If you switched from BF to FF...

Did you notice a change in your LO?  If so, what kind of change?  BF has really been getting  me down for a while and I am considering switching soon.

Thanks!

    I have not switched but I went from only BF to supplementing with formula now that I am back at work. She doesn't get formula often, at the most one bottle a day, but I have not seen any changes in her.

    I guess the biggest change was that he started to STTN after we switched him to formula. I BF for the first three months, and he was waking up every 3 hours to eat. Since FF he sleeps about 7 hours.

     Do you think it was the formula or the end of the rapid growth stage of life?

    To be honest, the only change I saw right away was their poop.  It smells pretty bad on formula.  James spit up a lot more, but then I switched him to Similac Sensitive from the Infant advanced and it made a world of difference.  To keep the boys from getting constipated, I give them a 1/2 teaspoon of Mylanta 3 times a day and it helps a ton.  It didn't change their demeanor at all.

    Oh, and to back up Dan&Maggie, formula stays in their tummy longer, so they tend to sleep longer through the night.

    We haven't made the switch completely, but I've found that he's just more gassy with formula. I switched brands and that seems to help! :)
