Enfamil Gentlease vs Good Start

Has anyone had issues with Gentlease? My daughter is 6 weeks old and we switched her to it because the Enfamil lipil kept making her constipated. Now her stools are runny and she has bad gas. I am beginning to think it is Enfamil that is the problem. The other issue is that the formula is so runny. It doesn't seem to have much thickness to it and doesn't seem to sustain her very long. I have heard really good things about Nestle Good Start. Has anyone had experience with this?

Enfamil Lipil (Gentle) vs Similac Advance with Iron

Our second son is three weeks old. we nursed for the first week and a half while weaning to Similac Advance with Iron. Our son does well enough on formula in general but spits up and has some minor gas (some fussiness but doesn't seem to have an issue passing the gas and stools are what they should be). But, since he does spit up (not a ton but more than a little on most bottles - and we burp plenty) and has the minor fussienss we decided to switch to Enfamil Lipil Gentle formula. But he is still spitting up - is there even a difference...

What Is Colic?

My 7 week old daughter might be colic. This is my first and I hear different things like "all babies cry". We had switched her formula 4 times and she is now on Gentlease by Emfamil. This seems to work but now she cries(screams) everyday, about the same time. Yesterday it was for 3 hours and it got so bad I had to call my mother to come over. Thankfully she lives about 10 minutes away. I just reached a breaking point and started crying myself. I took her temp and it was fine. Nothing soothed her. If she does this everyday is this colic or...

Has Anyone Heard of Gripe Water?

I have recently heard about Gripe Water for helping little tummies. I have been buying Gerber Gas Drops, but it doesn't seem to be helping, and my son (@6 months) has such bad gas pains at night that he wakes up 3-6 times and needs comforting. Nursing helps, but that's me getting up 3-6 times to do so and having little to no sleep. Does anyone know about Gripe Water or talked to their pediatricians about it? Just inquiring. Thanks in advance for your feedback and thoughts.

How to make my infant sleep more or sleep longer?

My 6 month old daughter will only sleep about 3 hours (from 11:00 to 2:00) and then she'll sleep until 4:00. After that we're lucky if she goes back down for another hour. She won't sleep AT ALL during the day. So she's only getting 7-8 hours of sleep total in a 24 hour period. I am very concerned that this will begin to affect her health. She's only slept longer two times when we gave her Tylenol. Giving my child Tylenol is not a long term solution. I've discussed with my doctor and not gotten much help. She does have reflux but she...
