Formula for acid reflux, gas and colic

JTGochnour

My LO is almost 7 weeks old, and we may need to start to supplement with some formula. She has pretty bad reflux (takes Zantac for that) and bad gas.  Does anyone have any recommendations for a formula for super sensitive stomachs?  We would only need to supplement a few ounces per day in her evening bottle, other then that she is bf, so even if it's expensive, that's fine.

Thanks ladies!

I don't Think That It Matters For Reflux. But For Gassy Babies, There Is Stuff Like Similac Sensitive Or Gerber Soothe I THink.

A friend of mine used a probiotic for her son when he had similar issues.  She got capsules, broke them open and mixed half of one with some breastmilk and used a dropper to give it to her son.

Similac Alimentum worked well for my son who had gas, reflux, colic and MSPI.

We're using Alimentum, however, I think the reason it works is that it's treating the cause rather than the symptoms. Since he has the dairy/soy issue, going on this formula took care of that which took care of the colic and gas. But I'd definitely recommend trying one of the "gas and fussiness" or gerber sensitive or something like that first, because they're half the price! If something other than Alimentum works - use it. It's a pain to have to use the most expensive one...there are no generic versions of it like with the others, it only comes in the 16 ounce size so sales and deals at stores on the big tubs never include it. Best of luck - I hope you find a solution!
