formula for suplementing??

Someone commented on my last post that there is formula made for suplementing? I dont want to use a formula that will upset my babies stomach. I had pyloric stenosis so i want to be cautious of what i feed him, in case he gets that too. Whats really easy on the stomach?? Im mainly breast feeding but i want to use formula in public.

All the companies make formulas for supplementing moms. Enfamil, Similac, and Gerber Goodstart. I plan on using the Gerber Goodstart for supplementing with my child, from my experience a lot of babies tolerate the Gerber products really well...
The sensitive formulas are all designed for certain things. Similac makes two different ones, a sensitive AR which is for spit up, and a regular sensitive for fussiness and gas.
If you do decide to add formula keep in mind it can take baby a few days to adjust. Usually its recommended to stay on a formula for at least 7 days (before switching) to see how baby does because it can take them that long to adjust to something new.

My daughter is on enfamil prosobee.  It's easy on the stomach.  She has acid reflux and is allergic to milk.

They gave me isomil at the hospital fir supplementing. Its the soy similac. Bc my son kept spitting uo the advance similac that they gave him originally bc he wasn't latching on bc of his gestation al age (35w at the time). But now that were at home WIC has him on gerber good start soy which he does better on than the isomil, but he's starting to latch better so might be able to completely boobfeed him soon

My daughter couldnt handel breast milk she would always spit it back up, so i tried similac with the blue lid and it worked perfect for her. I believe similac makes a suplementing formula i think its a seafoam color if im not mistaken.
