Fussy baby, formula change?
My daughter is super fussy. She sucks on her bottle a little bit and then moves her head and cries a little but still so hungry all at the same time. She’s also pretty gassy. I’m thinking of switching her formula… currently on baby’s only gentle. I can’t go to the pediatrician easily because we had to relocate and our insurance is part of a group that is not available in our new location. Waiting on January when it switches.
Anyways… has any one tried byheart, kendamil? Is goat milk formula harder to tolerate than cows milk? I’m nervous about soy milk based because it made my son very constipated… just looking for some advice/experiences?

I've heard goat is easier to digest than cows milk and closest to human milk. Kendamil goat.
Have you tried gas drops or leg exercises to help her get the gas out? My daughter has really bad gas a while ago and when i called the Pediatrician they said to give her gas drops.
yes :( I give her gas drops daily and she still screams like she’s in pain
My girl has cows milk protein allergy. Switched to a hypoallergenic formula (similac alimentum) under her pediatricians guidance and it made a huge difference once her gut adjusted (2-3 weeks)
Also - gas drops seemed to make my girl worse before they made her better…whereas gripe water seemed to soothe her
what were her symptoms?
struggling to pass gas, bloating, acidic poop from her digestive system struggling with lactose (which led to a bad diaper rash), fussy while eating
I give my lo byheart she does great on it
Your baby may have a dairy sensitivity. We switched our LO to Kendamil goat milk however, it’s harder to find since it’s constantly sold out. We ended up ordering HiPP HA 1, it’s a hypoallergenic formula. She seems to tolerate it well and stopped her gassiness too
I was considering byheart also but the recalls on it made me nervous
wat recalls??? 😳😳 omg did I miss something?? I did sooo much research on different clean formulas
they might be old recalls but I didn’t want to deal with it so I just tried to find a different option… so sorry, don’t want to scare you!
it’s ok thanks for the heads up cuz I’m about to go digging. I’m very crunchy
