What formula is best?

Question

My baby girl is 5 weeks 5 days is very gassy and poops every 2-3 day. Is it because of her formula? I use enfamil gentlease

Answer

Here’s how to pace feed

Answer

Babies are gassy. And that often of pooping is normal. I see no problem here. There’s no reason to change at all.

Answer

I don’t formula feed, but I have also heard that stirring the formula instead of shaking can help lessen the air that baby gets when feeding, which might help reduce the gas as well.

Answer

Buy some gas drops If you are concerned. Don't change the formula.

Answer

Also mommy’s bliss gripe water really helps

Answer

I’ll start off by saying every baby is different, as we’ve all been told plenty of times, however Gentlease made my daughter gassier and fussier. My doctor had us trial enfamil sensitive and we’ve been using it ever since (supplementing). Also consult with your pediatrician if you plan to switch formulas.

Answer

You might want to try a dairy free one just to check that it isn't that.

Answer

I would focus on the way baby is getting the formula! Are you lace feeding? Sometimes too much air gets in with their latch. Formula probably isn’t the problem. Also normal to go that long without pooping!
