Out of curiosity, what do you define as does well on?

Doesn’t make her spit up/vomit, doesn’t either give her diarrhea or give her constipation, she will actually drink it, things like that. Also I’ve found the formulas that are left at the store are extremely foamy or don’t mix well and leave clumps. Plus if you have a baby you know how frustrating it is In general to be constantly switching formulas no matter what. It’s hard when they are little on their tummies. I have found another that she did ok on but there was only one left. Went to the store again, none of that brand either.

Our youngest had all those problems. Had to cut out gluten,dairy, and surprisingly tomato’s.

Tomatoes was the first thing my mom warned me about while I was breastfeeding! I would have had no idea.

It was kind of a fluke that we found out. Many other parent’s suggested dairy and gluten but our daughter was still projectile vomiting and having diarrhea. But once we figure out it was the tomato’s she’s been real good. Another thing we found out is sourdough bread is tolerable for the baby. My wife and I have been making sourdough to replace regular bread.

My wife is on an elimination diet right now and we gambled on pizza... hoping it was a seafood allergy. We were wrong and have a very fussy baby on our hands.

Good to know about tomatoes, I wouldn't have guessed!

Very relatable! We literally said screw it and indulged on some Mexican food. Huge mistake, it was a rough night…..

Sigh… back to more chicken and rice.

They can have more than one allergy or intolerance so you might not be wrong. My kid had a dairy protein intolerance and I kept finding milk in everything including my iron supplements. It's rough. Hope you figure it out.

Try bobbie at target. Made of way better stuff than the other big name brands and pretty easy to find there. Our baby’s doing great on it.

Whatever Sam's Club puts in their lactose safe formula (the orange cap one) smells like straight ASS. I'm so glad our LO just turned 1 and we can wean her off of this nasty smelling crap.

Well the good news is if it's been months she'll grow out of it soon enough and on to solid foods

Yes, very lucky for my baby. Unfortunate for those that still have tiny ones.

Ah ty. See, since we know chemically exactly what's in breastmilk I figured there would be fairly little variance to different formulae

Ya it’s interesting how much they vary! And how much they all vary while saying “our closest formula to breast milk”. You can see that label across the same exact brand but their different formulas. Like how can they BOTH be “closest to breast milk” when they have different main ingredients? Lol

The secret is marketing bullshit! Add a healthy dose to every essential product!
