We recently started supplementing DS while I am at school with Similac Sensitive. DH says whenever he makes it, it completely foams up filling the empty space in the bottle.

Is this normal? I thought the point of preventing gas and tummy pain was by eliminating air and bubbles? Did I buy a bad batch?

I use Enfamil Gentlease and it does the same thing. I just assumed that all formula does that because you're shaking it so much.

I use Similac Advance and it does the same thing. Letting it sit for awhile helps. I nurse K first sometimes and usually by the time I'm done doing that the bottle has settled. About 10-15 minutes.

I use it and the formula does the same thing...After I shake it, I stir it with a knife, andit seems to get less foamy....

We don't shake the bottle, we swirl it around to mix. It decreases the foam a lot.

It always does that. The best way we have figure out to stop it is to make all DD's bottles at the beginning of the day or the night before using a large liquid measuring cup and a hand mixer. it still foams, but not as much. We pour the bottle to where the liquid is as the level of ounces desired and the the foam only makes it just a tad more. Even when we just shake 'em, DD doen't have a problem with gas, and we use regular bottles.
