Symptoms worse on Aptamil Pepti?
Has anyone had success on AA formula after EHP one not worked?
My LO was on Kendamil from birth, and never seemed settled though assumed reflux, then a rash appeared around week 4/5 and got gradually worse. Tried Kendamil Comfort and came out in hives.
GP prescribed Aptamil Pepti 1 but no improvement 5 days in, in fact his rash has gotten worse. I stupidly tried a bottle of normal Hipp yesterday thinking maybe it was just Kendamil but he’s come out in hives again.
I have been referred to the Unsettled Infant Clinic in a weeks time. Should we stick to Aptamil until then or go back to GP? Just concerned about changing the formula too much.
Oh and cherry on the cake is sudden breast refusal since on EHP formula as combi fed.
So upsetting seeing him in this much pain 🥺 any help appreciated x

Aptimil pepti still contains milk proteins and you might need to try amino acid based milk which is broken down a lot more like neocate but you might need carobel with it to thicken it.
Keep on with aptimil pepti so it’s not to upset little one. Ik it’s upsetting with it all but hopefully you can get some answers next week. xx
Our LO had Nutramigen which is just an alternative brand to Aptimal Pepti 1 by EHF, he had a couple days where we thought he was getting better but then got a whole lot worse again. We stuck out the two week trial period but then went back to GP and got Neocate which has zero cows milk protein in, we’re on day 7 of this now and the difference is unreal! He’s by no means symptom free and back to normal, but he is so so much better so hopefully by the end of 2 weeks he’ll be even better. They will usually want you to wait out the 2 week trial but if you feel things have worsened I’d just go back to them and ask for amino formula 💙
Thanks both for replying, this gives me hope! X
