Types of Formula

I'm wondering what type of formula is best for a gassy baby. We are currently using the Enfamil Gentle formula but I just looked at what the ingredients are and the first thing on the list is corn syrup. Now why would there be corn syrup as the main ingredent?? Have other mom's had any luck with any other formulas for babies with gas issues? Thank you!!

Formula for Baby with Milk/soy Allergy

We just found my 10 months old son is allergic to cow's milk and soy amongst other food allergies he has. (he is allergic to Egg white, peanuts, walnuts, corn, wheat and sesame.

Lactose Intolerance in Infants

Does anyone have an infant who is lactose intolerant? If so, what are the symptoms? I have a 6 month old boy who is primarily breastfed with formula supplemented.

But, in my eyes things seemed to get better in the past month. Then today my son had his first day of daycare and when i picked him up, the provider asked if I've asked my doctor about...

Does Anyone Use Earth's Best Organic Formula?

I just saw a news report today that stated "Rocket Fuel" has been found in infant formula. In the study, they said they can not identify which brands were tested...it's the same story when they found melamine in some of the brands! So, I was thinking about switching to Earth's Best Organic Formula because I already use the organic rice for my 6mth old. So, do you or do you know anyone who uses organic formula? Did it have any different side effects? Any advice would be appreciated...breastfeeding is no longer an option.

Is Enfamil Gentlease a Soy Formula?

We switched my daughter to Gentlease due to her having a lot of problems with gas (despite vented bottles and gas drops in each bottle of formula). It seems to be helping quite a bit, but when I was reading the ingredients I got quite confused. Here is what it lists as one of the main ingredients: "partially hydrolyzed nonfat milk and whey protein concentrate solids (soy)". Whey protein is milk protein as far as I know, so I'm not sure what the "soy" in parenthesis means?? Their site says "It contains an easy-to-digest milk protein...
