The recomended minimun weight for hungry baby is 12lb and normally your Lo should be older. Also its designed for babys that are draining 8 or 9oz bottles very frequently. To the point that you cantkeep up and have no where else to go but hungry baby. I found that it made kacey really constipated and didnt make her go longer between feeds. Its got no more calories init and is just thicker. Personally i wouldnt. as he is only young But obvisouly you no what is best for your LO. Talk to yoru HV 1st. Kacey was very windy at that age as well. But she also had colic so we changed to a comfort formula which helped. If you do decided to change formula to cow and gate. It may make your LO constipated to start with and you may not notice a differnce staright away. I have heard that SMA can cause the problems your LO has.
You can feed your LO more often that 4 hourly. Kacey was feeding every 3 hourly at that age and sometimes less. By 4 weeks she was regulary having 5-6oz every 3 hours.
I hope i havnt sounded to negitive for you. I feel i have ranted lol but thats not what i meant to do. xx

i used SMA but found it caused alot of constipation and trapped wind..she would struggle to get them out..i tried the hungry baby also and she got even worse..
i have now got her the aptimil comfort milk and she seems much more settled but still gets alott of wind but it does easily come out now x
