Tips for switching?
My second child has been the 'problem child' all the way and now that he is 7 months it is time to switch to formula. He has always been a very spitty baby so we bought the similac sensitive. He has been vomiting a lot even though we are only doing half formula right now. I am not sure if this is due to the formula or the pneumonia he had a week ago (poor guy!). Any tips for sticking with the formula and minimizing the puke?

Re: Tips for switching?
the similac sensitive has worked good for my daughter, and also the born free bottles worked well for minimizing spit up

My kids can't stomach Similac brand. I found my daughter does well with Gerber Good Start. Also, go half and half, don't do a whole formula bottle. Slowly move to the formula, if you can help it. Or you can go to a hypoallergenic formula like Alimentum.

Re: Tips for switching?
We've been doing half and half for about a week and are just now starting to add more formula. My dr also suggested the Alimentum if the spit-up continues. Do I find that at a normal store or do I have to go somewhere special?

Re: Tips for switching?
Maybe try sitting the baby upright for about 45 mins after feedings if you can?
