I know poo isn't supposed to smell pleasant and I thought this was quite normal as they had always been this way. There are a variety of infant formulas on the market. It is advised that a baby should start with a “first” infant milk, whether bottle or combination fed. My 17 week daughter has been on this milk since she was 5 weeks and I can honestly say that whilst it seems to have benefitted her wind and reflux better (although this could also be due to her gut maturin with age) I have found this milk to be an absolute nightmare and wondered whether anyone else using this had any ideas. The chemical structure of phytoestrogens is similar to the female hormone oestrogen. Because of this, there are concerns that they could affect a baby's reproductive development, especially in babies who drink only soya-based infant formula.

Partially hydrolysed formula (comfort formula) is not suitable for babies who have cows' milk allergy. Lactose-free formula Although most follow-on formulas, apart from HiPP Organic, provide a similar amount of calcium to cow's milk per 100ml, they are all higher in sugar and more expensive.

Clean bottles and teats thoroughly: You should wash bottles, teats and other feeding equipment in hot, soapy water. Then rinse them with running water, after which they are ready to be sterilised.

Although it's often described as suitable for "hungrier babies", there's no evidence that babies settle better or sleep longer when fed this type of formula. Anti-reflux (staydown) formula Soya formula is made from soya beans, not cows' milk. It's occasionally used as an alternative to cows' milk formula for babies who have cows' milk allergy. Not all milk is suitable for a baby and, as a result, it is advised by the NHS that you do not give your baby any of the following milks: Baby formula should be mixed with boiled water that has not cooled for more than 30 minutes. Once the mixture has cooled, you can then feed it to your little one. As formula powder is not sterile, it is important that the water used is at least 70°C. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines on the ratio of powder to boiled water as each will have a slightly different method of preparation. You should always have your child’s colic or constipation symptoms looked at by your health visitor, pharmacist or GP before deciding on a treatment. If treatment is recommended by a health care professionnal and you see no effect after 2-3 weeks, you should talk again with your health visitor or GP about alternative options.hi, ive changed on to the cow and gate comfort milk for my 10week boy, cos he was very unsettled in the past with normal feeds, whilst he was drinking he used to be jumpy (sumtimes) and hed never settle properly after a feed, even tho he stops drinking by puching the bottle out of his mouth.
