Thanks for your query to HCM.I understand your concern.According to me,the baby might be intolerable (i.e digestive tract immature to digest milk solids) to Lactogen 1 formula which would have caused constipation,bloating etc.In my opinion usually by 5 to 6 months,the child becomes tolerable to infant formulas.I suggest you to consult with your pediatrician for another good alternative infant formula like Enfamil a+ stage1 for your child if breast feed is insufficient.Hope this information helps you.Take care.
