Hi after breast feeding for 7 weeks I have now switched to formula. I chose Apatamil as my first son had this and we never had a problem plus I believed it to be the best but my Ds is really struggling and in quite a bit of pain until he does his poo. I think I have heard Aparamil can cause constipation so what formula does anyone recommend I switch too?

Try any one, and see how it goes.

Erm any other recommendations of a specific brand?

How can anyone tell you which specific brand will suit your baby Confused

You may think Maja is being chippy, but honestly, it's just trial and error - each one will have a slightly different effect on each baby.

Aptimil and cow and gate are basically the same (same ingredients and same company) so try something other than them two.
I have been told hipp organic is a gentle formula but never used it myself.

I had the same problem, Sma gold was better for my daughter. Just see which one is stocked in your local shop and go from there!
