Hello,I have a 3 month old baby boy and over the past month I have switched him to low-iron formula but I am scared that I made the wrong choice. He was quite constipated which is why I made the switch, but I read how they NEED Iron and I feel like maybe I should put him back on the iron-fortified stuff? What have your experiences been? Should I switch him back? Thanks so much :)
Have you tried switching to a soy based formula? When mine were on milk base they were both miserable. I noticed a big change in the bm's after I went to the soy. I probably wouldn't switch back if he is doing well on what you changed him to. Good Luck!
Maybe you can go to the website of your brand of formula and compare them. However, my foremost suggestion would be to call your doctor. When it comes to formulas and the effect on your son, the pediatrician would be your best bet.
Ask your pediatrician my daughter was very constipated and gassy and she is now on gentle ease and that has worked wonders on her she was previously on lipil with iron.
