Your baby was spitting up a lot but seemed happy and no gas issues? Dd is on enfamil infant for about a week and she spits up non stop. Im wondering if I should switch her to something else. She is 15 weeks. What formulas are good for babies who spit up?

I would hold off. Try burping her really well and see ho wit is in a week. It takes time for them to adjust to a new formula. Both DD adn DS would spit up, but they were bf so it was more of them getting a better digestive track and eating more. When we started formula we did Gerber Gentle. I love it. I now buy the generic at Meijer. No issues with either child on it.

Is she spitting up the whole bottle, or just maybe a tbsp?

Spitting up is very common, but if the majority is staying in her belly and she's not in pain I wouldn't switch.

I would try holding off. Switching can really mess with them. Try burping her every ounce or two and keeping her upright for 20 minutes after feedings.

i wouldnt.
DD had gas issues and was a happy spitter. i tried switching from similac advance to enfamil gentlease and it was a disaster. we were right back at similac advance and she grew out of the gas issues by 3m. she was a happy spitter til about 8 or 9 months. once a lot of her diet became solids she stopped spitting up. my mom said i was a happy spitter too.
