Formula! Ugh, he started out on similac pro advance, and he did really good. No fussing, no issues, a calm happy baby. Unfortunately with me out of work we had to apply for wic and they switched him to gerber gentle. It didn’t work for him, it started out with uncontrollable crying back arching, gagging, he burps well and gas drops weren’t helping. So the doctor put him on alimentum, well he was spitting that up horribly so bad it was coming out of his nose. Now I went and bought similac pro sensitive, and it seems to be doing okay but wic won’t support it. And they won’t even change his formula until the doctor writes something because they had to write a prescription for the alimentum, and he doesn’t see his doctor until Wednesday. I’m so stressed, I just want my baby back happy.

Call your doctor and tell them it's not working and you need a RX for the one that does.

I’m using enfamil gentle ease. My babygirl had so much trouble for her first two months of life projectile vomiting all day this is the only thing that’s helped

I would contact the doctor like @scidg3, mentioned also this happened with my daughter we switched to nutramigen, it turns out she has a milk allergy and reflux as well. Goodluck to you and your baby hope he feels better soon!

This is exactly what happened with my now 1 year old. Walmart has parents choice sensitive formula Which is the same as similac sensitive. I dropped wic all together and used parents choice. A 2lb container is only $20 and if you order in bulk online you can get a 4 pack of the 2lb containers for 70.

My wic office wouldnt give me sensitive even with the doctors perscription because it wasnt on the list they gave me. Which is why i didnt even bother fighting and switched to the parents choice and my dd did great on it and we never had any issues

That how my wic works. Mine supports similac but if i needed something different the would have to be by a dr. Similac is good with my baby girl. One time it was emfamil.

My baby couldn't handle Gerber Gentle but she did better with Gerber Smooth. We were on WIC
