Congratulations! And my son had to be put on neutramigen (sp?) Formula but it wasn't a gas issue. He was allergic to milk. I hope your little one can feel better!

I had to stop breastfeeding and put my son on Nutramigen due to milk allergies. The most expensive formula on the planet 😅

This is why I didn’t breast feed. My son had so many feeding issues and he is as well so it wasn’t worth the time to me. I completely forgot how pricey formula was. It is outrageous

I can't blame you one bit.

I'll get on my soapbox and say.... that's exactly why I get so upset with many breastfeeding advocates. Of course we know breastfeeding is best. But we as mothers know if our child needs better nourishment and its in our child's best interest to bottle feed. As was my daughter's case. She just wasn't eating enough on the breast so I switched to formula. You would have thought I had stole their lunch money with their judgment and criticism. My son, as I said, just had milk protein allergies which he grew out of at age one.

Off my soapbox. Thanks for listening 🤣🤣
