I think we used dr brown's #1 for a really long time, but my Lo definitely couldn't deal with a fast flow. If have two sizes on hand just to see what Lo does ok with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/enfamil-ar#post-2113742 Wed, 18 Mar 2015 21:41:37 +0000 MamaG 2113742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: was it thick like needing a larger nipple? My doc said no, but many reviews I've read suggest otherwise </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/enfamil-ar#post-2113739 Wed, 18 Mar 2015 21:36:56 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2113739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can see my response above. I swear by it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/enfamil-ar#post-2113436 Wed, 18 Mar 2015 16:23:08 +0000 MamaG 2113436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumpity bump. We have a lot of spit up issues. LO is 4 months and spits up for the entire 2-3 hours between bottles. She's happy and gaining wet, just is making a mess of everything with her spit up. We were using Similac Sensitive and recently changed to Enfamil Gentlease. Her ped recommended Enfamil AR today and gave up a few sample cans. He said it wouldn't be thick in the bottle, but would thicken in the stomach. </p> <p>How has this formula worked for others? We aren't doing any sort of reflux meds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/enfamil-ar#post-1579923 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 21:33:42 +0000 StbHisMrs 1579923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our lo spits up with regular formula so we use Enfamil Prosobee, equally expensive, but it works well! She use to "spit" the entire bottle of regular formula up within 5 minutes, now she doesn't. We still breastfeed 95% of the time, trying to slowly switch her to formula. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/enfamil-ar#post-1579810 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 19:17:08 +0000 MrsH 1579810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@citymouse: last time we went in she was 12lb6ounces and her dose is 1.6ml per day (.8 ml twice a day). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/enfamil-ar#post-1579803 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 19:13:19 +0000 citymouse 1579803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: Yeah, I would too!! Do you mind me asking what dose and weight? I found this chart online and am curious if its correct? This is Zantac specific. </p> <p>WEIGHT (in lb): TOTAL DAILY RANGE (in ml)<br /> 10: 1.5-3<br /> 12: 1.8-3.6<br /> 15: 2.3-4.5<br /> 18: 2.7-5.5<br /> 20: 3.0-6.1 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/enfamil-ar#post-1579745 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 18:02:07 +0000 MrsH 1579745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@citymouse: right. As long as the Zantac works I think we stay on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/enfamil-ar#post-1579585 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 14:24:26 +0000 citymouse 1579585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: And thats because Zantac is weight dependent right? Would they ever move you guys to Prilosec or the other one? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/enfamil-ar#post-1579559 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 13:51:04 +0000 MrsH 1579559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@citymouse: yeah, when her meds need to be upped we can tell because she screams at every burping and starts to arch her back :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/enfamil-ar#post-1579549 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 13:48:59 +0000 citymouse 1579549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: Gosh :-( Poor babe and poor Mama!! I know the majority of kids grow out of it, but it doesn't make it any easier! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/enfamil-ar#post-1579543 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 13:44:42 +0000 MrsH 1579543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@citymouse: she has been on Zantac since she was one week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/enfamil-ar#post-1579540 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 13:41:11 +0000 citymouse 1579540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: Good to know! We started yesterday. Seeing some less spit up...hopefully it works! </p> <p>@MrsH: Do you use any meds like Zantac? Or, is your Ped anti meds since LO is gaining weight/growing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/enfamil-ar#post-1578841 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 15:17:08 +0000 Ash 1578841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@citymouse: not silly at all! That was my peds recommendation actually :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/enfamil-ar#post-1578831 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 14:55:51 +0000 MrsH 1578831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@citymouse: we've been using 1/3 gentelease and 2/3 a.r. I think it helps most days. Some days it does not :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/enfamil-ar#post-1577430 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 12:31:12 +0000 citymouse 1577430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: Are you still doing the rice starch with formula? We are going to start today and am looking for experiences! I was thinking of doing the sensitivity formula and then adding rice, kind of like hitting two birds with one stone. @ash: do you think that is a silly idea?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/enfamil-ar#post-1492845 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 19:23:52 +0000 Ash 1492845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: you're welcome! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/enfamil-ar#post-1492843 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 19:23:11 +0000 MrsH 1492843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: thanks lady! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/enfamil-ar#post-1492840 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 19:22:33 +0000 Ash 1492840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: yep! I bought beech nut :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/enfamil-ar#post-1492829 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 19:18:24 +0000 MrsH 1492829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: stupid question but just infant rice cereal? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/enfamil-ar#post-1492780 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 18:57:21 +0000 Ash 1492780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: I have similac coupons if you'd like them ;)<br /> It's 1 tablespoon per 3oz of formula. So I think that's a teaspoon per ounce. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/enfamil-ar#post-1492759 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 18:44:48 +0000 MrsH 1492759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: yes please! It is so expensive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/enfamil-ar#post-1492753 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 18:42:09 +0000 Ash 1492753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The a.r. stands for added rice so you can just buy regular formula and add your own rice. My pedi gave us the recipe if you need it. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/enfamil-ar#post-1492715 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 18:21:56 +0000 MrsH 1492715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: thanks for the tip! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/enfamil-ar#post-1491965 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 13:35:42 +0000 BananaPancakes 1491965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used it only briefly and then switched to Alimentum RTF and added my own rice cereal per his pediatrician. I really hated the way it smelled and it caused my son to choke a lot because it's just so thick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/enfamil-ar#post-1491889 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 13:16:03 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 1491889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used it forever along with Prevacid. The thickness really helped my LO. It goes on sale at Target and bru from time to time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/enfamil-ar#post-1491209 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 10:25:10 +0000 kjpugs 1491209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: generic of Zantac. They told me if it wasn't helping to call the ped and have the dose re-evaluated... you might want to do that! But they did say that it may not help her spitup and to either put her back on A/R if needed, or start introducing baby oatmeal (our ped doesn't like the rice cereal) to bottles to help her keep spitup down. We haven't had to do that yet but it's still early. So definitely talk to your ped but they may say to just go on the A/R to help it. Good luck!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/enfamil-ar#post-1491201 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 10:23:27 +0000 MrsH 1491201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kjpugs: what reflux meds? E is on baby Zantac but that doesn't stop her from spitting up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/enfamil-ar#post-1491189 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 10:20:39 +0000 kjpugs 1491189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I was told to get Similac for Spit Up (same thing basically) and started buying the generic version which is the generic of the A/R. I've used both Target and Walmart brand... I think it was $16 or 18. I didn't really notice any difference from the Similac. Both REALLY improved her spit up. We went off it thinking maybe milk allergy/sensitivity but turns out she had reflux... we're back on just normal with the reflux meds, but if she started spitting up again for any reason I would not hesitate to go back to the generic A/R. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/enfamil-ar#post-1491132 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 10:07:51 +0000 MrsH 1491132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone use this? LO is spitting up like 20 times a day and wondering if this will help. It's so expensive too :( </p>
