My LO is 2 months old today and we started off with Similac when we first got home from the hospital than she began being colicky so we switched the Enfamil Gentlease. It helped for awhile but recently she’s been spitting up a lot like chunks. Called the pediatrician and she suggested to change to Enfamil A.R but she’s still spitting up a lot.
*I still breastfeed but don’t produce enough. She doesn’t spit up with the breast milk so I feel bad😭
Any suggestions?

Not sure if you do this but what we do is mix breastmilk with the formula. Formula can be hard on the tummy so we mix 2 oz formula with 1 oz breastmilk and it has helped with the spit up. We also use gas drops and that's helped.

I have mixed it and haven’t seen a difference, unfortunately. Do you do the gas drops before every feeding ?

@Brittney yes. We just make sure to not go over the max dosing in a day which I think is like 12 for the one we have.

I suggest looking into European brands. The US formulas have alot of crap in them. We use HIPP. It’s more money but worth knowing it’s good for her. They make a specific one for reflux issues.

I second what Ashley said, I started my LO on Similac and spit up was so nasty and so much, I have him on Bobbie and it’s been great, it’s European modeled, you can find it at Target or subscribe on the website

I’ll definitely look into this !

when you switched how did you transition?

My baby is on Nutramigen. It’s expensive but has helped a lot.

you can just switch them. It’s actually not a big deal. I was thinking you had to do it gradually or something like that but you can just switch it out and Bobby is a good choice as well!

i just switched it. The spit up was so gross that I didn’t think it was going to get worst. I was also thinking you had to gradually do it but I didn’t and he was fine! I hope you find something that works for you and your LO❤️
