Question about infant formula....?

Question

My baby came home on Similac Advanced, but made him very gassy and fussy, was then switched to Similac Sensitive by my Ped. and did not help and started to make his poop firm, so I then was told to switch to Isomil, which he is on now, and is not fussy or gassy anymore, but very constipated! I told my ped. I wanted to try Enfamil? He gave me samples, but I hope it doesn't bring the gas back! Has anyone tried going back to milk based form soy and seen good results?

Answer 1

Sounds like the problem I had and I had to change to similac alimentum and that helped alot!! we tried all the formulas and the soy worked the best but the constipation was horrible. I would try the alimentum

Answer 2

I had my son on Enfamil Prosobee, it is a soy based formula. My son did great on it. My son couldn't be on milk based formula because he was developing an allergy to milk.

You should try the Enfamil soy formula before going back to milk based. Try and find what formula is best for your son and stick to it, it is better for your son's tummy.

Answer 3

My son had to switch to Enfamil Prosobee Lipil and did great.

Answer 4

i agree, switching the formulas so much could be a big part of the problem

Answer 5

.....switching him around so much is probably interfering with his bowel movements.....add a little dark Karo syrup in the bottle...you can find this in the baking isle at the store, this always helped my babies...or buy baby glycerin suppositories, I used to have to do this with my son, breast fed babies don't have all these problems, I learned, my second baby I nursed for 13 months.....she was great.

Answer 6

wow chill out on the switching!
