Immediate upset stomach whilst drinking Aptamil Pepti 1

My daughter was prescribed Aptamil Pepti 1 for suspected CMPA and has been taking it since Friday. She is mostly breastfeeding but has 1-2 bottles of formula per day. She’s not a fan of the new formula and is putting up quite a fuss when drinking it so we are only giving her small amounts to try and let her body and tastebuds adjust. Since she has been on it she’s had really loose and smelly poos which I understand is expected when transitioning.

She had one bottle yesterday afternoon at around 2pm and no second bottle in the evening and I noticed her poos returned to a more “normal” consistency last night and this morning. She just drank about 70mls of the formula and within 10 mins was squirming in discomfort and did a very watery browny poo. Is it normal for the formula to have such an instant effect? I thought it would take a few hours to get through her system.

Has anyone experienced the same thing?

Sometimes the reaction is really quick, I did find that aptamil pepti 1 still has the proteins in it, just broken down. We had to go on specialist prescription milk completely free of milk proteins to finally be done with the discomfort. And we had to add carobel (thickening agent) to it or he would spit up endlessly. But too much carobel and he'd be instantly constipated. Feeding took a while to figure out tbh

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. 🩵

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?

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 🙂

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.

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

I feel like just a milk cow

Hi I have a 16 day old via c section, I'm a FTM never having been around babies before as I am the youngest of my household and from a small family. My husband is fantastic with our little one. But ever since I've had the baby I just feel like the only thing I'm good for is producing milk. I feel disconnected from my husband like the only reason he's around is because am producing milk. We were having some issues before the baby and we're struggling it took a while to feel like he was onboard even though he said he was from the moment we found out. I dunno if I'm feeling like a spear part because I'm lacking confidence with baby or because I feel like he wouldn't mind being a single dad. Is this postpartum hormones or something else?
