All babies spit up but my DD was diagnosed with Reflux. She too spits up all of the time. I took her to a Gastrointerologist. He put her on prevacid. I was breastfeeding though. She is now 6 mos and I think although I should not jinx it she is atarting to taper off now that she is on food. I have just begun transitioning to formula as well. Here are my thoughts of the AR formula. It is the same as if you put rice cereal in the bottle and everything i read, it said younger than 3 months was bad. Also, it is very constipating. I would try the Enfamil Gentlease. I personally have switched to Nestle Good Start and my daughter is doing well on it.

Good luck. Also, you are NOT over feeding your child.

Don't feel bad, I'm 21 years old and having the same exact problem, the only difference is that I was breastfeeding in the beginning, my milk supply was slow and low and I couldn't keep up with my daughter so I had to being using formula which was the biggest mistake of my life. Breastfeeding was great because there weren't any spit-ups. I went to the Pediatrician and he said the same exact thing. I switched her milk "5 times" and I'm still having no luck. I'm to the point as if I am ready to see another Pediatrician and see what they'll tell me because I need more results. I'm beginning to think that my baby is Lactose intolerate. Some other moms may relate to that too.....  So believe it or not, don't feel bad. I would always cry because my baby was crying and it still doesn't make things better. So stay posititve!!!!!
