Anyone else using Similac Alimentum formula for their little one? My son was born early at 36 weeks and was on exclusively breast milk until 1 month of age when he started having issues tolerating it. We tried several formulas and finally the pedi put us on Alimentum. It smells AWFUL but my son takes it down and seems to be feeling better. Anyone else have experience with this? What were your results. Did it work in the long term? It is significantly more expensive but I don't care as long as it helps him feel better. He has been gaining weight great all along so I know he was nutritionally fine, but I couldn't handle him feeling so miserable! Love to hear if anyone else had good luck switching to alimentum! Thanks!

My son is on this. He had colic really bad when he was born. So we switched to this and added Gerber sooth colic drops. He's almost 4 months old and has done so well. My insurance pays for it and it's delivered to my house every month.

@haileylouisechilders, thanks! That's very reassuring. We tried Similac bc the pedi had samples! Worth it if it works!! Glad I'm not alone in the breast milk issues.

I had the same issue with my son. he couldn't tolerate the breast milk. he's on nutramagin by Enfamil. I think it's the same thing just different brands. it smells awful but he's been on it for 6 months now and he's gotten a lot better.

Really hate seeing my son struggle with this acid reflux. He just seems miserable , he’s constantly throwing up . Poor baby; at least he has an emergency appointment with the doctor tomorrow morning . So fingers crossed we can start meds and get him feeling better . He wanted to try him on a formula on top of me breastfeeding. But that didn’t seem to help . I’m scared they may say i can’t breastfeed him anymore . Cause he throws up after formula and my milk. Anyone else dealt with or dealing with this ?

Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no, his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?

So my son has recently switched formula, due to him being colicky.. the pediatrician gave us similac alimentum formula to try for a week.. this happend on Thursday, it’s now Monday he is better BUT the smell 🤢 #ohmygoshh it smells horrible & he has been spitting some milk out after each feeding... when he burbs he gags, and I don’t blame him... I hope they can give him another formula with the same affect but better smell cause I can tell he isn’t liking the smell or taste of it... he’s also eating an Oz less than he was before.. anyone experience the same thing?
