I was breastfeeding for the 1st weeks of my baby girl's life, but have now went back to work and have had to supplement formula as well as breastfeeding at night and trying to pump during the day at work. My mother in law watches her during the day and feeds her Goodstart w/Iron DHA ARA. I tried her on Enfamil w/Iron at first, but she would just scream and scream it seemed like in pain. Then her pediatrician put her on Enfamil for fussiness and gas and my baby would not take that. As of Thanksgiving, I tried Goodstart because I heard of the comfort proteins in it that make it easier on babies tummies because it has already broke down the proteins. Well, everyday, around 3p.m., she goes into a screaming fit for about an hour. My mother in law thinks it's because of the Iron in the formula. She thinks that because she drinks the formula all day, it is too hard on her tummy by mid-day. Any formula's out there w/no iron or low iron? Did you run into this problem w/belly aches from iron?
