Could it really have just been the formula??!!

camdensmom32 · October 2013

As you all know I've been having issues with Camden being super fussy and crabby. I contacted his pedi's office this week because I just couldn't stand it anymore and would not accept that my son was just this way. He went for a swallow scan yesterday to check for reflux but he doesn't have that. He also got switched to soy formula for a possible milk intolerance. He has been on the soy formula for almost 2 full days now and today he has been such a different kid!! He has been happy and easy going. Could it have been that simple and all along that was his problem??!! The pedi said to give it a full 2 weeks on the soy formula. Just wanted to share!!

I'm glad you got it figured out! My LO was so upset when I tried to switch to up&up brand formula vs similac. It's crazy what a different it can make to them

We are on soy too when LO was a newborn she was so cranky we were on gerber good start and someone suggested switch up her formula and we went through like 3 and we found soy! Saved my sanity! For a while we were on similac sensitive but soy is much better for her

Let's hope that it's just the formula! When DS was 4 weeks old he was put in the hospital because he kept throwing up. Our pediatrician switched us to Nutramigen (milk intolerance formula) and since then, he's been great! We have tried incorporating other formulas back in to no avail. GL and I hope it's the answer!

Great news! My mom has told similar stories about my sister. Any dairy and she would get very sick, but fine with soy. Hope the improvement continues for you!

Yep...we had the same story...we switched to Nutramigen first and it was like we had a whole new baby...and a better one! we have recently switched to soy and things are still good.

Very possible! My LO was super crabby when I was EBF and was drinking lots of milk. When I gave up dairy he turned into a different kid. Then we started on similac soy and he's been a happy baby ever since. Good luck and I hope the streak continues!

Yep, I'd believe it. DD was like this and our doctor kept saying it was just the way she was. After trying the probiotics etc he kept offering and nothing working, I finally just went with my gut and switched her formula to a different brand. It was like night and day. No problems ever since!
