Tummy massage &amp; leg bicycles were the only instant relief and time was the only cure :( I hope that you can experiment with formula and figure out a fix though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-a-baby-develop-a-better-tolerance-for-formula-as-they-get-older#post-914083 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 20:25:16 +0000 MrsF 914083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure about the specifics, but M is on hypoallergenic formula for a milk protein (and probably soy) intolerance and our GI assumes that she will grow out of it by a year. I'm assuming that a year wouldn't cut it for you though. I bet some other HBers would have recs for gentle formulas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-a-baby-develop-a-better-tolerance-for-formula-as-they-get-older#post-913977 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 19:41:37 +0000 NovBaby1112 913977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am not sure about outgrowing an intolerance, but if you do suspect the formula is the issue I would definitely try to find another brand that might be gentler on his tummy. I think they make kinds that are for gas and tummy sensitivities. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-a-baby-develop-a-better-tolerance-for-formula-as-they-get-older#post-913946 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 19:22:48 +0000 Ra 913946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has been suffering from painful gas and I suspect that the culprit is the formula we have been using to supplement. DH gives him formula mixed with pumped milk at night and it seems like late night/early morning is when his gas is the worst.</p> <p>Right now, I am not producing enough when I pump to build a stash and supplement when I go back to work. Will he gain a tolerance for formula once his digestive system matures a bit (he is only 3 weeks)? Or once an intolerance, always an intolerance? </p>
