re: Gripe Water question

Quoting Vanessa & CJ:“ It's like $18.95 a bottle and I ordered it on a Wednesday and had it by Friday. Like I said, though, ... [snip!] ... once and I haven't since. I switched his formula to Nutramigen and it seems like that fixed all of the problems he was having.”

I try and use Nutramigen for my son also but it doesn't seem to work for him, he didn't like it and he was all fussy when i was feeding him and then on his second bottle end up vomit like a oz of it up so I switch it back to his old formula.

The very first bottle of Nutramigen that I gave CJ he pushed it it away. He would drink about an ounce and then make a face and push it away. When I tried again later with a second bottle he took it just fine. And yes, in the beginnin he was spitting up more than usual. But, Nutramigen is also thinner than other formulas. Once he had the Nutramigen in his system for about two days things were 100% better and he wasn't spitting up as much anymore. I'd give it another shot and try a little longer than you did last time.

Also, remember that it looks like they're spitting up way more than they usually are. Once the formula mixes with saliva and stomach juices and stuff it looks like tons more than it really is.
