Kendamil - negative reviews??

My LO is 8 weeks old. She was on aptamil from birth but it made her constipated so health visitor suggested changing to aptamil comfort. She was on this for 2 weeks and it helped the constipation but It made her very gassy and unsettled.
I had read good reviews about Kendamil so bought a tin to try, she’s only been on it 3 days and she seems a lot more settled on it, but the only thing is she is bringing some milk up after each feed and then around 20 mins after a feed she brings more up. It absolutely stinks and just smells really acidic. Is this reflux? She isn’t a sicky baby at all so this is all new for us. She doesn’t seem to be in pain or discomfort when she is sick so is this normal?
Has anyone had this same problem with Kendamil? It seems like it has nothing but good reviews

My baby is on kendamil and is doing exactly this, reflux 15/20 mins after feeds then a little more later and it stinks plus she is constipated, agree I cannot fine any negative reviews either... But we're thinking of switching her onto Apatamil comfort to help with her colic and constipation.

I think if you’ve only been on kendamil for 3 days I’d continue with it, let your little one actually get used to it. Their digestive system is so sensitive so it may just be that - if they’re not in any pain and seem settled with it then it can’t hurt to carry on teying

I used this milk and got on really well with it, can’t fault it if I’m honest.

Try Hipp Organic. That worked so well for our daughter who had silent reflux.

Interested in this thread?

Just an update, LO has been on Kendamil for 3 weeks now but I still think she has a bit of silent reflux. The majority of feeds she’s completely fine but then some feeds she screams and refuses to take the bottle.
health visitor said to not change to a different formula but I could try infant gaviscon. Not sure what to do as most feeds she is fine

Update - we switched our little girl from Kendamil to Aptamil comfort over a week ago and instead of having colic episodes every night for 2-3 hours, she only seems unsettled for an hour every other night now, she seems much more settled. Her constipation is still there (poos every 2/3 days) and it's dark green and stinks, but I would say she seems better on Aptamil than kendamil. When I spoke to Health visitor about Kendamil she said off the record, lots of babies don't get on well with it...
Not sure if this is anything to do with it but it's made with full fat cream, so perhaps too rich for some babies?

Kendamil gave our baby a really bad tummy aches with explosive poop. Switched to hipp and she was like a new baby!

Yes we had similar issues with kendamil. Much more frequent sick, and it was stinky. Switched to Hipp which was fine.

Hm we use Kendamil and my baby does bring up quite a bit but I assumed that would be how she would be with anything else too. DS2 was crazy refluxy even on aptamil comfort. Maybe your baby would be sicky by this point whatever she was fed. We did aptamil for about a week and Kendamil seems much gentler and smells far better!

Sorry didn’t see youd posted an update in a different name! Glad it’s sorted!

Just wondering did you move onto kendamil in the end?
