Gassy formula fed baby

Handree

Visiting from July!

Has anyone else dealt with an extremely gassy LO? He's formula fed and so far we have tried Gentlease, Similac sensitive, and soy. Soy made him terribly constipated but helped with the gas. We have also tried gas drops. Poor little guy is miserable and I'm out of ideas. Any suggestions?

So many threads on this.. Search button you will find a lot of info, but none should replace the advice from your peds. Formula will make baby gassy, and switching formulas a lot will make it much worse.. You should wait 3 weeks before switch with the advice from your peds, soy should be a very last resort and mostly not advised. Your LO needs at least 3 weeks to adjust to a switch as it's very hard on their system. Again, please speak to your peds, and not rely on answers here for the health of your baby. Good luck

There is a formula mama's thread I'll bump and tag you in. Its been a little bit since we've used it, I think by now we've all mostly ironed out the wrinkles in our formula situations, but that wasn't always the case.

Well I give my son chamomile tea. It really helps him. And I know we not supposed to give anything but formula but my grandmother and mom used to give to all other children n we turned out just fine. An ounce is do not over do.

Gripe water is also an option
