CMPA?

Hello! My baby is on this milk. When we switched I just gave him the new milk as it is and thankfully he took it but we trialled a differing one previously and he wouldn’t. With that we had to mix the aptamil with the new one and slowly taper down the amount of old and increase the new. We also tried a drop of vanilla essence. This milk has to be made with previously boiled cooked water. We boil the kettle and fill sterile bottles (enough for 24 hours) then leave them on the side and add the powder when he needs a bottle. Hope this helps x

thank you. Does it not need to be hot water to kill the bacteria in the powder?

It smells so different to Aptamil doesn’t it x

not for this formula no but normal formula yes! I was confused too but I followed the instructions on the tin and did some research. If it’s made with hot boiled water it doesn’t mix properly creating lumps. This is why the water has to be room temperature so it mixes better and doesn’t react to the hot water and yes it really doesn’t smell the best haha x

thank you for your help. I was worried room temp water wouldn’t kill bacteria.
Il try this cooled boiled water method how you do yours.
Fingers crossed x

Yes room temperature previously boiled cooled water. If baby is on 4 ounces say, we mixed 3 ounces of Aptimal and 1 of neutramagin firstly (I think it’s common for lots of babies to not like the neutramagin) and then increased this to 2 and 2 and so forth.

If your baby doesn’t tolerate it, there is Aptimal Pepti they could try instead which I think is meant to taste more like normal formula.

My baby had a cmpa and was on this milk, she ended up being changed to a different one as she personally didn’t agree with this one, the one you’ve shown is usually a good one for most babies. Only thing I can recommend is give baby a few weeks on it. These types of milk aren’t the tastiest for babies so you can mix them as said above and slowly transfer. I just changed right over and baby was fine. In my experience it does get easier. My baby is now 8 months. She’s still on prescription milk but we’re slowly introducing bits of dairy and making sure she’s okay. She can handle small amounts and I’m pretty sure she’s grown out of the allergy but until our next doctors appointment I won’t know the next steps. Once we found the right milk my baby seemed so much better. She was less sick and her bowels improved massively!

My little girl has CMPA & is on neocate LCP took really well to it. Was previously on aptimal pepti 1 & couldn’t take to it at she’s even being tube fed (she’s now strictly NG tube fed) but was still throwing up constantly
