Comfort milk has much less lactose (milk sugar) in it than normal formula, it helps babies who are having trouble digesting the lactose. It won't make any difference if the only problem is trapped air in the tummy.

There are some concerns about the fact that soya contains phytoestrogens. These are found naturally in some plants. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has recommended that pregnant women and new mothers be informed on the benefits and superiority of breastfeeding – in particular the fact that it provides the best nutrition and protection from illness for babies. Mothers should be given guidance on the preparation for, and maintenance of, lactation, with special emphasis on the importance of a well-balanced diet both during pregnancy and after delivery. Unnecessary introduction of partial bottle-feeding or other foods and drinks should be discouraged since it will have a negative effect on breastfeeding. Similarly, mothers should be warned of the difficulty of reversing a decision not to breastfeed. Before advising a mother to use an infant formula, she should be advised of the social and financial implications of her decision: for example, if a baby is exclusively bottle-fed, more than one can (400 g) per week will be needed, so the family circumstances and costs should be kept in mind. Mothers should be reminded that breast milk is not only the best, but also the most economical food for babies. If a decision to use an infant formula is taken, it is important to give instructions on correct preparation methods, emphasising that unboiled water, unsterilised bottles or incorrect dilution can all lead to illness. My son was the same as your little girl at that age. We spent a few nights with him groaning and wriggling around, obviously unsettled and it seemed like the trouble was 'bottom wind' and pain rather than just trapped air that he'd swallowed during a feed (the moaning and groaning used to start a couple of hours after he'd been fed).
