So we went and saw the pediatrician today because it had been several days since Sophie pooped. She finally pooped and it was not hard it was normal texture. We also mentioned to the ped. that she fusses a lot when feeding and seems to have a bit more gas than normal. He suggested to try using Similac sensitive formula. It is a milk based formula that does not have the lactose in it which can sometimes cause exrta fussiness and gas. He also gave me a soy kind to use just in case the sensitive did not work. The thing with the soy formula is that it is for babies who spit up a lot. Sophie hardly ever spits up. So I asked him if it were to work how long would I notice a difference. He said probably right away. Well Sophie has had two feeds with similac sensitive and I have only noticed a slight change. Should I give it a 24 hour run through?
Could there be another reason that she is so gassy and fussy? She does not cry but she is always making noises or grunts. It is like she is always trying to fart. She pulls her knees into her chest and throws her neck back and turns bright red.
I don't know what to do? She used to be ok but now this is starting to cut into her night time sleeping. She gets so fussy after eating she can not lay down, so we have to hold her .
She has some serious gas issues. I really hope this formula works...
