I need advice on my child who seems to be allergic to every formula.?

I have so far tried regular Similac, Similac Soy, and Similac Alimentum. Nothing seems to help him and he seems to just keep getting worse at only 2 weeks old he shouldent be haveing so many problems.I need advice on my child who seems to be allergic to every formula.?
Try Nestle Good start. Our little babygirl was breastfeed until 4 months and as she was needing more milk than my wife was supplying we had to put her on formula. We gave her this one, and no problem at all since first bottle. As well, only if you can, you should try to breastfeed as it was said here before, it is never too lateI need advice on my child who seems to be allergic to every formula.?
He's only two weeks old and you've already been through THREE formulas? That is probably the reason he seems ';allergic'; to formula. You need to give him at least a couple of weeks to adjust to a formula and see if he's taking it well. Stop switching it up on him, it's not good for his body.





With that said, our son never did well on Similac. We went with Parent's Choice brand from Walmart and it worked tons better(and was cheaper too!).
have him tested he may have acid reflux or some immune diff.
You didn't say weather your doctor was aware or if you are switching on your own, but if your doctor is not aware I would be sure to make an appointment. I have heard of some babies having this issue. There are formulas that you can try,I think that the doctor may have to actually give you some sort of prescription for this. Anyway,there are more formulas you can try but you will probably have to go through your doctor to find out what will work.
At 2 weeks pp you can still breastfeed if you are interested. Not pushing it, just making sure you know it's possible.
try a different brand steer away from the similac and see if that help try store brands
Try something other than similac, it could simply be something that is in their formula. What are the clues that it has something to do with the formula?
You're going to have to take him to the doctor. If hes not getting nourishment it could be really unhealthy for him. I really hope you find something that works!
The reason he's having so many problems is TOO many formulas in a short time. You need to give a formula 10-12 days for them to get used to it. We had the same problem with our little girl... too many different switches. As soon as we stuck to Parent's Choice Gentle for a week, she was fine and has been a super happy baby ever since. No gastric problems at all. I think your changing too much. Pick one and stay with it at least a week minimum preferrably two weeks. When switching formulas they recommend you take at least a week to switch over (mixing the new brand with steadily decreasing amounts of the previous brand) and in two weeks he's already had 3 formulas. That is too much for his system. Until you pick one and stick with it his discomfort will continue. I would recommend one of the Gentle formulas, either Parent's Choice Gentle from Walmart (which was recommended by my pediatrician) or Enfamil Gentlease (if you want to pay for the name brand). Those are easier to digest than the full milk protien formulas but won't constipate them like some of the soy formulas do.
Try similac organic w/ a shot of little tummys gripe water mixed in. The organic is very easy on the little belly %26amp; the gripe water is for extra comfort. That should do the trick! Good luck :)
you must have your own reasons but why not breastfeed? i don't know of any babies allergic to mothers milk... it's the most natural. you can still breastfeed now if you haven't yet. did you try Enfamil?
I don't know whether this is of any use to you http://www.ehow.com/how_5364219_deal-bab鈥?/a>
