So I'm currently using Mamia formula from Aldi for my 3 month old, as many people recommended this brand, but I'm planning to switch to Kendamil or Aptamil. When is it advisable to switch ? Any suggestions? And which brand is better?

My little girl is 4 weeks, experiencing constipation, colic and reflux. I've heard some babes have issues with Aptamil doing this and after some research, many people recommend Hipp Organic. So I've got the new formula, but it's completely different measurements. With Aptamil we're currently on 5 scoops to 150ml, ...

Does anyone know where I can source domperidone from without a GP?

4 months just hit and pediatrician cleared for purées. He eats 60% breast milk & 40% formula. Pediatrician said I could probably replace formula entirely if he likes his purées and he has a great interest in food. How much did you feed your baby to replace formula if you also happened to combo feed?
