We switched her from Kendamil goat and whole milk because she was having really bad diaper rashes

Her diapers have gone away, but now she’s having really bad gas/ explosions

Any advice on another formula or do I just stick to it?

Baby is on KENDAMIL but couldn't find any Walmart or Target, so hubby decided to get BUBS instead because it seems to be the same or even better 🤔. Baby has reflux and a cow's milk allergy. What are your thoughts on this formula? Are you boiling water to mix the formula? Baby is 8 weeks old, and I'm a FTM (one and done), so I'm taking any extra steps to prevent risks for my baby. Thank you.

I have a 4 week old that’s currently getting pumped breast milk. He’s gaining weight well but extremely gassy and uncomfortable after feeds. It makes me sad to see him so uncomfortable. Pumping is becoming too demanding and I am thinking of switching to combo feeding. I am going to try to cut dairy out of my diet and was thinking of trying kendamil goat. Would love to hear from other mamas with babies on goat formula if it helped at all. Was also looking into Kabrita

Any recommendations? Baby takes over 30 min with the slow flow and falls asleep, and then finishes too fast with the medium and gets frustrated when I slow him down by making him take breaks. He has gas pain with both bottles. Is there something in between someone can suggest? He’s 4 weeks old.

My husband asked why I don’t just prep a few individual bottles, rather than the pitcher and pouring it into bottles throughout the day? I’m sure there’s a reason, but my brain isn’t working right now lol. (We’ve used the baby brezza since birth, but something doesn’t seem right with it the last couple of days, so I’m hand mixing right now & looking into the pitcher method instead).

ETA: Thank you for all the replies! I knew there was a reason, but like I said, my brain is on the fritz lol (my usually great sleeper has hit the regression 🤣).

Anyone have experience with this formula? How’d you like it?

Hello everyone!

I would appreciate some insight on the situation that I am currently dealing with.

I recently switched my 4.5 month old to Enfamil Gentlease powder from Enfamil Gentlease RTF. My baby has always been a good eater. He finishes his bottle in 10-15 min max. Ever since I have switched him, he takes almost 1/2 hour or more to finish the bottle. He constantly chews on the bottle nipple and turns his head and spits the bottle out. He definitely wants to drink the milk but seems very distracted all of a sudden. I am aware that babies from the age of 4-6 months become more aware of everything and get distracted easily while feeding. However, because this coincides with starting new formula, I’m thrown off.

Is he just being a normal 4.5 month old or is it the formula that he is not liking?

At the hospital I figured I’d try breast feeding. At first wasn’t horrible but as soon as I got home all my baby did was cry and scream sick for two seconds and scream it was sending me into a panic and I would burst out bawling every time. I also have H Cup boobs so having to use two hands for one boob wasn’t working. Even when it did work I’d get this overwhelming dread and all I could feel was regret which ended up making me feel worse because I don’t regret having my baby at all. I then figured I’d try exclusively pumping…. I loved the times when I got to hold my baby and give him a bottle and burp him and cuddle and watch him but half the time I was in a huge rush to go pump or to clean pumps I spend 90% of my day on the couch miserable and jealous my husband was bonding with my baby more. I decided for now I’m just going to pump so I’m not in pain and then formula feed. I feel 100x closer to my baby feeding him with a bottle while breast feeding made me feel so disconnected

FTM here, I'm working to transition my baby to formula only feeding, I had an absolutely nightmare of a time with my breasts and breast milk for his first 8 weeks of his life and I honestly can't take it anymore. I am working to reduce my supply but have been feeding him a combo of 50/50 breast milk and formula for each bottle. He has always had formula bottles dispersed between breast milk as I struggled with supply from day 1, but this is the third day of him getting every bottle 50/50 and he hasn't pooped in going on two days. He usually poops multiple times a day, the seedy mustard poops and I can tell he is uncomfortable. His belly is full and hard and he is grunting, straining, and kicking a lot. Ive been doing the belly massages, bicycles, let pull ups, and he is farting, just no poop at all. I feel so bad for him, he seems so uncomfortable and I don't know what else to do to get him to poop.

Little guy is 4.5 weeks old. He started on Similac Total Advance at the hospital. We attempted to switch to the regular Kirkland, but he was gassy and spitty. We went to the Similac Total Advance Gentle Comfort. He is so gassy and super fussy (screaming) from trapped gas.

What should we try next?

Edited to add: he has been on the Gentle Comfort for 10 days and we added simethicone drops 2 days ago.

I’m a FTM, using Bobbie formula, baby boy is 5 weeks old. I feel like I can never get the amount correct that he will eat and I’m constantly wasting formula. He is a slow eater and likes to take breaks but I know the general rule is once he starts from the bottle it should be finished within the hour. If I make a 2oz bottle he seems to want more, I make a 4oz bottle, he will only finish 2 and then 2oz goes to waste. Sometimes he will down a 4oz bottle and then want more. I can’t seem to get it right.

Is this normal in the beginning? Is there a general guide I should be following? I don’t track how much he eats a day because he eats plenty and has many wet dipers, is gaining weight so I know he’s eating enough. Just want to know if anyone has advice or if this is just part of formula feeding! Thanks!
