You don't have to give them a gold formula, in fact, if you ask me I think it is all a load of rubbish designed to make you buy the most expensive formula thinking it is 'better' because it is 'gold' with all the added good stuff kwim? I have only ever used Nestle Lactogen, which is the cheapest one on the market and my kids have thrived on it. I usually switch to Nan 2 when they are over 6mths, but I noticed the other day that these ones (nan 1 and Nan 2) have both gone 'gold' too, so I don't think I will swap.
There is a sticky thread that I created about constipation in BF and FF babies, I will post the link for you.

Agnes, Alister is only just coming good today. Last night he was in terrible pain from wind and I had to carry him around in the pouch for hours - not good when I have a mild dose of Lindsays tummy bug (but I'm better today) and don't want to give it to him. It never said on the info sheet how long to expect the side effects to last for, but I imagine a few days at least.
