Milk Powder Woes

We are now searching for a suitable milk powder for B...

While I'm still breastfeeding her daily, I need a milk formula for night feeds and for travelling.

We have already tried 4 without much success:

1. Simlilac by Abbott
This gave her a lot of wind in the stomach and she always fired her poop (watery consistency) far in all directions (propelled by the wind)! Although PD said the consistency and frequency was ok, we found 3 times of 2-3spurts daily too much and it always caught us by surprise! Yes, we were attacked by the mortar several times! We gave up the formula in the end even though we really love this.

2. NAN Pro by Nestle
This was the opposite. It gave her hard, snaky, smelly stools with blood streaks sometimes. We changed the formula after the second tin was finished.

3. S26 Gold by Wyeth
This was totally rejected by her! She would cry out loud after a few sips and it took ages to finish one bottle! Only lasted one and half days before we changed to the next formula.

4. Enfalac A+ by Mead Johnson
Currently trying out this. Third day. She doesn't seem to like it very much too. She cried out loud after taking half (sometimes quarter). It seemed to give her some wind and discomfort too. Stools excretion was not regular too. So far only once and quite watery. Not sure if it's because of the Similac that we gave during alternate feeds?

Still experimenting with Enfalac which doesn't seem promising... What's next? Mamil Gold? Friso? What else is there?


[10 Apr 2012: That's it! We have since switched to Mamex and now, Friso. B loves Marmex but she didin't poo for 5 days after that! Friso is our last option. Just started using yesterday and guess what? B pooed, not once but twice! I'm not sure if it's because the shit is due to come out or the powder is working its powers... we shall see...]
