Formula and being sick

So my ten month old has about three bottles a day. Which is think is about right. Three meals a day.
He's always been a sicky baby. When weaning started this seemed to ease. He's still being sick but only after a bottle of formula. Could it be that it just doesn't agree with him? He has full fat milk on cereal and in meals and has yoghurts etc and seems fine. Is it worth changing his formula now and see if that makes a difference? Not sure where to go from here. Sometimes he gets really fussy and once he's sick he's better in himself.

What's your timing of food and milk?
How much milk are they having in total? At that age I think 400-500mls is the recommended amount.

He's having three 6oz. So right amount I think? About mid morning, late afternoon and bedtime. So hours between eating solids.

My son had reflux, when he was on formula we still had to use carobel to thicken the milk to help it stay down.

We think he had reflux and changed his formula early on and it made a difference. Did you continue to use the anti reflux bottles?

Are you still doing paced feeding? Has be always been sick after bottles? My oldest was like this and diagnosed with CMPA at 11 months.

@Fallagain not always sick. Never done paced feeding. The change of formula and using anti comic bottles seemed to ease it. But he's just been sick everywhere and I've realised that it's never actually stopped and I thought it would with weaning.

I would speak to the GP about cmpa.
