After Liam was born I breastfed and gave him Advanced Shield formula. After him screaming in pain after eating and having lots of gas issues, we tried the Similac Sensitive Formula for gassy babies. He's been great and has not problems with it.
My question. He's five months now and doesn't have problems with the night time formula (the sensitive is a lactose free so I want him exposed to milk too).... so should I try a regular formula again? Center he is going to provides formula and not sure if I should try it or not.
Anyone able to switch back after using a specialty formula?
Re: anyone try to switch from sensitive formula to regular?
I have not had luck so far......I last tried about 3 weeks ago.....but I am sure you could try it, every baby is different so you never know!
I did ask the pedi if it was bad to keep DS on sensitive formula if we didn't know for sure he was lactose sensitive or intolerant....pedi said not at all....whatever works for him just keep doing it.
We put both babies on Similac Sensitive at about 1 month bc the one was having some issues. They switched back to Similac Advanced at 3 months, when they started daycare bc that's what they provided. Right away Summer had issues again. And poor Amelia started not pooping for 4-5 days. So we switched back to Sensitive and they are fine again.
FYI, Pedi said it's fine to switch back and forth within a brand, but not across brands (Similac - Enfamil).
