Question for my FF mamas....

I have a WWYD question for my FF mamas. Eden started out on Similac Advance & was doing fine. but because of costs i wanted to try Up & Up (Target) version of Similac. She did great on that (actually better than regular similac...less gas & more frequent poops)& that's what she's been on since she was probably a month old. Well in the past few days I've been given at least 4 large containers of Similac Advance. Sooo I thought I'd test limits & see if I could mix the 2 (so that I wouldn't have to buy formula for a while). I thought maybe if I mixed it, the Up & Up would never fully leave her system.

Anyway, It's only been a few days but since she's been on mixed milk she's had these MAJOR poops (blowouts up the back & the front). And she's been spitting up more. Not whole bottles (only once or twice), usually just a little dribble. Not sure if this is just usual "baby behavior" (i mean, poop & spitting up are two things on their resumes) But I'm trying to give it a couple more days to see if things calm down, but I also don't want to further mess things up just because I'm trying to cut costs. Sooooo do you think I should just donate the similac & just go back to Up & Up and leave well enough alone?

Donate it! Switching like that only makes things worse! If ain't broke don't fix it. The trouble it causes in their systems just isn't worth saving a few bucks unless you have no choice.

Like an idiot I switched dd 3x before 1 month! Trust me lesson learned! She was a lil experiment there for a bit , my poor baby. So who has two thumbs and is a bad mom? This guy!!
