Formula Opinion needed

My first LO started off on regular formula but we had to switch to sensitive.  Do you think I should just start off with sensitive with my next LO?

Yes, I would. Our pediatrician told me that siblings will most likely follow suit as far as sensitive tummies, so I'd go with what worked for your first.

Good question. I was wondering the same.

My dd2 had exact same issues as dd1--so I would say yes you might want to. Both my girls had colic, acid reflux and milk protein intolerance.

Thank you for asking this! I'm hoping to BF, but will have some FF as back up (we didn't have any for back up last time and DD's EFF).

DS had to use Enfamil AR. DD had to use Enfamily Prosobee (soy). She's is okay with dairy now.

I don't see why not, especially for the first few months.

My DD needed sensitive formula for the first 2 months or so, then we switched to regular.

Her tummy issues were nothing like my first child's though.

I asked our pedi about this last Thursday at DS 9 month check up. DS has been on Isomil Soy since about 3 weeks old. Our pedi said it wouldn't hurt to just start DS# 2 on it as well. I plan on pumping and supplementing with formula, so I will have to cut the dairy out of my diet 2 weeks before my EDD to help.

We are going to start LO#2 on the Enfamil Gentlease that DS is on.  The Ped said it was fine since problems tend to run the same in siblings.

That's what we did. DD had a lot of trouble with regular formula so we moved her to hypoallergenic at 4 months old, and she did a bit better. We did the hypoallergenic formula for DS from day 1, and he's eaten GREAT. I will also go with hypoallergenic for #3.
