What formula works best for your LO?

Question

I've tried Similac Advanced and baby was constipated. Switched to Gerber Good Start Gentle and over 2 weeks became extremely irritable/gassy. Just switched to Similac Sensitive and hoping this soothes him. 
What formulas have you all tried and what symptoms did you notice?

Answer

I have to supplement with formula bc I have a very low milk production and we use enfamil gentlease. She was so grouchy and constipated on all others we tried. With this one, she gets a lot of gas out and has a daily dirty diaper (sometimes two). If you sign up for enfamil online, they send you $10.00 coupons every month!

Answer

Our pediatrician just put my LO on nurimagin and he is doing way better! Hardly any gas and he is way more alert and in a much better mood, he even sleeps better!

Answer

we had the same problem with Gerber Good Start Gentle, we made the switch to Enfamil Gentlease and LO has been in such better moods, sleeps better at night and doesn't strain like she was either the other to make a BM.

Answer

I am having the opposite issue. 
In the hospital they gave Enfamil  New born. Which she did okay. On. When we got him I had bought Similac sensitive  which she was on for about 2 weeks. She was pooping 8-10 times a day all runny and wattery. 
The Dr switches us back to Enfamil newborn and still didn't help.

My poop baby is so raw down there from all the diariah is so sad .

So now the Dr had her on nutramagan which is super expensive but is like top on the line formula.

Still she poops like 8-10 times a a day every bottle  she poops with in 2 hours.

At least now it's clay like mushy poop n not all runs an watery.
.but is this normal anyone else havi ng this issue instead of constipation?????

Answer

Our problem is wic only covers Similac ): they all seem to make her irritable and constipated...my poor baby. She's 1 month old...and I don't always have time to pump...she was born.on methadone bc I had to take it ( she had a little to no withdrawal symptoms thank god and was out of the hospital within 4 days and no nicu) (: but I am still trying to breastfeed....however I'm working on getting more milk to produce. So I supplement w formula....which I hate giving it to her bc she's been such a diff baby ever since I started...we had her in alementium....two others, and now total comfort. And that's still makes her miserable ): so I started taking fenugreek Nd it is really starting to increase my milk production. I'm hoping it continues. Is there any other things you mommies did to increase your milk production???

Answer

We have used similac organic since birth and he never had a problem. He loves it! Also, how long is baby going without a poopy? Doctor said that its normal for babies on formula to not have bowel movements so frequently. He said it's only an issue if it goes several days and the poop is solid. If it's still smooshy than baby is just uncomfortable due to not being use to passing a poop.
