My newborn baby is very very gassy. After seeing him with so much gas. I decided that maybe his formula is causing the problem. After talking to the dr., I began to look for a formula that has reduced whey protein. I choose parent's choice gentle because it states that it is 1/4 whey protein than regular cow milk based powder and it's comparable to Enfamil. Plus, it would save me money if my son does take it.

I started out small by mixing 1/3 of the parents choice with 2/3 of his regular formula. He had no problem with the different smell or taste (parent's choice does have a stronger odor). He dranked it all. I didn't notice any reduction in his gas though. I thought it might just be new formula takes some time for the tummy to adjust.

The next day, I was waiting for dirty diapers. But there were none! He started to get red faced and crying when he can't get any poops out. I immediately stop giving him parents choice gentle and put him back totally on his regular formula. He was constipated for one day. After that, he was back to his normal pooping schedule.
