Switching formula

My baby is 6 wks and I just switched him from Gerber good start soothe, to Enfamil AR. He has reflux and is also very gassy so I'm hoping the new formula and gas drops will help. He is so fussy!! Has anyone else tried this formula?

Re: Switching formula

  • I haven't, but please update. I'm only supplementing with formula, but my baby girl is so gassy :(
    I'm looking to change formula, so please let me know how your LO does with it

  • My son (nearly 3 yrs ago) was even more gassier on AR. Make sure to try it out for a week :)
  • I think each formula is different for each baby. My LO is on Gerber Good start on the recommendations from different friends that it's easier on baby's digestive system. He has gas and is sometimes fussy but doesn't seem to be overly so. I switched to all dr brown bottles, daily baby massage and gas drops and he is doing much better. But again, all babies are different. Good luck!
  • Thanks everyone! I will post an update with how it goes. So far he's just as fussy, if not worse! Last night he cried for two hours after I fed him the new formula. Not sure what's going on with him but I'll let you know if it works.
  • Gets worse before it gets better. Be careful on switching too much.
  • Yeah, I'm taking him back to the dr to see what else could be going on. He's extremely gassy and fussy after he eats.
  • I have an update! He has a dairy allergy. He's on soy formula now and he is a different baby!! It's amazing.
