Aptamil Gold+ 2 Questions & Answers

Hi Shanae,
I too switched from stage 1 to 2 for my son, but I cannot remember any serious issues except for farting ( gas) a bit and passing a quite a lot excretion (poo) every other day or the second without a struggle. He was quite settled on change. However, I remember I continued stage 1 for a little longer until his tummy gets matured. Look, compare the ingredients of stage 1 and 2 and see what made him to be so unsettled, so then you will get an idea of what impacted for his change. May be he needs a little time to get used to new formula. It is wise that you have switched back to stage 1 until his poor little tummy get adjusted. I would suggest you consult your family doctor or talk to maternity health nurse and seek their advice too since it is a recurrent issue before you step into your next decision. You can talk to your maternity heath nurse over the phone coz I have done numerous times. Hope this helps and wish you everything will go on well. xxxx

Hi, I ended up changing to NAN 2. I did however notice that his poos were a little bit harder on the NAN and I guess he wasn't used to that as his poos were always runny on the Karicare, so I just add an extra 10ml of water into each bottle and that seems to work. Every baby is different. You might have to keep changing formula's until you find the right one. Good luck.

Thanks, he is 12 months old, 9 months corrected as he was 3 months prem. He has been on stage one since he was 4 months old after he stopped tolerating breast milk. We haven't had any issues with stage one and stayed on it so long because he needed the extras while he wasn't eating much. But now he is eating more our health nurse said to try stage 2, she said to expect some constipation with the change but we got the opposite!. Doctor said staying on stage 1 won't hurt as we are starting weaning process so maybe it's just best to stay on stage 1 until he weans.
