  Have you tried mixing the bottles? Start with 25% formula, 75% breastmilk, then 50/50, 75/25, etc.

  I went from BF to Gerber good start soothe and my LO has done really well with it. No constipation issues or anything. But we could have just been lucky!

  We had to start supplementing really early on because my supply was never high enough.  Used Gerber Good Start for a couple of weeks but then she was constipated and having trouble passing gas so we switched to Enfamil Gentlease which was a night and day change!  After a few weeks on that one noticed a similar issue and switched again to Enfamil Reguline and she's been doing great on it for the past month.  I think it just comes down to trial and error to find the right mixture that's going to work for you.

  Same. We started with regular Similac, but changed to Similac Sensitive to relieve some apparent gas issues. Good luck!
