We are currently on day 3 of a 2 week trial of Nutramigen, trying to find a formula that works for my 4.5 month old. We did soy for a week but everything got a lot worse with that, so this was our pediatricians next idea.

It’s only been 3 days so I’m sure he is still getting used to it, but he seems hungry a lot more often on this formula than the regular soy and milk based formulas we used before. He used to only have one night waking, but the past two nights had two instead. We tried to just settle him but he seemed genuinely hungry and he sucked down an additional 5 oz bottle. During the day he was going 3-4 hours and this weekend it was more like 2-3 hours between bottles.

If you switched to one of these formulas, did you find they seemed hungrier / started eating more after the switch? One of his issues is weight gain, so I’m sure its fine / possibly even good that he is getting extra ounces, but his other issue is ridiculous spit up so giving him MORE to drink seems counter-intuitive to that!

Thanks!
