Ok I know this has been asked before...

But what formula did you use after Neosure (or other high-cal formula)?

I am thinking it's time to switch (for Blake)..... I am going to talk to the ped first but I am curious.

If it makes a difference he is spitting up more then "normal" and has been extremely gassy, to the point that he is miserable.

When we are done with neosure, we will just do a couple bottles a day of generic (probably kirkland brand). They have to follow the same stringent FDA standards, so generic is fine IMO.

I want to extend my breast milk freezer stash as long as possible.  I figure he'll be fine with generic because he is fine with neosure (which is harder on tummies than regular formula).  If he was super gassy, I'd probably try Enfamil Gentlease (which is made for gassy babies).

We used Enfacare to start with. He did better on the ready to feed than the powder (made him very gassy, but pedi wanted to keep him on the higher calorie formual for a bit longer). We then switched over to Gentlease, but DS  couldn't keep it down.  After that we switched to Similac Soy and he's been doing great on it ever since.

And for what it's worth, I like the Similac packaging way better than Enfamil.

Good luck and I hope the little guy feels better soon.

We went from Neosure to Enfamil Gentlease... it was much easier on their tummy.  We used the generic Target brand.

Ditto on the Enfamil Gentlease!  MUCH easier on LO's tummy, even better than Gerber Goodstart.  If you call Enfamil they will tell you how to make your formula higher cals per ounce since it comes 20cals per ounce.  If your ped needs it to be 22 or more, just call Enfamil and they'll tell you.

We used Enfacare.
