Dark green poo after switching to anti reflux milk
Show your support
I started my little one on aptimal anti reflux and worked really well. But decided to give SMA anti reflux a go she started vomiting loads and her stool was also green. So we ended up going to aptimal again and it has worked wonders. You could try cow and gate or aptimal.
@Louise thank you for your input. What is the difference between Anti reflux and Comfort? So glad your little one is doing a lot better ♥️
@Saff thank you Saff. Did the green stool subside eventually?
I believe comfort milk helps with colic as well as reflux but I might be wrong about that - I know before my little boy went on to his prescribed milk the infant feeding team suggested anti reflux and comfort milk
@Louise thank you, I’ll do some more research.
The green stool disappeared once we stopped using the SMA one. It’s only green to them digesting the formula. We only changed back to aptimal cause the SMA one did nothing for her reflux.
Comfort milk is making my little ones poo green, apparently it’s the extra iron in the formula
I am in exactly the same situation as you, all health care professionals have been useless and it’s worsened by the fact my babies on the 2nd centile
My son is on hypoallergenic milk and his stools have become much looser, changed colour and also goes more often but this is common with milk that has some enzymes broken down. I’m not sure what the instructions are for making your little girls milk is but for the one we use the water has to be at room temperature as not to destroy the nutritional value and nutrients he needs in the milk. The difference in him is unreal though he’s like a new baby - I can deal with smelly poo and burps for a happier baby. Comfort milk might be better than anti reflux milk.
