Changing Formula...??

My baby has been on enfamil lipil with iron for about 3 weeks (she is 6wks old) and here lately she been spitting up a lot and is fussy because she has gas on her belly (she expells gas and it seems to bother and hurt her) I give her gas drops and they don't seem to help. I just started her on enfamil lipil gentleease today hoping that will help..anyone else had to do this and it seemed to work better? Or did you have to go to Soy-based??

Answers:
Our doctor recommended soy formula when baby S was spitting up to beat the band--not reflux, he was happy and not fussy--but baby hated the soy formula and had the worst night of his little life after drinking it for one measly bottle, so that was the end of that. Some babies just spit up.

Some babies just spit up, as the previous answerer stated.

I've seen several studies lately that I wish I could find a link to, that state that soy formulas are started to be linked to early puberty in little girls. And I believe it because every girl I know who was on soy formula got their period at 8 or 9 years old.

Yes I have 3 baby girls and each one of them had to be switched to Similac ISOMIL. Once they were on that life was soooo much better. My youngest was such a bad spitter that I literally had to wash her carseat cover twice a week. It drove me mad and I begged the pediatrician to help me. She would just cry for hours because of the gas pain. I even had to bend her legs back and forth to ease the pain but when she got the isomil in her system she was fine. Just normal baby fussies and sooo much less spit up than before.
