Hello Everyone,
My son is a week old tomorrow, he's been on Aptimal 1st Milk since he was born. He drinks this fine.
However, we have started to notice that his poo is rather pellet like, and although he is still pooing I think it's starting to cause him some distress. I mentioned this to the Midwife and she suggested either expressing breast milk as it has a laxative effect or tummy massage - I really don't want to express. We have tried some tummy massage but not had huge success.
So, my question is:
1. We have been offering him an ounce of water after each feed, is this ok? We only started last night, as that seems to be worst time.
2. Is this a common problem with Aptimal, should we try different variety of Aptimal or formula altogether?
Many thanks,
