What are colic and constipation in babies?

Colic is intense, inconsolable crying that lasts several hours, with a flushed face, clenched fists and legs pulled up to the chest. Constipation usually involves a baby passing abnormally delayed, infrequent, hard or dry stools, with pain and straining. A poor appetite and a lack of energy may also be noticed.

Can I switch my baby from Aptamil to Aptamil Comfort?

Yes, you can switch from Aptamil to Aptamil Comfort. Because Aptamil Comfort is formulated for the dietary management of colic and constipation, it must be used under medical supervision, so speak to your healthcare professional before switching.
