hypoallergenic formula??? HELP.....

me2007
My 2 month old baby has been on Enfamil Nutramigen now for about 9 days because she was having really bad colics and gas pains so my doctor recommended this formula. She was so good for the first 6 days then it all when downhill. On Friday she starting getting those crying spells like before when she was having colic pains. I called the Enfamil company and asked if the formula had any side effects like gas or poop issues and they said no because its hypoallergenic. SO, we gave her a little bit of tylenol on friday and it helped. On Saturday she was pretty good until about 8:00 pm when she started her crying spells again. She was like that all night until this afternoon about 12:30 or so. We decided to give her a little more tylenol and it helped again. She has also developed a diaper rash can this be because of the formula? I don't know what else can be wrong? She is going to see her ped doc on tuesday but in the meantime, I'm just worried for her. Has anyone else had this experience and can she be allergic to hyopallergenic milk, is that even possible??

It wouldn't be a milk allergy, my little guy has that too..The hypo-allergenic version, has no lactose or milk protein..
Do you still think it is gas pains?? Ovol works great for that..Nathan had terrible gas pains after his surgery and the ovol made a huge difference..
I hope you figure whatever it is out and your little munchkin feels better soon..Hang in there! You will figure it out!! Big hugs!!
let us know what happens
I don't want to make you feel bad or down but our baby used to scream every single night from 5-9pm, no matter what we did. We just did our best to sooth him. We were lucky enough to have help from my Mother - which helped keep our sanity - since he barely slept and we had to feed him every hour and half for the first 2 months. So we were all running on no sleep and constant round the clock with the baby. There were times where he would just scream at the top of his lungs for hours and there was no real reason for it.
Also, if you think your baby is having gas issues, look into the type of bottles you are using. We started out using Playtex Drop Ins which were HORRIBLE - it was like the baby was sucking air and it gave him such terrible gas pains! Once we switched to Ventaire, it was like magic. We are now using Dr. Brown's - they are supposed to be the best for gas and colic.
Don't worry - just have the baby checked out and you do what you can. Try to get some help if you can! You're baby is going to be just fine. I hope the baby feels better and hang in there! This will pass!
it could be reflex (my kids are on zantac), gas (give mylicone) or allergy to milk (use soy formula).
really call the dr. good luck.
