I recently switched to formula and I'm curious... how much and how often do you feed you LO? What kind of formula are you using? My DS is about 12 lbs and eats 4 ounces every 3-4 hours.
I usually feed her every 3-3.30 hours. She takes about 3 ounces every time, with a bit more at night. She's 5 weeks and about 6.5 lbs. I had Similac Organic but it seemed to be really tough on her tummy. I talked to her pediatrician that said that the organic version usually has an ingredient that's tough on tummies so I switched to Similac Sensitive Tummies and she seems to like that better. They don't recommend switching formulas unless you experience an issue.
Garret is eating 3 oz every 3-4 hours during the day an a little longer in between during the night. Sometimes he might eat 4oz. He eats parents choice soy while we are on a budget.
Whitney eats 3-4oz every 3-4 hours and she is 4 weeks and about 10lbs. Occasionally I can get her to stretch to 4-5 hours at night but its still about every 3 hours. We are using similac for discomfort because she was really constipated in the beginning. Or the target brand equivilant
DS eats about 3 oz every 3-4 hours, he was 8lbs 7oz last week when he had a dr appt. he eats Enfamil Newborn, because we had samples here when I quit breastfeeding, I wanted to test I out a formula on his tummy before I bought any, it went well so he'll be on that for now. I'll discuss it with his dr before we switch to Enfamil Infant.

He's eating 3oz every 3 hrs, spitting most of it up. He's on Elecare right now which is a Rx, but before we got the Rx we tried enfamil newborn and gentlease, Similac sensitive and alimentum, and Gerber gentle and soothe. I thought he handled gerber soothe the best. Don't get alimentum if you don't have to, it smells like dog food.
We use Enfamil AR because she has reflux. She eats about 3 oz each time, every 3 hours
We are using similac spit up.. Which is the equivalent to enfamil AR. He is doing fine, but I am thinking about switching to enfamil ar because there are more premade options for when we are on the go
