Any moms out there with babies on Enfamil Nutramigen??? I need advice!?
When my baby was first born, we had him on Enfamil Lipil (milk-based). He was crying, screaming all the time and had painful gas and constipation. The dr put him on a trial of soy, but he had the same symptoms. The dr then recommended Enfamil Gentlease, which is a broken-down version of Enfamil Lipil (milk-based). The Gentlease didn't work either, so he was put on Enfamil Nutramigen. All the symptoms stopped. At his 4-mo checkup, we asked if we could try to take him off of Nutramigen. He recommended Nestle Goodstart with Comfort Protiens. All the crying, gas,etc came right back within 2 days. So, back we go to Enfamil Nutramigen!!! When I asked why the Nutramigen works for him and milk and soy-based formulas don't, my dr told me, "Well, he could have colic, allergies/sensitivities to milk and soy, his GI tract could be immature" Which basically means, he doesn't know, as far as I'm concerned. Why was your baby put on Nutramigen? How about starting solid foods? Allergic?
I have not had my baby on Nutramigen, but I have had some family members who were. I would have to ask them specifically why they were on it. If you contact me through my profile page, then I can ask my family members and get back to you as soon as I know what's up.
