Nestle Good Start Soy Formula — 

Someone please help! I'm at my wits end! My son is 6 weeks old. He was originally on Prosobee for 2 weeks. We had to stop it because he became

 constipated and very fussy, crying alot, but NOT spitting up. Tried to switch to carnation milk based, but he spit up after each bottle. Tried Alimentum (Dr's advice); it was HORRIBLE; he would pass gas all day and his stomach would rumble. Tried Nutramagen (again, Dr's advice); same thing as Alimentum, although not as horrific. He's still fussy and gassy. Dr said to try carnation soy, which is what I'm about to do. Is it really easier on their tummies, and was anyone's baby constipated on this formula? Doc said to give 1oz water/1 oz prune juice if he becomes constipated on the carnation. We're all frustrated in this house. This is supposed to be a joyous time. Please, any suggestions would be great. Thank you.

Agreed- Elecare has been a life saver for my child. Although we are spending her college fund on formula, it's worth it for a happy baby.

Hi,
I just wrote you a lengthy reply for the 2nd time now :) And the bottom line is IT WORKS!! A little over 24 hours ago we made the switch to Good Start Soy Plus! It's WONDERFUL! Our DD is almost 4 mos old and she slept like I have never seen her sleep! As for gas, it's FAR less than what it was and it's not even close to as forceful as it was! It's WONDERFUL!!!
Though, she does spit up more than she did before.. But if that's the worst thing (and it seems it is) I think we're on the better end of the deal - By Far! She burps and burps quickly. I haven't heard or FELT her tummy rumble and her gas is GREATLY reduced!! I can hack some spit up! :) And more importantly, it seems SHE can handle some spit up! She's HAPPY! Bot that she wasn't before... But she was in pain. You could tell! Poor thing would be smiling and cooing then out of nowhere she would pass gas ( putting grown men & sailors to shame) it was so forcful that I knew it hurt.. Plus, she would cry from it. I would feel & hear her tiummy rumble and she would cry.. No More!!
She's actually sleeping again right now! She has slept better & longer today that I have ever seen her sleep! It's wonderful!
We did have a bit of trouble with the first 2 bottles... But I'm not sure she was REALLY hungry to begin with.. I just wanted to feed her bc I had just bought the good start!
Anyway, total thumbs up!
Good Luck!!! Let me know how it turns out for you!! :)

Going throught the same thing with my 5 month old. we were told she is allegic to cow's milk protein and put on amnio acid based formula ( neocate, elecare) which we purchased on-line. If the carnation does not work by god the elecare will do the trick. e-mail me if you have question at chetika@aol.com
