formula and acne?
« on: April 08, 2009, 12:06:10 pm »
Hi there!

I'm needing to wean my breastfed baby soon and so we periodically will bring in formula.  A few weeks ago he spit up a lot more when he had it so we waited a bit and gave him a bottle again yesterday.  MUCH better on the digestive situation (although he was up half the night, maybe related?) but I notice he has acne again too -- baby acne, little pimples.  Seems the only time he gets it is when he has the formula.

Are these reasons to try a different brand?  Or just hang tight with what we have?

Thanks!

We're trying Similac Advance.  The FDA came out with a study in the fall saying most the formulas have a chemical in it... starts with an M... so Similac wasn't on the list which is why we're using it.  I hate to have to change but may have to.

Its just his face that I can tell, and head.  He doesn't wear hats but Shiv, my SIL had the same issue with her son and hats  ;)

Sudocrem says it can be used on acne, worth a shot?
