My LB is 15weeks old and has been put on Aptamil dairy free….. we are on our third tin and have noticed he doesn’t stop farting and they smell really really bad… he seems uncomfy with all that gas and wondered if this is just him adjusting or not?

thanks!

My little boy isn’t on this one he’s on SMA althera, his trumps smell horrendous! And it’s taken 2 weeks out of the 3.5 weeks to see improvement with tummy discomfort- he’s still not 100% now with other symptoms but he’s doing alot better

So took him to the gp today and they said it’s the fat in the milk causing the smelly farts etc and they have changed him to neocate….. this milk trial and error situation is draining

I was told if my boy doesn’t fully solve on this milk we’d be moved to Neocate too.
I seem to be having most problem trying to get his reflux under control on this milk..
you’ll have to keep me updated with how you get on, iv been told Neocate is extremely thin and sometimes will require a thickener like carobel (I think it’s called)
but yes I completely agree with you, it’s been a long 8 weeks for us trying to figure it all out and still don’t see the light x
