My son was born 8/26/12 at 34 weeks. He started out on Similac Advtange...just what they give you in the hospital. He was having a hard time going #2 so we switched him to Similac Soy. He is now able to use the bathroom but seem to be spitting up a lot more as well as very gassy. His tummy seems to hurt him so bad. He will cry and scream until he passes the gas or burps. Seems like everytime he burps he is spitting up too. We have been thinking about trying another formula to see if that would help. Can I have your opinions? Our dr suggested the switch to Soy and we go back to see her at the end of this month but thought I would see if anyone else has dealt with this.
My 1st son had this same problem and switching him to soy fixed him right up, doesn't seem to help though.

my question is why didnt you breastfeed him while in hospital?
if he has a sensitive tummy try soy or switch to sensitive formulas. but breastmilk is more easily digested so you wouldnt have any problems like this.
