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

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

How soon have you moms added cereal to your baby’s formula?

Opinions on formula

What formula is closest to breastmilk ? I don’t plan on breastfeeding this time so I’m wanting to find formula that is closest to breastmilk 💙

They say formula feeding is easy but there is actually a lot to know. Most do not know either. Wish people would go more into formula feeding as well. #formulafeeding
