Hi ladies,

Unfortunately I and to end my BF'ing relationship with DD2 and have had to switch to formula! She is 7.5 weeks old and has been showing signs of reflux since 5 weeks old! DD1 was a terrible "refluxer" so it was easy to spot the signs this time. She's been on NAN AR which has given her terrible constipation, so I desperately need to find an alternative. The longest she went was 4 days and when she did eventually go her stool was firm and dry and there was lots of crying :( Until I find a suitable alternative I am giving some cool boiled water in the morning and 2/3 drops of olive oil in her first bottle. Since doing this her stool is softer and she is going every 2nd day!

Could you please give me your reviews on:

S-26 AR
Novolac AR
Aptimal AR

I bought all 3 tins today, and want to change her formula within the next few days, however this will be the 4th time I am changing it (first she was on normal NAN, then NAN AR, then Aptimal Comfort, then back to NAN AR), so I really want to try and make this the last change!

Any info will be greatly appreciated! DD1 was exclusively breastfed so this whole formula malarky is very foreign to me :\:

TIA

Thank you Enigma1979! I've read more good than bad reviews about Novolac, so your post gives me re-assurance! And good to know about the "no-constipation" ;)
