My 3.5 months old baby vomits after we feed him formula milk. Why?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com. I can understand your concerns.

Breast milk is easier to digest, and as a result, there is no problem of abdomen pain or vomiting. The reasons of vomiting after formula milk could be the following:

1. You are giving more than the appetite of the child. Since you are also giving breast milk, the amount of formula milk should be less. Give a small amount of formula milk than what you are giving now. The weight at 3.5 months is around 9.9 pounds, if your child's weight is good, you can decrease the amount of formula milk.
2. Similac will be better than Nan Pro 1 in this situation. Similac will be easier to digest.
3. Do burp for at least 10 minutes after every feed.
4. Give Yamoo drops, it contains lactase enzymes, which helps in digestion of formula milk. Mix 4 to 5 drops of Yamoo drops in three tablespoons of milk and mix well for 10 minutes. This will decrease abdominal pain and vomiting.

The main reason that I feel is that you are giving more amount of formula milk than what the child actually requires. Decrease the amount of formula milk.

I hope this will help you. Take care.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Nan Pro 1 has lactogen, and some children develop lactose intolerance, leading to vomiting and abdominal pain. In this condition, lactose-free milk is given like Similac or Zerolac. I suggest giving Similac.

Take care.
