What is colic?
All babies cry, but some cry more than others. When there is no obvious cause for excessive crying it could be a sign of colic. 1 in 5 babies experience colic. Symptoms usually start in the first few weeks of life and start to improve by 3-4 months.
What is constipation?
All babies will have a different pattern to their bowel movements. Constipation means when it is more difficult for your baby to have a poo, and symptoms include pooing less than 3 times in a week. Constipation in babies is usually easily managed.
If you think your baby has colic or constipation, speak to your GP, health visitor or pharmacist for advice.
How to prepare your baby’s feed
Watch our preparation video for the safe way to make SMA® Comfort Formula Powder or follow the step-by-step instructions below.
And here is how you prepare it step by step
While this product is made under strict hygienic conditions, it is not sterile. Failure to follow instructions may make your baby ill.
1
Wash hands well. Wash and sterilise all utensils according to manufacturers’ instructions.
2
Boil 1 litre of fresh tap water. Allow boiled water to cool for no more than 30 minutes so the water can reach the recommended temperature of 70°C. Measure the required amount of water (see feeding guide) into a sterilised bottle, carefully – the water is hot. Do not use artificially softened or repeatedly boiled water.
3
Using only the scoop provided, add the correct number of scoops of powder (see feeding guide), levelling off each scoop with the back of a clean, dry knife. Store the scoop in suspension inside the can and replace lid.
4
Place the sterilised teat and cap on the bottle and shake well until powder is fully dissolved. Cool bottle under cold running water until lukewarm. Test temperature by shaking a few drops onto the inside of your wrist.
