Many of my friends have told me if I give my baby a formula feeding before bed it will help him sleep through the night. So far this experiment has been a disaster, with crying, screaming and constipation. She is in private practice in Eastern Pennsylvania. It would be best to rely exclusively on breastfeeding.
Formula feeding is known to carry numerous risks to the infant.
The potential risks are possible with all formulas, so switching the brand will not reduce these risks, and a different formula may not be tolerated any better by your baby than the one you are using now. That means the more formula a baby gets the more likely they are to have the associated problems. In your case, however, your baby is already showing signs of a sensitivity to formula and that may mean he is more vulnerable to the associated risks than your friend's baby. Also, because he is not tolerating the formula it may increase sleep disruptions. Your breasts were designed to sustain your baby's entire need for milk.
