How long should you try formula before switching?

Question

My LO is 3 weeks. He's breastfed but we want to go strictly formula. He's been on Enfamil gentle ease since Tuesday taking a few bottles a day. He's not sleeping agter, very fussy, not pooping as often, acts like he's in pain. So should I introduce simliic and if so what kind?

Answer

We are supplementing when I don't have time to breastfeed  and we are using this Similac-this is what the nurses were feeding him in the NICU.

Answer

This is very good my Lo tolerates it well no fussing and sleeps very well

Answer

It is pretty expensive but we think it's worth it so far. A medium sized can like the one in the picture is about $17 at Walmart and a large can is about $30😕 I did sign up for coupons on the Similac website yesterday but haven't received anything yet.

Answer

If you have been breastfeeding and are switching to formula I would give him a couple weeks before switching. It takes awhile for the gut to adjust to breaking down new things.
