Which we did… And when she called us with the results she stated that she found traces of blood in his poop that means that he allergic to the cow protein which she states that is totally normal. So not only? the Dr give us meds for his acid reflux for our child she also made us change his formula to Enfamil Lipil Nutramigen with Enflora.

4 Days in, and the baby was allot more fussy and was crying like if something was killing him and was only drinking 2 ½ oz no more. It wasn’t your normal crying it was something totally different so we knew something was wrong. It mostly happen when he was trying to take a poop and the way he cries it sounds like it was burning him. This all started when we started to give him the formula she advise to put him on. So we had to make a decision and we went to Similac Sensitive because we did not want to feed him anymore of the formula the Dr order us to put him in.
