SMA comfort or cow and gate?

My now 14 week old baby has had colic since he was about 2 weeks old he was on SMA pro1 then all of a sudden he was constantly crying and pulling his legs to his stomach and in agony he would refuse his feeds and want a drop off milk then cry then I put him on SMA comfort colic and constipation then he got better he is now drinking his milk and is windy. SMA comfort is so expensive and hard to find cz not many shops sell it apart from boots. (SMA comfort is quite thick so he likes it) I tried to put him back on SMA pro1 but it’s so thin the milk he won’t take it he refuses the bottle. Is it worth putting him on cow and gate or another brand or just leaving him on SMA comfort?

Hello. We were on aptamil and changed to cow and gate for the same reason as you describe. I'd say combined with his gut developing he isn't as bad as he once was. Cow and gate is also easier to get hold of. Its cheapest in superdrug and savers. X

@Michaela do u think he should go for cow and gate now cz SMA he refuses

Ours took to cow and gate straight away no issues. You might find it's a thicker milk and needs mixed more prior to feeds xxx

@Michaela I’ve tried normal cow and gate he drank about 2 ounces then refused it so I got fed up and am trying him back on SMA comfort cz the only thing is he is putting on weight with the comfort but he doesn’t always drink it

Sorry I should have said ours is cow and gate comfort. Ours did initially screw his face up but did take it. It's a hit or a miss. He doesn't drink all of every bottle but he's gaining weight at a good rate x

If he is good on the SMA comfort and happy . I would stick with it but maybe order like x2 or 3 at a time to click and collect at boots? For wind maybe try Infacol? X

@Chloê infacol doesn’t work neither does gripe water I have to physically wind him every time

@Amina what do you mean by physically wind him? Like Pat his back? I wind my little boy every 2oz and at the end of the bottle. He has silent reflux and struggles a lot x

@Chloê no not burp wind I do bicycle legs and press his legs to his stomach eventually the fart comes out and he’s okay
