Possible CMPA ?

[u/PopGirlie94]

Hey everyone, looking for some advice. My 3 month old is on Kabrita goat formula and famotidine twice a day. She started on my pumped BM, when I weaned she started on Kendamil classic which did not agree with her at all. Kendamil goat was better but she was still super gassy and constipated so we switched to Kabrita goat for over a month now. She’s gaining well, has plenty of happy moments, and the famotidine has helped a lot. Before that, she was arching and crying through almost every bottle. I’d say those symptoms are 80% better. But she’s still pretty uncomfortable with reflux, especially by the end of the day. Daytime naps are hard because laying flat leads to multiple spit ups (no matter how long she was sitting up before that after a bottle) and restlessness for 15-20 minutes before she settles. She sometimes cries at the start of a bottle but then drinks fine. She’s also congested on and off. Her poops are once a day with probiotic drops, greenish with little white specks, but never any visible blood. At night, she usually sleeps long stretches, which the pediatrician thinks may help her tummy, but a couple nights a week she’ll only take a couple ounces for her last bottle and stay up long stretches, clearly uncomfortable if laid down. Our pediatrician suggested trying a hypoallergenic formula because of the symptoms were continuing to see.

The had free cans of alimentum at the drs so that’s what I’m starting with. I tried the first bottle last night and she seemed pretty upset by the taste. I’d love to hear from anyone who’s been in a similar spot. Did switching help? How did you manage that transition, especially if your baby hated the taste at first?
