I've recently decided to start my LG on formula, starting with a bed time bottle. It took her a few days to get used to it (had a few days of bellyache and stinky farts) but it settled after a week. As my own milk supply is easing off, I'm giving more formula, but it's still a relatively small amount, the most she will take at one time is 160ml (about 5oz) which doesn't seem much at all for a 5month old. That's not worrying me too much as she never nursed for long on the boob.
My question is, is it normal for her to throw up a lot as she's getting used to being on more formula? If it is, how long does it usually take to settle? She doesn't seem to be in pain so I don't think it's causing a reflux flare up. She had reflux when younger but that improved massively as she's gotten older.
Her poos are like a .... Camel colour with little white lumps in it - I figure the lumps are the milk powder, does that sound right?
If she stopped the throwing up I'd consider the switch a success, just wondering if it's normal or could it be an intolerance or something.... any ideas/opinions?
