child in pain and no one listening.

Comfort milk can cause green poo and I'm sure it warns of that on the box. They can put lots of effort into going to the toilet but it doesn't mean there's an issue. Try the other milk if you like but he may still get green poo as that's a side effect of the milk

Why does your HV think that there's not an issue?
