Hi all,

DS is 5 months and is bf with 2 bottles of formula a day. He was having Heinz Nurture which I have also used for my other 2 kids and never had any problems. But I decided to try Bellamy's, i like the fact it's organic and have read good reviews. He's been having it for 2 days and I'm not sure if it's from that not but he's been screaming much more and last night woke every hour, I bf him at 12 and 3 but heard him passing wind a lot in his cot so I don't think he was waking from hunger. So I guess I'm wondering if I should give Bellamy's a few more days or just change back to Heinz since I already know he's fine on that..... Has anyone had any problems with Bellamy's?

ETA - he didn't do a poo yesterday either, usually he does 1 or 2 a day. Hopefully he'll do one today.

Quite possibly is it the Bellamy's. Different formula companies have slightly different formula recipes and source their ingredients from different places.

Maybe go back to Heinz and see if symptoms stop - might take a few feeds though.

It may also be something else. It will just be trial and error.

We gave it a couple more days and now he's fine, I think Maybe it could have been because I was shaking it and it is very bubbly? No idea if this is why but I started stirring and he's been fine.
