Question for kendamil fed babies

Hey ladies

After 3 months (breast supply dropped significantly), I started my baby on kendamil formula. From the get go she took to it really well, no reflux, no constipation etc. Saying this, I’ve noticed the packaging and seems like the ingredients has slightly changed to what it was before, I read something about it having to meet US regulations/standards to have it supplied over there. My little girl is just a little over 4 months so I don’t know if it’s a phase, teething or what, but she’s been grunting a lot as if she’s uncomfortable or in pain when she’s drinking her milk or even just before she’s about to have her feed. My GP isn’t great nor is my HV, I usually just get the bog standards, it’s normal or whatever, but I just can’t help but feel since the packaging has changed with kendamil is when she started being like this. I just wanted to ask if any of you who are also using kendamil have noticed something similar??
TIA!

We don't use formula but have heard looooads of people saying this on socials!!!

We used kendamil for my girl who’s now 3 and she had no problems so we chose that one for our boy, he was fine to start until they changed the packaging and he was so unhappy, not finishing bottles and constantly sick etc, I changed to the organic one as that is still made in uk and he’s a different baby in a good way

We’ve been using Kendamil since birth, to be honest I didn’t notice a change in my son between the new and old stuff BUT I have seen a lot of people saying it online. If you’re worried she’s more gassy you could try a couple of drops of Coleif in her bottle? (You can get it from boots) just to smooth the transition then slowly phase it out xx

We noticed the same so I changed her to Hipp Organic and it seems to be agreeing with her a bit better x

This is really interesting because our combo fed Kendamil baby seems a little bunged up and uncomfortable recently and I didn’t realise the ingredients had changed

I’ve noticed a change. In the past few months I’ve seen three different Kendamil packaging. The first one before the shortages her poos were thicker. When the can changed she seemed grumpier and then her poos changed in consistency and when she would poo. Now there’s another can and the supermarkets are stocking both 😓

Thanks ladies!! Tbh I was really trying to hold off on changing her formula just because she took to it so well in a sense of no reflux and drank all bottles but it’s clearly not sitting with her well, so will have to look at alternatives? Because I have tried infacol and gripe water also but hasn’t really helped her she still seems super uncomfortable and grunty. My first born was on aptamil but didn’t sit with her well so we switched to kendamil and didn’t have any issues after that so it’s just a shame that it hasn’t worked out this time around. I’ll take any suggestions for alternatives? I see 2 suggestion for kendamil organic and hipp organic so will keep that in mind. Thanks again ladies ! X

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵
