They do not contain lactose. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends soy formulas for parents who do not want their child to eat animal protein, and for infants with galactosemia or congenital lactase deficiency. He tolerated it all well. My middle child was mostly breastfed but got formula once in a while.
We quickly found out that Enfamil and Similac made her projectile vomit, but Good Start was perfect for her. I completely agree! Individuals are individuals. Could you direct me to the references you used to support your claim that water to reconstitute PIF does not have to be boiled.
Also, even the formula companies accept that formula fed babies have more gastrointestinal disturbances then breastfed babies. If you have any concerns about your water source, I would recommend you bring water to a boil quickly minute rapid boil, then let cool. The AAP has no formal stance on this. Thank you for your reply to my questions. The guidelines you quote seem very cavalier in regard to the safety of your water supplies and the possible bacterial contamination of powdered formula.
Therefore, the only reason to boil water is to remove possible contaminants from the water itself. Depending on where you live, the water could be reliably safe straight from the tap.
My doc recomended symilac alimentum or gerber so I choose gerber and he was doing ok but then he go back to his pain and gas so we swicht to gerber soother then after 2 oz he want it to drunk but everytime that he was doing it he had a pain so I decided to givi him alimentum but tase awful and smell so I decide to mix both formula I ask my doc and he said it is ok then I see ur comment and u feel more relax jow.
I love this article. I save up on samples and coupons and formula checks to feed my little one. My son has been on the same formula for 6 months, well i have 4 cans of a different brand just sitting here, is it kk if i give it ti him? My baby is breastfed and formula as well, at his two months we have him similar advance and it work fantastic but because he was a premee the pediatrician want him on enfamil for premature babies but it was a complete nightmare, poor kid was in pain, gas and very hard time pooping.
I gave him enfamil premium and guess what, he was fine for over 3 week but now he is back to his pain and gas, so I was thinking if I could mix half of enfamil infant premium and half of enfamil gentlease? What do you think? I would like to try the formula please my baby is sensitive to certain formula so this might be good for him. My question: why do you want to do this, or what is the goal? So, if you are looking to change formula for health problems, behavioral concerns or because you want to switch from non-organic to organic baby formula or even from a European brand formula to a US made baby formula , then you will likely be able to do so successfully.
A handful of rare diseases cause babies to have too little of certain enzymes needed to digest milk-based formula. If your baby has any of these symptoms, they should be evaluated and they should be seen right away for dangerous symptoms like trouble breathing.
Just like the enzyme diseases above, only a healthcare provider can tell you which formula is best for your baby with a milk allergy or intolerance.
Infant formula can be expensive. And as infants grow, they need more formula to keep on growing, which means costs grow as well. Parents can be overwhelmed by the cost of baby formula. Generic or store brands can often be less expensive and are just as safe as brand names because all formula in the US is regulated by the FDA.
Some infants need more calories to grow and develop as expected, so a special formula may be recommended for these babies. This is often the case for premature babies. You can switch from brand name to generic brands, or change formula types, like going from dairy-based to lactose-free formula, without worry.
For example, you might safely switch from one brand of dairy-based formula to another brand. Moms often buy different brands depending on sales or coupons to help manage the cost of infant formula. While not harmful, different brands may vary slightly in taste. As a result, your baby may initially balk at the change in taste, but should adjust in no time. In some cases, it is actually better for your baby to switch formulas for health reasons. Likewise, if your baby is on a pediatrician-recommended soy-based, iron-fortified formula, switching to a different brand of soy-based, iron-fortified formula won't harm her.
But if your baby is on a special type of formula, such as a hydrolysate formula, or you're considering switching formula types, check with your pediatrician first. You may be worried that switching formulas will upset your baby's stomach, but that's unlikely. All babies have gas — a lot of gas — so gas alone doesn't mean your baby is unable to tolerate whatever kind of formula you're giving her.
Nor is it a sign of trouble if your baby's bowel habits change in other ways, such as frequency or color. If her stool suddenly becomes very firm, she may be constipated , in which case you should tell your pediatrician Don't assume the constipation is due to iron-fortified formula and switch to a low-iron formula. Studies show that iron doesn't cause constipation or any other digestive upsets.
If there's blood in your baby's stool or she's vomiting and there's blood in the vomit, call your baby's doctor as soon as possible. These are signs of a true formula intolerance. Finally, I don't recommend switching from cows' milk-based formula to a soy-based formula without consulting with your pediatrician first. If you have a conversation with your child's doctor about the pros and cons of cows' milk formula versus soy , you'll then be able to make an informed decision together.
Some parents worry that excessive gas or other bowel oddities indicate an allergy to cows' milk , but true cows' milk allergies are extremely rare.
