Finlay had every powdered milk under the sun trying to find one that he could digest/be comfortable with. Nothing worked for him but settled with Aptamil cartons (ready made) by about 5/6 months I think, don't know, can't remember now!!!!

I used SMA mainly. Suppose all their follow on milk ads did their job then

I did breifly try a couple of different milks with Imo as she had bed colic and reflux. In the end we started using 'SMA stay down' for refluxes and it was great.

We used cow and gate with Finn, not sure what made me choose it, I bought it when I was pregnant just incase I didnt get on with BF, I didnt want to be stuck in the middle of the night!!
He started having it at 3 months x

I've used Aptamil with all three. Have tried out the Hipp Organic formula too. D

mmm.... After all my slagging of Apatamil, I bought some last nite....

Cara has had abt 6-8 formula feeds up to last night and abt 15mins after 3 of them (which included 2 yesterday) vomitted everywhere and it wasnt just spit up: major vomit so went to get a different brand of premade formula and thats what Tesco had!

Any ideas? Coincidence?

Was it the SMA she was sick on? Georgias first one I gave her was SMA and it made her sick a lot. I think it is creamer than others. I personnaly like cow and gate no reason. Theo didnt like cow and gate so he had aptimal.

just thinking of the basics to start....is she over eating?

She's taking abt 80-100ml of EBM or formula a time. Am winding her at the end of feeding and sometimes in the middle if she lets me without complaining too much!

Btw, she did throw up after her first Aptamil feed too.

She was ok after her breastfeed at lunch and she's just had some EBM so we'll she what she's like now!

Ta everyone!
