Hi ladies recently switched from aptimil pepti 1 to neocate on our breastfeeding journey where I’m completely dairy free. I’ve noticed my baby is a lot more windy and squirmy and fussy with the neocate. Is that a normal thing to get past? We did a gradual swap over the past few weeks.

Oh and more reflux!

He may still have some Pepti 1 left in his system as that has milk in it but hydrolysed, especially if you done a gradual switch. I just changed my girls straight to Neocate from SMA anti reflux so it may just his body getting rid of the rest of the cows milk protein x

To be honest ladies, I stopped giving it to him. He was waking up every half an hour crying, a couple times so sweaty, always so gassy. The day he went back on aptimil pepti one completely changed back to a lot more relaxed. I don’t think something in it agreed with him. Going to contact dietician Monday!

Could’ve been the coconut oil in it x
