Switch to soy??

MommyTeacher

One of my twins continues to spit up a TON!!  We tried the Similac Allimentum and that didn't do the trick so I was considering switching to soy.

 My thoughts are that since he does not spit up real food that it must be the formula-right??  Dr says it's no big deal since he is a happy spitter but there has got to be an explanation right??

 So what do you guys think?? Worth a try??

My twins were having the same problem and we tried the Alimentum, which didn't help us either.  We switched to Similac Sensitive for Spit-Up and it has worked fantastically! Hope this helps!

I'd try it.  Good luck!

A lot of soy and sensitive formulas have corn syrup as the first ingredient,  Good Start doesn't.  I would not give my baby anything but Good Start or Organic,  if she couldn't take the cow's milk-based formula.

If you are going to switch to soy please tell your pedi. that you are doing so.?

Why?  Not that I wouldn't but but what makes you say this??

I think she's saying that because they like to document the changes in case anything "comes up." That being said, if the spit up isn't massive and doesn't bother her, I really wouldn't worry about it. Most babies spit up, some after every bottle, it's not terribly unusual and not worth a change that could potentially cause more issues. Case in point: my LO has an MSPI but we got the go ahead to try soy this past week. Yeah. MAJOR FAIL. It caused him to get so constipated that he bled. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
