Kendamil cows to goat

How do i transition from cows milk to goats and will it be worth it? My daughter is 11 weeks old is constipated which she takes lactulose for and infant gaviscon for her reflux but i feel the gaviscon is making her more sick. Im thinking of switching to goats milk. Any advice or tips?

There's nothing that shows that goats milk will help with reflux or anything. Sometimes rich formulas r just more difficult for some babies to digest on their sensitive stomachs. Things like Kendamil n aptamil are quite rich formulas, but sma and cow n gate aren't as rich n gentler on their stomachs. Goats milk can be quite fatty so it could actually make constipation n reflux worse instead. When u say sick do mean projectile sick, more spit up. Gaviscon n reflux medications aren't made to stop reflux they are want to stop the pain it causes its a big misconception that it cures n gets rid of it which no reflux medication does it just neutralises the acid so it's not as painful to spit up sometimes they get lucky n stop spitting up or reduces the amount as a nice side affect but it's not the intention. As long as ur baby isn't in pain or uncomfortable when spitting up the gaviscon is doing ita job x

@Willow shes never been in pain whilst being sick. It isn’t projectile but there is more than just a bit of spit up which is getting more each day that we’re using gaviscon

We’ve done a straight swap this week from Kendamil organic to goat. We were going to slowly transition but figured her digestive issues were already bad so how much worse could it get 🥲 she only has 3 bottles a day though, the rest breastfed. she’s definitely more comfortable already - not arching her back and squealing after a feed, more consistent and normal looking poos, less sicky and even when she does bring a little bit back up it’s way less curdled and I don’t think seems to taste as bad/burn like it was before as she’s less distressed by being sick. I think it’s worth a try, you know the current one isn’t working so what’s the harm. Good luck! X
