In the last week, two friends of mine who are formula feeding their newborns discovered what baby colics were (inconsolable crying even after feeding, baby stiffs his limbs, arches his back. You can really notice that s/he’s very upset and uncomfortable and it’s not hunger neither his diaper, etc.)
If you are formula feeding your baby you need to know this: formula has GMO. It has genetically modified soy, in between other “ingredients”. You don’t need to believe me. Read the ingredients label.
I want to share with you what I -a mom who reads a lot, not a doctor, just a friend- suggested to my friends and was useful for them:
- Talk to his/her doctor and ask her/him to change the formula brand for one that doesn’t contain GMO (specially not soy).
- If your baby is still having issues, ask the doctor for a free lactose formula.
But if you can, my friend, forget about the formula and turn to breastfeeding exclusively, nothing better than that 😉
When I needed to stop my breathfeeding and start with formula -for other issues- and he was 7-8 months old, I read a lot about and I decided to use Baby Only lactose free: http://www.naturesone.com/dairy/ Lino didn’t get again a diaper rush, or cry again until he was 2 years old 🙂
It sounds like the same issue that these 2 moms were going thru…Glad it worked for you both!
