Poor Boy. I need formula advice please?

[Mabythistime]

Its about bottom winds.

I had to change LO's daytime forumula. He has two to three formula bottles at daycare and one expressed bottle. Rest of the time he is BF.

His general pattern is waking for feeds at 12, 2 and 4 am. But it is awake, feed and sleep immediately.

Last night he was moaning a lot and just awake all night (so was I). Seem to relax when I rubbed his back and tummy. This morning, when I changed his nappy, he sounded like a baloon! Loads of winds coming out of his bottom. He must have been so uncomfortable. I spent some extra time lifthing his knees etc to get as much wind out as possible.

Its only been 2 days on his new formula (cannot find the old one anywhere anymore). The old one was a Hypo Allergic formula and the new one is S26 Gold?

Does the windyness go away by itself after a while when his body gets use to the new formula? I did not notice this when he started his previous formula? Is it normal or must I try a different formula? I am going to add colic and wind drops to his formula bottles tomorrow and give him some straight up tonight to see if it will help?

Yea this can happen, this was happening to my daughter when i was topping her up with formula. Midwife asked if i was eating alot of fruit and veg which i was. i cut out all fruit and veg and she was fine (it was only few weeks later after i didn need to top up anymore that i realised it was the formula) My daughter was having lots of pains with the wind tho. it will take at least 1 week for his body to get used to change in formula

my lo was always farting (and still does, but less noisy!?!) - our bedroom is now called the cabbage cavern as it smells like it when we go through at night

it took him a while to get used with the formula (sma gold) i'm sure but we were using avent bottles at first and could hear the air in the bottles and his tummy. we switched to dr brown's bottles at 3 months and it has made the world of difference. he is much more settled and happier after a feed.

it is so frustrating going through all the learning curves of what our babies are needing - one night at about 8 weeks i spent 3 hours, from 1am til 4am trying to figure out what was wrong and it was trapped wind, poor little man was only happy when i changed his nappy and his legs up in the air helped things move along...
