My SIL had to go through 3-4 different formulas with my niece (5 months) until she found one that works best for her - Gerber Soothe, I think it is. I swear all babies are different. Good luck getting Wells on formula that works for him! If you go with powder, Prince Lionheart sells a formula mixer on Amazon that is hand-held and a lot like a milk frother that really mixes out all the lumps - its wonderful.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08782224494015706679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-27203319740390712452018-10-11T20:35:55.931-05:002018-10-11T20:35:55.931-05:00My sister has the same issue with one of the twins...My sister has the same issue with one of the twins, and they both are on different formulas.

We were suspicious of silent reflux, and that formula worked really well. Once her gut matured a bit, we slowly transitioned into using Enfamil Gentlease (I think around 6-7 months) and that’s what we stayed with until we weaned off formula completely. The Alimentum does stink, but she didn’t mind it. It’s also really expensive compared to other formulas, but it was worth it to me since she did so well on it (i bought the powder on Amazon because it was cheapest that way).

Then he started hating bottles, and since nursing got better, I stopped trying to figure out the bottle thing. Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07894832851934334471noreply@blogger.com
