Babies fuss, cry, spit up, and get gassy. When they have these symptoms frequently, it’s up to their parents to figure out what’s wrong. Often the first place parents will look for clues is the baby’s diet.
In their quest to soothe a fussy baby, many parents try changing formulas, assuming that the symptoms are caused by a formula intolerance. Up to half of all formula-fed babies are switched to a new formula in the first six months of life. Yet research finds that only about 2% to 15% of babies actually have a formula intolerance.
So how do you know whether your fussy baby is really having formula problems? Here’s how to recognize the signs of formula intolerance, and when to consider switching formulas.
