anyone else with sensitive formula and constipation

We recently switched from Similac advanced to Similac sensitive and it helped with gas but seems to have caused constipation. Has this happened to anyone else's baby? Did a different brand of sensitive work better? I don't want to keep switching his formula but hate seeing him strain so much. Thanks

    We did not have good luck with Similac Sensitive. LO seemed to strain to go and went from going a few times a day to once a day and would be really fussy for hours before she finally pooped. We switched to Gerber Good Start Soothe and within a few days she was back to going a few times per day.

  • Having this same issue and I feel so bad for my LO and don't know how to help her but she had horrible gas and was in pain from te gas have a pedi appt on Friday and hope we can figure something out
  • We haven't had an issue with constipation, but we have started him on a probiotic once a day. He only poops once a day {sometimes twice} as well, but that's normal...they don't HAVE to go more than once according to what I've seen.
  • I talked to a friend and she suggested taking my LOs temp rectally of course and just twist the thermometer around a bit it will loosen things up..I was kinda sketchy about this being a FTM but DD haven't gone more than a hard little nugget in 3 days so I was desperate so needless to say I tried this trick and within 1 hour she filled her diaper and her onesie but I finally have my happy baby girl back :)
