Serious question is there a better alternative to formula?

I’ve stopped breastfeeding but formula is causing my son eczema to act up and he is constipated a lot.

Idk what to do now. Waiting on the pediatrician to message me back but that won’t be until tomorrow and baby boy needs to poop

@rachelleclister my baby is 5 weeks and ive already went to doctor 2 times to change his formula. They gave similac advanced at first with wic then dr switched to total comfort now I'm about to try soy. I hope that this is the one.

Hopefully your doc can get a new prescription. Another idea if you have unopened formula, try swapping with a mom that has what you want

@kambam, wic only gives me similar advance though I can’t get anything else without a doctor prescription

@kambam, yes I have wic getting formula isn’t the problem.

I guess I just need something not so harsh

@rachelleclister, you don’t have to have an appointment. I’d just call the nurse again tomorrow and ask if you can come in and get sample cans of a few different formulas to try before you commit to sticking with a brand

Youre sticking to formula then, gonna be pricey regardless. You don't have wic?

@k_nc, I’d have to ask about samples I’m waiting on them to response to my message now. He doesn’t go back to the doctor until his 9 month appt

Have you looked into donor milk?

@k_nc, that’s very costly though 🤦🏽‍♀️

You might just need to try a few different formulas until you can find one that works for him
