so tell me about formula's that you use and why....

[crumpet]

Gold formulas have more iron added than the normal ones which can give constipation we changed to Heinz from karicare gold because it was cheaper I know not really a good reason to change but DS was getting too constipated I would definitely recommend not using the gold one

oh wow thanks i had no idea!!!
yeah id rather not deal with constipation!!

if the hospital put her on say karicare, when we are going home and DH runs into the chemist can we just swap her to a different brand?

or is there a way of doing it?

I thought the gold ones had extra omega 3"s and such added to them?

I've formula fed 3 kids now, and all of them have been on different ones - different digestive systems so they all work in different ways.

DS was happy on S26 Gold. No constipation issues.

DD1 was constipated on every formula bar goats milk formula.

DD2 vomited on most formulas, but vomited the least amount on Heinz nurture.

So it definitely depends on your baby.

We've only Heinz Nurture in the past for our babies. I haven't used the newborn one, but have used the 6 months +. I have heard from others that babies get less constipation on Heinz than others. I'm not sure how you go about changing formula. But maybe take in whatever one you want to use, and make sure that's the one bub is given.
