Switching formula

My 9 week old son has a milk protein allergy. I switched from similac alimentum to elecare with no milk or soy this morning. With every burp my son spits up a lot more than he used to. Is this normal after the change? Thanks!

    Not sure if this is normal or not, but is it possible he has reflux also?

    When you switch you need to do it slowly not just all at omce so their body can get used to it

    My son is on Neocate...the other formula to Elecare.  He spits up clear sour smelling mess.  He probably has some reflux.  Jake takes Zantac from time to time.  It will take a few weeks for your LO's insides to heal from the previous formulas.  Ask about putting a small amount of cereal in his night time bottle too.  I only have to use about a 1/2 tsp for a 4oz bottle to see a difference.  Keep LO somewhat elevated when feeding.  Jake pretty much sits straight up to eat.  OH, I also have to stop him and burp him more often.  That could also be the problem.  Try burping 2-3 times.  LO may get mad about the stops, but it helps the backlash!
