follow up milk?

[futuremum]

I do not know if i have done good but i bought sma progress for thomas as he is going to be 6 months old on thursday and has 3 meals a day now. he does not drink much so i thought maybe the extra iron and vitamins is what he needs :

have you already put your babies on the follow up milk? how did they reatc to it? normally? thanks for answers

Hiya Reece went from C&G omneo comfort 1 to C&G omneo comfort 2 (follow on)with no problems at all. He wasn't sick or anything, just the same. I wouldn't worry about it hun Thomas will be fine

The only caution I would say is that it can make babies constipated (I guess it might be the extra iron), and I know Thomas has had this in the past. Perhaps introduce it to him slowly over a couple of days??

I was wondering about this also as Aimee is about the same age... I have heard that follow on is rubbish and you can keep them on the normal milk but I have noticed follow on is a bit cheaper so if it saves pennies then i'll use it ! lol

Yes I also heard my HV saying that babies dount need follow on milk that they are fine to carry on with normal milk but if it is cheaper...........

I put Abi on follw on milk (C&G) and she had bad bellies all the time so went back to normal milk but have now tried her again on the follow on and she seems fine this time will be moving on to the next one soon, also she has been having some cows milk on her cereal

Will buy normal milk now because this one gives him tummy aches and although he is on medication, he struggles to get his poo out . But my supermarket is a pain in the a***, they do not do the milk i take anymore. i used to be on cow and gate premium, it has not been on the shelves for ages so switched to sma, but now they only do sma progress
i used to buy Aptamil and they stopped it too but now it is back on the shelf. not a happy bunny i am about them
