Formula help please!!!

Question

Short back story.. babes is 6 weeks and since day 1 has had horrible reflux. He’s formula fed. We had him on similac pro advanced for awhile and he would projectile vomit and scream after every feeding. We didn’t even hesitate to switch his formula and after many suggestions we decided on nutramigen... he’s been on this since . 
Well the reflux continues.. we saw his Ped last week and he felt like we were over feeding him causing the reflux so we cut back.... and his ped recommended switching him off the nutramigen.  His reflux continues and i just don’t know what formula to use? Anyone have experience going from a hypoallergenic formula back to a sensitive based one? Suggestions or recommendations??? 
I do all the things.. burping frequently, sitting up after feedings, etc. 
Any suggestions would be appreciated!! I’m worried going from a hypoallergenic back to a sensitive will upset his tummy.

Answer

My son did well with European formula. We really liked Holle goat milk formula because it’s the most natural to breastmilk and it’s organic, very pure ingredients, etc.

Answer

So I had to put in a recommendation, please don’t give your baby grown up antacid. However, my son ended up having to be on prescription acid reducers until he was 12 months and was on nutramigen as well. We never found a formula that made him reflux free but the combo of the nutramigen with the baby Zantac seemed to help a lot!  If you can’t find a formula to work ask for a pediatric GI and see what they think. He out grew his reflux for awhile but it came back around 2.5 and he’s had to start taking Prilosec daily but it’s still not as bad as it was when he was a baby. Good luck!

Answer

We had luck with Enfamil AR and zantac till 9 months old.

Answer

You will have to order it but it was a serious life saver. European formula doesn’t have the same additives as North American and is much better quality. HIPP stage one cows milk is just as good and a bit cheaper, it comes with fish oil as well so you’re getting the good fats.
I know not everyone can do this, but I always recommend it if you can. I’m trying to lobby together enough signatures to change the standards of our formula to European formula because all babies should have access to the quality.

Answer

Our reflux baby has done well after switching to this.

Answer

Same exact thing happened with my 7 weeks old. We switched to Nutramigen and he did ok for a bit and then started with the same issues again so we switched him to this and he has been doing great

Answer

Alimentum Ready to Feed is a LIFE CHANGER FOR REFLUX

Answer

Maybe you could try breaking up his feedings? my little one is super fussy and would spit up often after her bottle. I noticed that she would be fussy and irritated when we would keep giving her the bottle to finish at one sitting, she spat up a lot each time she had a feeding with taking the whole bottle. So i figured to give her half of her feeding then wait about 20-30 minutes to give her the rest of the bottle, just to try it out, and It helped her to be happy and satisfied and her spitting up stopped almost completely! Also remember that as your baby gets older so will the digestive system, your little one will eventually stop spitting up! Hope this helps!!

Answer

This was what or pediatrician recommended. It has done better for us than the Similac did. We're still on a daily dose of compounded Omeprazole, but that combination has done very well for us.

Answer

I’m not sure if this will help but my baby had lots of stomach problems & still does at 7 months. Similac never worked for her but I have heard good stuff about enfamil. We tried the gentlease and that is a good one too. We did this one thought bc it was low lactose and it helped for a few months and was the only one she really kept down but then no formula would work for her so I had to start only breastfeeding. I would see a specialist or a different ped bc they should really give u some recommendations based on his symptoms :( sorry I hope it gets better a
