Okay, we all know Ive been posting about my 1 month old having formula trouble . WEll he was on Lactofree w/ rice ceral and doing well except really fussy and eating lots constantly. WEll went to his 1 mo. check up today and I discussed this with his Dr. and he said he wanted to switch him to Soy. So he gave me samples of Isomil and well we have had our first bottle and guess what !
Projectile Vomitting and Watery Poop !
What do I do now.?.?. He is now miserable !
And wont stop crying ... Mylicon is not helping . I want my happy bouncy baby back...

Hi,

At this point I would go right to Alimentum or Nutramigen. If that fails, then to Elecare or Neocate.

Nutramegan was a miracle for our son who had numerous digestive problems. After changing to nutramegon he was a whole different child. I hope it works the same for you.
I've been there.

When i was young my mother had the same problem and she tried everything. My grandmother told her to try goats milk. It worked very well so maybe it will work for you too. I hope so. It's an old remedy but it could be the best.
Good luck,
Jackie

goat's milk is not recommended for any child under a year. it is deficient in vitamins A and D, as well as iron.

HI,

Goat's milk also lacks folic acid which can lead to anemia.
