So I’ve decided to switch from breast milk to formula for a week. 😩😭 I’m pretty upset about it but I need to know if my milk is the reason behind his gassiness. Ive stopped drinking milk and switched to lactaid, doesn’t help. Grip water, doesn’t help. Mylicon, doesn’t help. I pumped until I got both the Foremilk and hind-milk out Incase there was an imbalance, doesn’t help. I’m running out of ideas and the only thing I can think of is to try enfamil gentlease for a week and see if it helps. If not, I’ll try another formula. Til then, Im just going to continue pumping and storing my milk until I ca figure out if it’s really me or not. Feel free to give formula recommendations that has works well for you!

@mortonmining, will do! Same to you please. If you find anything out, let me know.
Right, I wasn’t sure if it was spit or throw up either because it’s a lot to just be spit up! And also yes it seems like it’s comforting, it’s how I can put him to sleep at night without him freaking out! Let me know what you find out because I’d like to know if it’s normal or if it’s something of concern because we are in the same situations with our babies.
@leahcook, Thanks for the info! I’ll definitely ask her tomorrow!!
@mortonmining, same thing!! He chokes and spits up a lot of his food. Sometimes I wonder if it’s him throwing up. And sometimes when he is going through it, he continuously eats. It’s like it comforts him. It’s the only thing that stops him from crying 😩
I just read that you’re seeing a LC this week. Have her check. That is who discovered my son’s ties. We got them lasered and the gas was gone. My pediatrician wanted to prescribe Zantac for gas and reflux but those symptoms were from the ties.
Also- young babies are just gassy unfortunately. Pump your little one’s legs throughout the day and allow for lots of tummy time.
Good luck mama!
My baby does the same things your explaining and their around the same age, I thought it was normal? I get worried because baby will like spit up the milk as he feeds as well and then chokes on it! 😱. And then throws a bunch of it up.... 😢 it’s so hard to know what’s normal and what’s not..
Please check for a tongue or lip tie! Don’t switch just yet! Look online to see what you’re looking for in his mouth. My son had gas and I couldn’t figure it out. I thought it was my diet and nothing changed. Nursing seemed to be going well but he was getting in air bc of his ties. Most pediatricians don’t look and aren’t trained specifically to look for ties. Look on your own and or go to a specialist. Seriously! Breast milk is better for your baby and formula causes even more gas sometimes
@kambam, I’m just tired of him hurting! 😩 Sometimes he’ll cry in the middle of being fed.
🙁🙁 im sorry, I know its hard. Im glad youre seeing a LC though. I would continue to bf until then. So your supply stays up and baby is fed. Just know that babies can be pretty gassy until 3m or more. Theyre still developing their digestive tracts and all.
@kambam, great! 🙄😔 Well I’ll be seeing a lactation consultant Thursday. Hopefully she’ll point me in the right direction
Not judging at all but switching to formula from bm can be highly irritating and will take anywhere from 2-3w to adjust with your baby
My breast are heavy and full with milk but when I squeeze nothing comes out and when I try to pump nothing is pumped into the breast pump its like I have milk but its stuck and wont come out...any tips or help on this.. i really would like to breastfeed my daughter....
Is soy formula milk better than enfamil formula (cows milk)?
Im trying to be vegetarian and dont want my 3 month old drinking cows milk anymore. Would it be okay to switch??
When can I start giving my son regular milk? He turns 10 months in 2 days. I bought unsweetened almond milk yesterday so he can try. Would that be okay? I’m lowkey tired of him on formula but I mean he’s still a baby lol.
Opinions! I’m pregnant with my ex boyfriends third child it is our second together. Our daughter is 3, we split up a week before I found out I was pregnant. He doesn’t want to fix things. And I’ve been trying to sorta ask him to come home but found out some news that completely broke my heart. I sorta started to talk to someone that doesn’t live in my state but works around my area sometimes.. we spent some time together while he was here and he will be back in 3 weeks.. am I doing something wro...
I know what I was meaning to ask y'all . Is it true that at the age of one your baby would have to switch to sippy cups because of their teeth rotting out?
The nurse told me I would have to stop Carmen from drinking out of bottles since she's has been switched to whole milk because it will start rotting out her teeth.🤔 Help me understand because either way wouldn't the whole milk still be in her mouth unless you brush her teeth ?
I will! 🙂 @dani_k,
