Any Moms with Babies on Enfamil Nutramigen?

Hi there, I have a 5.5 month old son who was put on nutramigen because of horrendous belly pain. We noticed immediate relief once we started him on it and I am so thankful. I was wondering if anyone else used this with there babies and if so, when did you try to wean them off it? did you ever try regular formula? He is now eating certain stage 1 baby foods without any issues and i have to wonder if he has outgrown his belly problems. Any advice would be great! Thanks!

Could It Be Acid Reflux?

My 1 month old has been very fussy the last couple of weeks, and I'm not sure whats wrong. He hardly naps during the day, but will sleep for 2-3 hours at a time during the night. It also seems like he's constantly hungry, so I nurse him every 1 1/2 to 2 hours. I know my milk supply is adequate. Usually halfway through a feeding he'll stiffen up and start to crying really hard, and then do the same after a feeding. This is my first baby, so I don't have much experience. We thought it might be gas, so we started giving him those gas drops. A...

Exclusively Breastfed Infant Having Strange Bowel Movements

My son is 11 weeks old and is breastfed exclusively. He had a strange poop two days ago. It was dark greenish with mucus and dark blood in it. All of his poops have been green with mucus since but no more blood. Before this they were always mustard seedy yellow. Sorry to ask about poop but I am concerned and we have no insurance right now so it's either the emergency room or nothing. Has anyone ever experienced this? Is this something I should be worried about? Any idea what caused the change? Other than strange poop he seems...

Burping Help and Gas Relief for a 4Mo

Hi, I have a 4mo little girl who had a lot trouble with gas early on. I wasn't able to breastfeed, so started her on formula and had to try several until we found one she could tolerate (Nutramigen). She still had lots of gas, but we burped (endlessly!) and used Mylicon drops on occassion and she finally started getting better a little before 3mo. She seemed to have the burping down and no longer had any gas pains. This seems to have ended. Last week, when she started getting more distracted during feedings, she just wasn't...

Nutramigen and Zantac (Acid Reflux)

Our LO is almost three months and has had issues with being fussy and spitting up formula. He has also always been very grunty. We switched him to nutramigen and that seemed to really help with his stomach issues and constipation. He recently seemed to be in discomfort from what we thought was acid reflux and would spit up clear liquid after feedings. We brought him to the pediatrician and they put him on Zantac. After two days he started doing wonderful, grunting less, sleeping for 5-6 hours at night and was in a much better mood...

Nutramigen Ready to Feed or Powdered....

IS NUTRAMIGEN LIQUID DIFFERENT FROM NUTRAMIGEN POWDER? My 1 month old son has acid reflux so spitt up and gas are a Huge deal in my house. Her pedi just switched him to Nutramigen/ rice cereal to help with spitt up and colic. Before he was on similac advance/rice cereal but the liquid kind. I tried the powdered similac advance and it made him spitt up even more. Today I tried the powdered nutramigen and sure enough he spitt up a lot. Is the liquid one any different than the powdered one?

Where to Find Nutramigen

We're transitioning our micro man onto Nutramigen - much to our financial chagrin! I haven't purchased the stuff in years. Any ideas of where I can get it in the larger powder cans and possibly less expensivly than Stop and Shop? BTW - nursing is not an option - wish to heck it were!
