Hi, I have just switched my 9 month old son onto formula after being breastfed since birth. He has been eating solids since 4 months. Since switching my boy has gone from passing 3 quite firmish, usually orange stools to passing 3 - 4 large green stools which are soft. He is fine and very happy during the day but is sometimes waking once or twice screaming at night with what seems to be wind pain. Are his stools normal or could the formula be causing him problems? Thanks for your help!
Formula can lead to colicky pain, and using a bottle for feeding can cause infections. If there are no contraindications for breastfeeding it should be continued. Starting formula feeds or cows milk before the age of 2-3 years is not recommended and can contribute to cows milk allergy
