Best formula for constantly vomiting baby?

5 replies

Loobyfly · 02/02/2010 17:30

My baby is 4 weeks old and brings up nearly all her feeds, vomiting a large amount quite forcefully. She is my third baby and the others had similar problems. She is on SMA Gold. I used SMA Staydown successfully with my second baby but this baby has trouble getting it to flow nicely through the teat. Was wondering if Cow and Gate Comfort or Aptamil Comfort would help, or are there any other good anti-vomiting milks? Thank you.

If he's intolerant to cows milk protein (common and if one dc had it then even more common for another to, so could be that this has been the problem with both) the you will need a hypoallergenic formula such as nutramigen or neocate. Expensive to buy, but if it works then you might be able to persaude your GP to give on prescription.

cow and gate comfort helped us. He was sick a bit less. gaviscon really helped however.

My newborn is doing the same thing. He downs his bottles very quickly so I've been trying to pace him. He is very hard to burp as well. He is on Cow and Gate and I have thought about switching to c&g comfort.

My health visitor came around today and she told me to try the dr. browns bottles first. If that doesn't work you can switch the formulas but talk to your doctor to see if he would prescribe gaviscon. She told me some doctors don't believe in colicky babies, that they have reflux and gaviscon will help.

I'm going to try the dr. brown's bottles first and see how that goes. I don't want to switch my formulas if I don't have to.
