Wow, I really went through all of this (plus like 10 more) to find the right formula for Madi🤦🏽 ♀ So…

😔 Poor baby! Once I stopped breastfeeding I had a hard time finding the right formula too. She ended up drinking similac sensitive.

Least four are samples so free lol which formula did you end up doing with I’m struggling with my son now he has reflux 😫

@yestatipa, madi liked that one too actually but it made her SO constipated

@annarizzo123, we ended up with regular enfamil infant lol so bizarre cuz it’s the most standard basic formula. My daughter had reflux too. He will grow out of it!

@jtaylorg, yeah that’s what I ended up on I tried sensitive and he threw up more I do a scoop of rice I. His bottles and he throws up less. He he’s on zantec now

Wow, that's a lot of of formula

@yestatipa if you have more kids and breastfeeding then go to formula start them on the formula that's meant for supplementation for breastfeeding infants. That helps their tummies get used to it. Now there is a new enfamil that is called Enfamil Nueropro that's super close to breastmilk

@tashamagolan, yeah. well I was never able to breastfeed her so she was on neosure in the hospital. She was 7 weeks early and that’s what they gave her in the NICU. they never let me breastfeed

@jtaylorg I'm sorry to hear that. our 18 month old was a nicu baby and she was on enfacare. but they had me pump breastmilk for her and put her on the breast a few times. She only spent 2 weeks 3 days in Nicu

I forgot to add that she eventually switched over to the Gerber gentle formula after 5 or 6 months on enfacare and had no issues with it. We had to do the Gerber because that's what WIC covers unless the doc gives a prescription for a different brand of formula like we had for the enfacare.

@annarizzo123 the rice works? we tried it at the hospital when they decided he had reflux, but he wouldn't drink it. I've been thinking of trying again.

@xoamby, I started off with small amounts and worked my way up it helps a lot not with pain but puking out the nose mylanta and Zantac help also

@jtaylorg my sons drinks the alimentum.. Did you success with any other formula with the reflux?

@annarizzo123 he's on zantac too, seemed to help at first but i'm having a really hard time with him now. he doesn't puke so much, but does the whole arching back & head turning thing.

@xoamby, my son holds his breath it’s so scary he flails his arms I’m paranoid I won’t wake up when he does it

@annarizzo123 that's how i found out my son had reflux. woke up in the middle of the night to feed him, he ate & burped.. We were going back to bed & i looked down, he was purple. It's called periodic breathing.. So he holds his breath & i literally freak out everytime he does it.

@annarizzo123 my sons on Alimentum if you haven't tried that.

@xoamby, I do too omg I have. Like ptsd now and can’t sleep poor babies

@xoamby, I have not yet I think they wanna test his poop

@annarizzo123 hope your baby gets some relief soon.

@xoamby, thank you me too

@annarizzo123 oh, how much mylanta do you give him?

@xoamby, my son is 11.5 lbs six weeks old and he gets 2.5 ml

@jtaylorg sorry for blowing up your post!
