Does Giving Similac Advance Lead To Gastric In Infants?

Hi, my son is 2 months old and he is completely on a formula feed as I did not get breast feed sufficient to feed him. He is on Similac Advance but he seems little gassy. Can I know any other formula milk which will be easy to digest? Or any remedy to prevent gas..

Hello
Similac advance itself does not causes gastritis or increased gas production. The bottle feeding and inappropriate burping is the main cause of increased gas production.Your baby needs burping in the mid of feed and in the end also.Tummy massage also helps.
Even then if the problem persists you can try switching the formula(there is not any specific formula to decrease the gas) and probiotics may be needed under physician supervision.
