I just wanted to add that she has never stopped drinking a bottle (or refused one) on her own. We are assuming that 5 oz is a good amount for her but honestly, I think that if the bottle had more in it she would just keep drinking. Can she be overeating and making herself uncomfortable? When our oldest had enough she would turn away and close her mouth tight. I have never seen Harley do this! She only closes her mouth if we try to offer her the soother and she doesn't want it! LOL!

Hi,

She could be overeating and spitting up the extra but I would still feed her enough to make sure she seems full.

Did you have any thoughts on the bowel movements?

HOw long since you changed the formula Tanya? I would give it 3 weeks if you haven't already. One other thing to check is the concentration and make sure you are mixing it correctly.

The other this is...if it's not making much of a difference for her on the LF formula...you could try the Enfalac/Enfamil AR stuff. THat's specially formulated for reflux babies.

Well, the spitting up is sooo much better now. We have had her switched for two weeks now. This morning she pooped and it was softer again so maybe it will get better.
I've thought of doing the added rice cereal but wanted to give this one a chance as the spitting up reduced so much with it. Thanks Kat!
