Aptamil comfort milk
Looking for personal opinions on aptamil comfort formula. We’re using aptamil 1 currently and baby is showing signs of extreme discomfort when trying to pass wind/empty bowels. We were using infacol that was helping with wind but the discomfort was still an issue so we went to the GP who prescribed Colief and said we couldn’t use it alongside infacol. We’re not sure if the colief is really doing anything so have been looking into aptamil comfort formula but have seen mixed reviews I.e. it doing the opposite of what it’s meant to and making babies constipated when on the other hand other mums have said it’s been a game changer.
Does anyone have any experience with changing to this milk? How long did it take to see an improvement if there was one?

I used aptamil comfort after my baby was constipated. GP prescribed lactulose which worked really well but ofc didn’t want him reliant on it at such a small age (he was around 3-4 weeks old). For me the comfort worked really well, he wasn’t in any pain anymore. I used 2 boxes and then moved back to normal aptamil as his bowel movements became more regular and he wasn’t in any pain. Definitely try it and see if it works. Must note that infacol did absolutely nothing for my son so cud be that each baby reacts differently to it.
Also do tummy massages and bicycle legs. That also helped a lot too x
