Gerber Soothe Formula

Anyone else feed this to their LO? DS at 10.5 weeks still does NOT give more than a 4 hr stretch at night. Wondering if the formula just doesn't fill him up since it's partially digested..? I know I'm grasping at straws here but I'm freakin exhausted. He eats every 3 hours during the day sometimes less and 5 oz each feed. Total of 35 oz and Ped told me not to exceed 36! Any thoughts on the formula? Thanks

    The main ingredient is Corn maltodextrin which goes thru the digestive system very fast. My babies have issues with pooping and instead of switching formulas pediatrician said to put a teaspoon of prune juice 2x a day in bottles of regular Similac advance. I was worried about the sugar in prune juice so I do 1/2 teaspoon once a day and they are pooping just fine now. I guess it depends on why you are on that formula. It's so hard to figure these babies out sometimes. I had issues with projectile vomiting in the beginning and was told to use similac soy but instead I switched to a different type of bottle and that fixed the issue.

    Ok thanks everyone. Switched from Similac sensitive since he had a lot of gas. He poops fine on Gerber soothe and seems less gassy. I was just wondering if his inability to give a long stretch at night was perhaps related to the formula, but sounds like it's probably not and I just have a baby that likes to eat all the time :-) Maybe when he starts eating pizza for dinner he'll sleep through the night!
