Advice on Weaning off Alimentum

I have a 7 mo. old son who has been on alimentum since 1 mo due to colic and reflux. He has been doing great on all 1st foods and recently started 2nd foods. I wanted to try another formula since he is older, doing well with solids and alimentum is soooo expensive! I have been transitioning for the last three days with nestle good start and have noticed some spitting up after his bottle and soem non-productive coughing during the day. Does anyone have some experience weaning their child off of alimentum? Thanks much.

15 Month Old on Alimentum

My 15 month old daughter is back on 100% Alimentum after trying whole milk, soy milk, rice milk, and special toddler formula. All caused severe constipation and personality changes (except toddler formula which she simply refused). We go back to her GI in a week, so hopefully we'll get some answers. Just curious if anyone else has ever gone through this and what the outcome was. We are suspecting food allergies (can't do definitive tests until she's older) and are just not sure where to go from here. Anyone else been through this or...

My 8 Month Old Is Not Interested in Eating from the Spoon, Among Other Issues

My daughter has always had feeding issues. She has always had a smaller appetite. Right now, she drinks about 24 ounces in a 24 hour period, if we are lucky (she drinks Similac Senstiive). She eats very little solid food (maybe 1 tablespoon of oatmeal, if she will accept it off a spoon) She is not underweight. She is 17 pounds, which is in the 50th percentile. Each time we bottlefeed her, here is what happens: She drinks 2 ounces without stopping. Then, she begins bobbling off the bottle, as if she is done eating. But 3 minutes later...

Does ALIMENTUM (Ready to Feed) Help ECZEMA?
