Formula

[Anonymous]

My daughter was born 10/21/09 and breastfed for the first two weeks and then was on formula due to lack of milk production. She developed the gas, spitting up after every feeding,colic and screaming with spit ups around week 3. I dealt with the constant crying and misery until week 6 then called and took her into the ped. They put her on .8ml of zantac and it helped initially but now she is starting to cry again during feedings and after spit ups. The ped also took her off soy and put her on gentle ease which is milk based. I have recently been told that dairy worsens reflux and I should put her on a different formula. Does anyone have any suggestions besides nutramigen-which is also milk based?

Thank you

the key to all of this is research so that you can be the best advocate for your baby…

I’m not sure how you can tell if it’s a protein issue (milk soy protein intolerance/allergy is MSPI) along w/ reflux or ‘just’ reflux…MSPI exacerbates reflux…
this is the best explanation about MSPI and it’s relation to reflux- read post 2 and see if it helps explain things…https://www.infantreflux.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2697&PN=2

as for colic, read this to see the relation b/t colic & reflux:
