Switch to gentlease = tons of spit up

Anyone have the same experience?  We switched her from Similac Advanced to Enfamil Gentlease per pedi's instructions.  How long do we give it until we go back to Similac Advanced?

Hmm...we switched DS from Enfamil Premium to Gentlease 2 days ago and he has had LESS spit-up.

Maybe its because you switched brands?  Does Similac have something like Gentlease?  Maybe that would be better? 

How did you switch?  Cold Turkey or did you do half & half for a while?  In answer to your question, I would probably give it a week, I don't think switching back and forth is a good thing.

I would let the pedi know and see what they say...

Enfamil AR has added rice starch in it which is supposed to be somewhat helpful for spit up...  maybe you could mention that to the pedi and see if you should use it.

we had tons of spit up with gentlease too, so we are on Similac Sensitive.

we switched from Similac Advanced to Enfamil Gentlease. I hated Similac it made my poor son constipated for 3 weeks! You can conrol the spit up by not giving the bottle while they cry it causes bubbles in the tummy and burp them alot
