Formula process of elimination..

I am currently on my 3rd attempt, at finding the best formula for my 2 month old.  I have been using Enfamil.  I first tried what the pedi sent us home with.  Enfamil infant, which made her spit up.   Then we tried enfamil gassy/fussy, which seemed to give her gas.  I am now using Enfamil AR for spitting up, and we are now experiencing constipation.  I have never seen her stools this  small and solid.  Next option would be soy, before attempting a different brand...Is it common to go through a lot of formula until you find the right one??

I think we tried 5-6 before settling on Good Start...

My LO spit up alot with Enfamil so we just switched to Similac Advanced and she does really well on it when she is not fed breastmilk. Good Luck!

I was also reading a little bit about soy, and wondering, is it important to first speak with pedi before trying soy?

I would switch brands before trying soy - it doesn't sound like she has a milk/dairy intolerance.  Try Similac Sensitive first, then talk to the pedi.

We are on the 3rd formula now. We have been on gentlease and sensitive with my LO still having gas pains and reflux issues. We are now on Soy and she is doing fabulous! Her sleeping during the day is better, practically no reflux, and hardly ever any gas pain at all. We did switch without talking to pedi because we had a huge snowstorm and they were closed and we were desperate to fix my LO from her pain. We will discuss with pedi with her appt that she has in a week. 

Soy can cause constipation though just fyi. My LO hasn't had problems with that so far.
