Nutramigen vs aptamil pepti 1

What’s the main difference? What’s better?

Nutramigen has to be made with room temp water, as it has LGG in to help babies tummies, pepti can be made like normal formula I think, it’s whatever works best for your baby, mine didn’t agree with nutramigen, but it’s amazing for other babies c

Personally I requested aptamil as I didn’t like the ingredients of the nutramigen (first ingredient is glucose syrup and second is vegetable oil). I understand why those ingredients are in there but as they’re the first ingredients, that’s what the formula is primarily made from. But, some babies can only tolerate nutramigen and some only Aptamil Pepti. Apparently Aptamil is more creamy and less smelly so more tolerated by babies too

My little one is on nutrimigen, after a product recall in January it's near impossible to get right now. We haven't tried pepti so can't say about that but they way you make up nutrimigen is so easy and convenient I'd be reluctant to change unless we really had to, to me it's worth the stress of traveling far and wide to get it. But it is stressful. 🫣

hey I have a small nutramigen tin (first stage) that I was prescribed but never used. Please message me if you’d like it! I know the stress of not knowing if you’ll have another tin of formula! I believe I got this one in Feb so should be okay?!

@Parris oh that would be amazing thank you so much. Happy to send over money via paypal for postage! It is so stressful , I just don't understand why they make it so hard to get our babies food!

Nutramigen milk proteins are more broken down compared to aptamil x

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Fed up

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?

32 weeks

32 week growth scan and clinic appointment. Did anything unusual happen? Ive heard a few people saying 32 weeks was when they had a induction date
