Formula WWYD?

MrsRebz2Be

I switched my son from ebf to ff when he was 5mo. I went back to work and couldn't keep up with his demand. Anyway, my normally happy and STTN baby was super cranky and fussy and waking up in the middle of the night screaming for about a week after I switched him to formula... I called the pedi and they said to try the gentle formula . We switched that night and in a couple days he seemed to be feeling back to his normal self. Now I have like 2 unused tubs of regular formula. I don't want it to go to waste so I've been thinking about trying him back on the regular.. I'm hoping he just didn't like the adjustment from breast milk to formula and now that he's been on formula for a little bit the regular stuff won't be a problem. WWYD?

Sleep is VERY important to me (as well as a happy baby).  I say if you have figured out what works, then don't mess with it.  Donate the formula to a womens shelter or something.

I would give him any of the unused formula. Donate it or find someone who uses that brand.

My son has been FF since birth.  If you have one that works, I would not screw with that.  It can take a week or two to re-regulate. 

When I've had kinds I couldn't use given to me, I've just posted on Facebook and someone always snatches it up almost immediately!

This. You will always find someone who could really use formula.

My son drinks Gerber Good Start Gentle but there was a recall on that kind so none of the stores where we live had the gentle so I ad to buy the regular kind. He's been doing just fine with it. Though he is used to all kinds of foods now.

Either way, you could always go to the Swap board & see if you could swap it out for the kind you do use.

you can take them back to the store you bought them they will take them open i had to do that with my son and i exchanged them for what he was going to be using,
