Bringing feed back up.. Do I change formula?

hawalkden · Mar 19th, 2012, 03:52 AM

Isaac is 18 weeks now and hes on 6-7oz stage 2 hungery baby cow & gate milk and over last three weeks hes been bringing back half his feed back up. Hes been very gassy & has been given colic drops from
Doc and since being on that hes been worse but the colic has stopped.
So dont know what to do..

What do you guys suggest?!

He also when been sick doesnt feel hungry till the usual 4-5hours later. So its not affecting him much but i know its not a good sign?!

Oh weve tried baby rice and hes not kean doesnt understand to swollow it and just gets it everywhere :/ x

Is he on the hungry baby formula for any particular reason? If not then maybe try Cow and Gate first milk as it will be easier for him to digest and kinder on his tummy xxx

Sounds like he can't handle the amount of formula he's getting so wss - try number 1 x

What made you switch to hungry baby milk? I agree with the other ladies it sounds like over feeding, I would go back to the first milk hun. x

How long does he go after before a feed after he has been sick? x

Either duribg a burp mid feed or 10-15 mins after and we keep him propped up no playing or movement so give him less chance od being sick but still 4 out the 6 feeds he has a day hell be sick :/ x

Does he seem hungry after he has been sick? Maybe try reducing the amount you give him and see if that works. Have you talked to your HV about it? She maybe able t suggest something to help x

I would still switch back. Sounds like your hv gave you some duff advice tbh hun. Hungry baby milk is for babies who are hungry but not yet ready for weaning. Maybe he was hungry back then due to a growth spurt but that may not apply right now.
