Hi, my baby is on this milk, we have only been using around a week but I can try and answer any questions xx

Hey my baby has been on this milk since she was a month so happy to answer any questions just give me a message xx

Thank you both! He’s also only been on it for a week and 2 days but his poo has gone orange? And when he poos I can hear it come out of him like he’s farting if that makes sense… sorry for being gross haha. Is that normal?

My baby is exactly the same but she is combi fed breast too, her poo was always yellow on breast milk but since introducing this, it has gone slightly darker and yes, you can hear it coming out like a fart🤣🙃 she was the same with just breast milk and midwife told me it was because it is easier to digest, maybe he is digesting this formula easier? I believe orange is a normal colour but you know your baby best so if you have concerns I’d check with a midwife! Xx

@Kas it's totally normal it's a different type of milk with maybe different ingredients in it which means his tummy has to get used to it and if he's farting that's even better because that means the wind isn't getting trapped so that means not painful tummies xx poo changes colour and along as there's not blood in it and it's not rock hard tour all good don't worry to much about the colour thou do be prepared for the blowout my little one had so many transitioning onto the milk as it was different but it's all good

@ava Yes we had our first one of them today it was absolutely everywhere!😂 he is farting but it’s like he’s pushing out his poo and it’s just coming out ooo instead haha. He’s got a sore bum since being on this milk too and cries when he farts 😅 which makes me wonder if it’s not agreeing with him or if I just need to persevere a bit longer xx

thank you yes he defo is digesting it easier he was always constipated before and screams after feeds but he’s much more chilled now! Apart from crying when he farts 😂 we have the health visitor tomorrow so I’ll ask then! Thank you xx

Mines been on it since birth ((nearly 8 months now)) x

did you find the same change in stools? And mine is still being sick due to reflux just not as bad as we was before we swapped the milk but it has only been a week

I didn’t at all! But might just be getting used to a different main ingredient in the formula? Are you using colic bottles or anything? We used colic bottles and no reflux- not sure if it’s linked x

Hey mamas! Are your LOs taking this due to milk allergy? Did you have to get it prescribed by the GP? How did you go about it? We’re considering switching to this to help with eczema. TIA!

I got it prescribed after my LO massively broke out in angry red rashes around 6 weeks old (combi fed) Took her to the GP and he thought it was a milk allergy and prescribed it on the spot x

Thank you!

hey, my little girl was screaming after feeds with trapped wind, constipated etc so went to the GP and this was prescribed, the midwife recommended another one which can be bought from Amazon which is also the same for a cows milk allergy which is by SMA x

Hey mines the same as what Megan said,
Along them same lines aswell! It is prescribed but I think you can buy it on the aptimil
Website x

Thank you, ladies 🤗
