Am I hurting Her?

[Anonymous]

My 11 week old daughter is on isomil with terrible spitting up/projectile vomitting. Should we switch formulas? She doesn’t care much for nutramigen but I’m wondering if the isomil is hurting her? She takes 1 ml zantac(3 xs daily) and 1 ml mylanta(4 times daily) but still spits up and once a day projectile vomits. I don’t know what to do for her. She digests the breast milk much easier but unfortunately I do not make enough to feed her.

Sorry you are still having trouble. I think it will change once she is on a ppi like prevacid. Also, you might go right to neocate if you suspect mspi, (gassy, mucousy stools). It is easy to digest for reflux babies too. When you switch, do it gradually. Mix the two formulas and then start adding more of the new one until you make the whole switch. Also, start adding cereal or simply thick to make it heavier. I think there is something they can give you to increase your milk production. Have you spoken to a lactation consultant?
