My doctor recommended that my son switches to Enfamil spit up formula, I’m a bit sceptical about it because it’s not probiotic and it’s not non-GMO like the Nestlé good start is, what do you mamas think?
Up to you to decide mama. All babies have a different preference for formula. You can add your own probiotics to any bottle though.
I know he’s been on this formula for 3 months he spits up quite a lot so I thought the change could help, but without probiotics I don’t know if it’s ok
Im a big believer of probiotics but the probiotics also have to be good or its kinda pointless. It can be normal to spit up a good amount as well though. If youre following proper bottle feeding and keeping him upright, may just be spitty until around 4m. My son spit up a lot and was breastfed. Did it until 4ish months.
I started out using enfamil but found it made my son more gassy, constipated and he always seemed unsatisfied. When I switched to good start it was a complete turnaround for him and a huge improvement.
Good start also makes probiotic drops that you could add to the enfamil formula as well, as a compromise
@sms123 yes. The Nestle was by far better for him than the enfamil
my son has been on it for three months now but because he always spits up even when he’s on medication for it so my doctor recommended enfamil spit up formula but I’ve read that it causes constipation and I’m not sure that will happen to my little one..
give the enfamil a try and you can always add a probiotic droplet to the formula is you are concerned about the constipation. Every child is different so even though the enfamil didnt work for us I know a ton of people who used it with plenty of success. Hope you find something that works for you!
Honestly you could always look for a secondary organic spit up formula replacement
Also too much probiotics too long can be bad for immunity depending on Type I’ve seen some people get sick bad so idk about probiotics but usually it was adults

There’s also this below enfamil https://similac.com/baby-formula/similac-reduce-spit-up
“Scientists have shown that in some cases switching a baby to a hypoallergenic formula can really help manage the acid reflux symptoms”
@sms123, it’s even made gluten allergies and so on and started killing butterflies too.
@sms123, tbh we never had all these additives if you think about it but they keep playing and making new dangers or issues in our society
I started with good start when I started both my kids on formula. I ended up switching to emfamil and it sat way better with both of them. But it stains though! That’s the only thing I didn’t like about it.
