Hey everyone! My son is 8 weeks old. I recently switched his formula 3 days ago to similac alimentum from gerber good start so I can get wic. Apparently they are similar. Only similac is qualified for wic here... Now my son is not sleeping like he usually does. Do you think it is because of the switch in formula?? Thanks!
yes but with the new formula 4-5 oz might not be enough, maybe he needs just an extra oz to fill him up. We switched from regular formula to sensitive and on regular he was drinking 2-3 oz, now that we switched to sensitive he needs 4-5 oz be for he is full
He drinks 4-5 oz and he's 8 weeks it's no more than he was having before. @xoxo512070
I would think if hes waking up that frequent it may not be filling him up, sometimes when you switch its just not as filling so they might beed more
Well I might give it a couple more days and see. I miss the 4-5 hours he would sleep at a time now it's back to 2-3. Haha!
I'd call your pediatrician and ask them. I had to switch my daughter from one soy to another and had the same problem but i don't remember what they told me....it was almost 4 years ago 😅
it could be, his body may need a lil bit of time to adjust to the new and get rid of what's old. I had a similar problem with one of my boys and in fact I'm going thru it again 😕 cuz I had to switch him to an organic one cuz every other one was breaking his skin out so they are just adjusting I'd give it some time
@britdh29, its just a thought :) mine is almost 4 months now and is waking up again every couple hours so I tried 6 oz and would only drink 4 and that didnt work this time but you never know
