I wondered if anyone else is using this formula

I changed April onto it after being at my wits end as she was NEVER settled. She seemed to settle down beautifully but that seemed to be at the same time as I started weaning her, so it might be coincedence.

I find it makes her really windy, and when she poos its always green and like an explosion (tmi) but its like water and really pongs awful. Its that bad you can smell her at a hundred paces.  Every time it just explodes out of her nappy, up her back etc etc, you get the picture. 

I just wondered if anyone else uses this formula, and if so does your lo have the same side effects? Love to hear anyone elses experiences.  Im seriously considering changing her back to milumil....

thanks peeps

Louis is on omneo comfort he was on Aptamil up until he was about 6wks old but he screamed constantly, so on advice of hv and DR i changed and he was instantly settled on it.

His poo's are exactly the same green/smelly/v.runny and we have the occasion where it goes everywhere lol, but it seems to be working really well for him he's been on it 10wks now.

The only thing that i dont like about it is that its v.starchy and it stinks but Louis likes it and its done everything it said it would do on the tin so it gets thumbs up from me!!

I have heard that it hasn't always worked for some ppl, i think a few other mm's have tried it and then changed because it hasnt helped !

Oh i forgot to add it does help Louis loads with his wind ...tho he doesnt always bring it up through his mouth it comes from t'other end!

I find i dont have to wind him for long because he brings loads up by himself!

ta hun, ive took the plunge this morning and just bought some c+g plus, trying anything I suppose, was going to go for the omneo comfort again, but after spending a whole morning with April screaming in the doctors, round Homebase and round the supermarket, i thought, right Im gonna try a different formula! Added to that she done the most massive poo round the supermarket and it stunk - ewwwwkkkk !

Im glad your lo is settled on it - dosnt it make life easier ! lol
