Formula for a day?!?!?

Question

My son has been fussy non-stop since 3 weeks old, and I decided to try him on soy formula. I was EBF, giving him grip water,and mylicon. Nothing seemed to be working so I figured maybe he was lactose intolerant like me, so I switched him to formula. Is it okay to go back to EBF after trying it for a day? My son has been screaming even worse now that he's been on it..

Answer

Its always ok to go back to breastfeeding

Answer

It's fine to go back to breastfeeding but I'd talk to a doctor about why he's so upset

Answer

It may have been a growth spurt. My easy going baby gets fussy when she's growing.

Answer

I wouldnt necessarily assume they had any allergy or bad reaction to the formula, my Dr said to give any change 2 weeks because they have sensitive underdeveloped systems at this point and they take a while to adjust. I definitely think you can always go back or supplement with breast milk tho. My Dr said even with formula, any breast milk he was getting was great for him.

Answer

It took my son a while to get used to formula since I've been supplementing at night while I work and don't get to feed/pump as much and anything i save is for my MIL who babysits. He's not fussy anymore and takes to it a lot better then he did at first. Sometimes it just takes time for them too get used to it.

Answer

Has he been checked for a lip or tongue tie? It can cause gas and reflux. My daughter is 10 weeks old and gets fussy all the time from gas, she has a slight lip tie. I bought Windi baby and it's been a life saver. The gripe water did nothing for us this time around.
