I started with Similac Advance and she didn't see to get better or worse on it. Same with Similac Sensitive. Then i went to Enfamil gentlease yesterday she seems sooo uncomfortable today and i feel super bad for her. Also she won't drink all 4oz of it but when I give her like 6oz of pumped breastmilk, she gobbles it all down! I dont know if its formula related. Ive been giving her mylicone (spelling) drops too. I have the Enfamil Prosobee that I haven't opened yet as I've got cans of the other stuff just sitting around, not being used. Should I try the soy formula? DH's entire family, including him is lactose-intolerant and I am wondering if the same goes for her.
Oh and I am using Playtex drop ins for her bottles!

HELP! What should I do??? She just went through a growth spurt last night/this morning!

We stuck with the allimentum and it worked great for our daughter! I will admit that I'm happy to be finished with formula and she's now taking whole milk :)

OK I admit I rushed to answer and didnt read your whole thing...Ok we also was going to try soybee but our doc said he recomend not to because of the high estrogin levels in soy and it probably wasnt an allergy but the milk protien thing...Becarefull switching to often cause that can cause issues just do it gradullay but as for the gentlease we stopped it right away because of the extream pain it caused our little guy...Nutramagin is expensive but worked great for us!

i ended up using http://similac.ca/en/products/alimentum/ with out daughter because she was a very gassy baby and this is a hypoallergenic formula. Our daughter was lactose intolerant, colicky and very gassy and this worked amazingly for us. yes its a lot more expensive but it was well worth it because she was finally happy! good luck!!!
