DD was on similac sensitive then we switched to soy due to constipation (like one rock hard marble shaped bowel movement every four days) and gassy screaming fits. She always threw up her soy formula and cried all the time from, I'm guessing, hunger. So I put her little ass on alimentum because of some good things I'd heard about it.
She poops now, she spits up every so often but doesn't puke. She doesn't have screaming-farting episodes. She sleeps well at night and doesn't need comforting for an hour after eating.
The problem came when trying to get a script for WIC. I put her on Alimentum without my doc's suggestion. Doc doesn't want to do the alimentum though, she wants to put her on Good start instead, or soy, as not to "give" DD a lactose intolerance. She wants to see if she can get used to the milk, I guess.
Is this the general way of things? I feel like we found something that works and we have to go backwards. I'm about to go back to working 10-12 hour days and I'm really not looking forward to nighttime feeds where she's screaming and/or throwing up ):
when it got bad with my daughter and i got sick of trying every formula out there i started making up symptoms until the doctor decided to put her on nutrimagen which is also covered under WIC. once she hit a year i put her on lactaid milk (dont need a dr note for WIC ) and now that she is 18m i am slowly introducing regular milk again.
