Suggestion for Infant Formula That Creates Less Gas

Hello: I am hoping that one of you might be able to point me in the right direction. I am looking for a formula that creates less gas for my 2 week old son. We are currently using Enfamil lipil with iron, but it seems to create quite a bit of gas for him and it is so hard for me to watch him in such pain. Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, A.

HELP- 18 Month Old Measuring Small

My daughter is almost 19 months but we had her 18 month checkup today. She weighed 21 lbs 8 oz and measured in the 9th percentile. I have not been worried about her weight (even though I knew she was small) because she ate a blanced diet (fruits, veggies, beans, cheese, etc.) and is meeting her milestones. She even has a little bit of a "belly." The only thing she really doesn't want to eat is meat. She has been known to out-eat my 4 year old son from time to time. The doctor, however, is concerned as her percentile has dropped. She...

Help Needed for Constipated Child

My son is almost 9 and has been suffering with tummy aches and constipation for a couple months now. When he first started complaining about "not feeling good" I didn't connect the constipation with it because as far as I know, he hasn't had trouble with it before. For about the past week now, he has had trouble passing stools because they are big and hard....sorry I know this is gross, but we're all moms right? Anyway, it's about killing me to hear him whimpering in the bathroom as he's trying to go and he's afraid it will happen at...

What Do I Feed My 12 Month Old?

We just went to the doctor to get those wonderful 12 month shots. It actually went better than I had plan! My Doctor told me that I could take him off of formula now and the bottle completely and start feeding him fruits and other table foods. This is my first child and I was never around babies growing up. So, here's my question... what can I feed my 12 month old? He has two bottom teeth and 3 top teeth coming in. I am just afraid of him choking on something. Any ideas, I like ideas!! :)

Getting Out Spit Up???

Hi mamas out there!!! My 8 month old son had to transition from breastmilk to formula (returning to work has greatly decreased my supply, sadly, and I am dealing with the disappointment of it - luckily I am still able to nurse him in the early morning and evenings - the best parts of my day). As a result, it had turned him into quite the little spit up monster. We have found a formula that works better for him and the spitting up has decreased greatly (thank goodness!!!). My question though is what do you use to clean it up? I know it...
