Yep. My son was allergic to cows milk based formula, so we had to switch him to soy. He went from being constipated, to having diarrhea. It's very common with a formula switch. If it persists and you're worried about it, talk to the doctor and see what's up. Make sure the baby gets lots of fluids. You didn't mention age, but I believe younger babies can even have Pedialyte to help with dehydration. My doctor recommended it for my son, and he was pretty young. Don't give the baby anything before you consult your doctor though. Good luck!

It depends on the formula. When I switched my son to a different formula is did have the diarrhea. You might want to call your doctor to make sure everything is ok, because I don't know what kind of formula you switched to.

Of course it is, although keep an eye on the Baby as well. If the diarrhea doesn't stop within a few days, think about bringing him/her to a Pediatrician.

Absolutely, any change in a babies diet can cause diarrhea. Give the baby apple juice that will help. Yes, apple juice will help heal a diarrhea problem in infants. Good Health to you and your baby.

yes it can, and almost always does. doctors say to slower introduce new formula into the bottle with the usual formula over a period of a week, every new day the ratio gets more for the new formula.
just like when we go overseas and try new food... the horror!

It can be, like all of us foods can effect us in strange ways. If your baby was used to the old formula it might take getting used to or you might want to go back to the other one if it does not change.

Yes! However, you should set your mind at ease and check with the baby's pediatrician.

yes - just as your system has to adjust to change - the same is for them, just do not allow it to continue to carry on too long .... consult your pediatrician
