Suggestion for Infant Formula That Creates Less Gas

Hello: I am hoping that one of you might be able to point me in the right direction. I am looking for a formula that creates less gas for my 2 week old son. We are currently using Enfamil lipil with iron, but it seems to create quite a bit of gas for him and it is so hard for me to watch him in such pain. Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, A.

Similac Alimentum Vs. Enfamil Nutramigen

Hi moms! I'm back again. My sweet boy is 12 weeks old and while this is NOT what I want to do, I'm beginning to feel its in my babe's best chance at happiness:-) I've given up just about every major food allergy/sensitivity in my diet and still no happy baby with breastfeeding. He has both reflux and colic and I'm at the end of the rope I believe. So based on some basic research the 2 formulas most recommended are the Similac Alimentum & Enfamil Nutramigen. Any suggestions or experience with either of these? Thank you so much!!

Dog Eating Cat Poop. Help Gross!

We have a 7 month old puppy who is very well behaved. My problem with her is she is a cat poop eater. I have never had a dog who eats cat poop. Is something wrong with her? Will she grow out of it? Anyway to stop her from this gross habit. She gets into the cats litterbox and then I find a litter trail throughout the house (gross) but she also finds the cat poop outside. The cat gets mad when she smells the dog has been in her box and will not go in there for a while (luckily for me she often goes outside) but I'm afraid she will start ...

Severe Gas in a Newborn

My daughter is 5 days old and every night except for one she has been up screaming with gas pains. Last night she screamed from 11pm until 4am. I can hear her poor stomach growling and she just screams in pain. The doctor told me that it was normal and that I can us Mylicon drops but they don't seem to work. I don't remember having this with my first child. My daughter is breastfed and I burp her after every feeding. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this or had any tips for soothing her or getting rid of the gas. ...

Celiac Disease Recipe Ideas

After a tremendously long and difficult time, we may have hit the jackpot in finding the reason for my husband's constant debilitating stomach issues. We think he has celiac disease. He is too scared to go for the testing cause its major surgery to confirm it 100% but based on changing his diet to totally gluten free in the past few days, he is beginning to see changes and so am I. Does anyone have experience with celiac disease? If so, what do you make for supper and lunches for the family? I would like to include his meals as ours so...

Help Needed for Constipated Child

My son is almost 9 and has been suffering with tummy aches and constipation for a couple months now. When he first started complaining about "not feeling good" I didn't connect the constipation with it because as far as I know, he hasn't had trouble with it before. For about the past week now, he has had trouble passing stools because they are big and hard....sorry I know this is gross, but we're all moms right? Anyway, it's about killing me to hear him whimpering in the bathroom as he's trying to go and he's afraid it will happen at...

10 Month Old Refuses to Eat Baby Food!!

I got such positive feedback on my son's sleeping issue I thought I would ask for advice on his eating baby food issue. He is 10 months old, 11 month on March 27th. He has always been a good eater when it came to babyfood, formula, whatever until about 2-3 months ago. He has 3 mealtimes a day, morning afternoon and evening and snacks inbetween. He is happy before I put him in his high chair to eat, even while I am getting his food ready he is happy, playing with the toys on his tray. I typically give him 3 things to eat, veggies, fruits,...

Nausea & Heartburn

I had nausea and heartburn all last week. My heartburn was all in the mid-stomach area though not my chest. My mom thinks it could be the start of an ulcer and my co-workers think I am pregnant. 10 days after my period this month, I spotted for 3-4 days. It was nothing heavy. Now obviously this sounds like more of a pregnancy thing, but my nausea and heartburn are gone. I have stopped drinking caffine because it made my heartburn worse. I went on a diet for a few days where I cut out all acid foods. I have not had heartburn since last...

Getting Out Spit Up???

Hi mamas out there!!! My 8 month old son had to transition from breastmilk to formula (returning to work has greatly decreased my supply, sadly, and I am dealing with the disappointment of it - luckily I am still able to nurse him in the early morning and evenings - the best parts of my day). As a result, it had turned him into quite the little spit up monster. We have found a formula that works better for him and the spitting up has decreased greatly (thank goodness!!!). My question though is what do you use to clean it up? I know it...
