Let's just hope it continues, wonder if her tummy just needed to stretch a little as she's been used to breast milk or maybe the new formula is a little more gentle on her tummy.
time will tell

Thanks for all the advice

Well, turns out those few feeds were just luck.

After a visit to the doctors this morning as she has a gunky eye, she thinks she has slight reflux, she's gaining weight well tho and we are just to monitor her weight gain.

She did recommend a thicker formula - any advice on this?

For mild/ slight reflux thickened formulas can work really well. Depending on where you are (UK?) will depend on what's available. In the UK there are reflux formulas available in supermarkets - Aptamil do one, but the Easy Digest/ Comfort formulas are also thicker than normal first formulas so that could be good to try first (can't remember what you are using now, sorry!).

My two refluxers both had Enfamil AR (Enfamil AA I *think* in the US) which is available on prescription in the UK but can also be bought OTC at pharmacies.

If you do switch you will need a much faster teat, even if she seems to be doing ok it will be easier for her with the fastest teat available as I learnt
