changing milk

my little boy is 5 nearly 6 weeks old and seems to have constant tummy ache, he can really scream sometimes, body goes stiff, i can feel his belly gargling and he farts quite a bit, especially since i’ve put him on infacol, he poops maybe once a day, maybe not every day. is he having a problem with his milk? he’s on kendamil. how do i know if i need to try something else?

Try something like cow and gate or aptamil it could be the whole milk formula that kendamil is is too rich for his belly

if you still find you're having issues a couple weeks after switching id then look into it being a milk allergy but I've heard of kendamil being too rich for a lot of babies x

ahh my brother had a milk allergy as a baby, but i thought for it to be an allergy he had to be being sick and it’s just his tummy but thank you so much! i’m going to change his milk tomorrow and hope in a couple days it makes a difference 🤞🏼

sometimes they only have one or two symptoms others have a whole cluster of them so if there's no improvement I'd say after 2-3 weeks (takes about a week to settle on different cows milk formulas when switching) then definitely look into an allergy x

I literally took my little girl to the doctors today because of this. She’s never comfortable bless her. Doctor suggested Aptimil Comfort. She has been on Kendamil but I just don’t think it suits her. Comfort formulas are partially hydrolysed which the doctor said “it’s basically like mince instead of steak- easier to digest as the protein is broken down”
Can’t comment as to whether it works… yet

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
