What Baby Formula is Best for a Baby With Colic? |
|
|
Many mothers choose to feed their babies formula because of
hectic schedules and the difficulty with pumping milk. As a
result, formula is a great option for many mothers. However,
lots of moms regret the choice of feeding their babies formula
when the baby develops colic. It will help mothers to realize
that many babies, no matter whether breast fed or formula fed,
will simply suffer from colic. So, if your baby is suffering
from colic don't second guess yourself because most babies that
develop colic simply develop it.
When you became pregnant you were probably really excited and
started making plans. These plans may have included the choice
to feed your baby formula and even if you did a lot of research
to find the "right" formula you probably were unaware that each
baby has different needs and that your baby might actually
develop colic. Many mothers have heard of colic, yet don't
realize what it really is until it happens to their baby. But,
once it affects your baby you will become more concerned about
the best formula for your baby that might help them feel better
and suffer less.
There are some signs that will let you know if changing formula
is a good idea. One of these is if your baby has stomach and |

pains after a feeding. If this is the case and you and your
doctor believe a new formula will help then changing is a good
idea. However, keep in mind that colic frequently worsens before
it gets better so when changing formula be prepared for a couple
of rough days before being able to determine if the new formula
is working better than the old one. Also, don't change formulas
frequently if it is not necessary because this could make your
baby worse.
If you have decided to change formulas then you might consider
Carnation Good Start. The company markets this formula as having
"comfort proteins" that are easier for the baby to break down
and as a result have less gas pain. However, this brand really
only works for babies that tolerate cow's proteins because the
formula is made from this. Many babies do have a sensitivity or
even allergy to cow's proteins, as well as others, that parents
never realize until they switch formulas with different proteins
and the baby gets worse.
In the case your baby does not react well to Carnation's Good
Start then you might want to try a soy based formula. About 50%
of baby's that are allergic to cow's proteins are also allergic
to soy proteins, but 50% are not so it might

just work for your
baby. You certainly don't want to try a formula your baby is
allergic to, but you also don't want them suffering because you
are too scared to try a different formula. So, talk to your
doctor to see if a soy protein formula is a good option for your
baby and if so which brand might work best for baby.
In the instance that neither Carnation Good Start or soy
formulas work for your baby then a hypoallergenic formula might
be your last option. These formulas are great for babies with a
sensitive digestive system, however they are certainly
expensive, and because of this most parents only use them in the
case that their baby cannot tolerate any other formula.
Colic is no fun for baby or the parents, however with a little
patience and trying different formulas you will be successful
and help your baby find comfort. So, talk to your doctor about
what formula might be best for your baby to try when colic
appears and then take it from there.
