Babies: 3 - 6 Months

if you switched to similac sensitive

We switched Lucas from Enfamil Premium to Sim Sensitive on Sunday afternoon. He didn't poop at all Monday, and all yesterday the poor kid was super constipated. Crying while he was trying to push something out, turning red, the whole nine yards. He finally pooped at night, started out really hard and I had to push his legs to his chest to help him get the rest out and it eventually got softer. He pooped normally this morning- yay! So my question is- did your baby stay constipated on the sensitive, or just from the switch? I can't stand seeing him in pain like that, so I'll have to reevaluate with this pedi if it something that will keep happening.

Re: if you switched to similac sensitive

  • DS is on a mix of Sensitive and BM, and he's never been constipated except for a few days after the 4mos shots. It could be your LO's body just adjusting to the change; it can take up to a week for their systems to completely adapt with formula changes (learned from trying Sim Advance and Enfamil Gentlease before Sim Sensitive).

  • R got those same symptoms when he was on Enfamil.  he is now on Similac Sensitive and almost always has normal poops.  His little tummy doesn't seem to tolerate anything other than Similac Sensitive

  • C switched from Enfamil Premium Infant to Similac Sensitive for Spit-Up. She was having 2-3 dirty diapers a day, and went down to one, and sometimes every other day. She does not seem to be uncomfortable though.
  • I have the worlds gassiest baby. She is on Sensitive but anything else makes it 10x worse.

  • We BF and suppliment. We orignially tried Similac Neosure because DD was a preemie, but it made her EXTREMELY gassy and she didn't poop for 4 days. Then we switched over to Similac Sensitve and haven't had a problem since. Less gas + poop = much happier baby.
