Hi everyone - today I changed my LO’s formula from Enfamil gentlease to Nestle Goodstart plus. She’s in her 10th week and she took it like champ.
But however, we started noticing tiny red bumps on her cheeks, neck, hands and diaper area after two feeds. She had these tiny bump rashes even when she used to take gentlease but those used to subside in a day or two.
But now I’m a bit concerned seeing whether this is caused by the lactose in the formula? Not sure what might be causing these? Anyone has gone through this? Thanks.

My LO is on Good Start Plus as well. I also noticed a few red bumps here and there. They went away in less than a week though as his body adjusted. I would say maybe wait and see what happens in about a week? If baby is happy and not fussing then just monitor the bumps and check if they go away.

thank you so much for this. I’m a worry wart so this kinda bummed me out. I thought she is in distress because of the formula change😅

I understand the worry! I was the same and just monitored the bumps and baby’s mood along with the wet and dirty diapers. If baby is happy and peeing and pooping as usual then no need to worry. Their bodies will adjust to the new formula and eventually you should see the bumps go away.

Her body could definitely just be adjusting to the new formula. But as long as she doesn’t develop fever, or have any swelling around her eyes or mouth or vomiting, then I wouldn’t worry about it too much. But I would definitely just check with your pediatrician and make sure what they say.

I know I’m a bit late but I guess she’s doing good on the new formula. And the bumps and rashes cleared 😊 I guess it was just a matter of patience which I believe has been on low side in postpartum haha 😅

thank you and yes you are right. I kept monitoring I guess we are good 😊
