Stick with follow on or switch back?

I moved Chester onto follow on milk a couple of weeks ago cus he was on comfort milk and it was a pain to make up and he didnt have windy issues anymore suggesting he still needed comfort milk.

Anyway.. He's been really constipated literally since a couple of days after the swicth over. Now I dont know what to do? Stick with it til he gets used to the milk, if so how long do I wait?

or, switch milks, if so to a different follow on or back to stage 1?

He's on C&G 3 was on C&G comfort.

Imogen got terribly constipated with cg3 and was quite poorly with it, was horrible to watch her in pain with it and we switched her back to hungry baby - within 3 days she was back to normal and feeling so much happier and alert and the poos went back to normal.

I'm sounding like a Hipp saleswoman I know.....


Lewis was on C&G for about a month, we tried 1, comfort 1, hungry baby! We put him on the standard Hipp after doctor recommendation and he's thrived on it!

(oh, it's cheaper as well!!!)

Thanks For your replies ladies...

Dont they need the extra iron in follow on milk tho? I think its the Iron making him constipated? He's on a mixed diet now as well.

I'm going to go and change his milk today, like you say Sarah he is in quite a lot of pain with it when he tries to poo and nothing comes out

yes iron can cause constipation until they get used to it. i'd try hipp too- it was my favourite follow-on formula.
