Kendamil milk help! Really struggling with 16 week old baby!

Hey,

So I was wondering if anyone had experienced this and as I write this I have had a full on melt down before, during and after little ones bed time today. So she's had kendamil infant formula since birth but recently she's been really constipated so I switched to kendamil colic and constipation milk. Me being the sucker I am, I paid £14.99 for the milk and £3.99 for delivery because they don't stock this milk anywhere yet.

My little has been refusing her bottles recently like she's gone from drinking 27/28 ounces to literally today she's had 14 ounces 🤯 that too I had to rock her and sing and really distract her. I'm so tired cause she has done this all time now at every feed for about 5 weeks now. It's so so hard! I'm so drained! I have a little pre schooler whom I can't give time to because it can take me 45 minutes to feed little one 2 ounces! So yes, I did change the teat and she still had a paddy and wouldn't take her
Milk. I really don't know what's gotten into her. I miss my baby who would inhale 6 ounces and be satisfied till the next feed.

Also I feel kendamil is really badly overrated. Also my little ones nappy is always green!

Any advice from anyone who experienced anything as to what to do because
I literally cannot cope any longer. 😩 xx

Also, just to add it takes me so long to feed her I can only when she sleeps or when the husband can watch her. I literally haven't eaten all day 😥😩🥺 x

Funnily enough - mine is on Kendamil and has been constipated for 10 days now. She also has breast milk. I express so she has both. Usually 2 feeds per day are Kendamil. This has only been for the last few weeks. I wasn't sure if she was constipated because she recently had her jabs.
She's in a lot of pain and not drinking milk as much. She'll go 7 hours or so between feeds which is different to how she's been usually. (She's only 10 weeks old).
She's currently on lactulose.

I'd put your baby back on the normal kendamil I'd say the switch probably has upset her tummy.
For the constipation try offering some boiled and cooled water, an oz or 2 a day, and so some baby massages such as bicycling baby's legs, rubbing baby's tummy gently you can look up YouTube now to do this.
If that still doesn't help try some pure Oj well diluted and offer baby a few sips.

It's definitely the milk that's causing the constipation. She's just not interested in her milk anymore, it's so horrible. Did you get the lactose prescribed?xx

We went to the chemist and the pharmacist said to have it. 2.5ml twice a day.
