USDA ORGANIC GELMIX 4.4 oz (125 g) JAR *NEW SIZE

Q: Wondering if anyone has experienced thicker stool? We just started using with breast milk. I was wondering if this problem resolved or persisted.

Gelmix adds fiber to the diet, so for most babies, this may cause loose stools and gassiness at the start. Any changes to the diet can effect stools and is dependent on many factors, including how much fluid they are taking. If you have questions about your baby's stool consistency, it is always best to consult with your pediatrician on what is or isn't normal for your baby.

Q: If I prep a bottle with just water and gelmix ahead of time, will I still have to let it sit for 5 minutes once I add the formula?

No, once you prepare the warm water + Gelmix, the mixture will achieve the desired thickness within 5-10 mins. Then, when you're ready to feed, just mix in the formula with no need to wait any additional time before feeding.

Q: How does one thicken breast milk with it?

I have tried as per recommendation 5-10 mins of wait with fresh/warm/hot breast milk. It does not work, I have to wait an hour or 45 mins EVERY SINGLE FEED. Stop false Advertising. - Frustrated Parent
