switching formula
I'm thinking about switching her from enfamil AR to smilac for spit up and seeing if it makes a difference. She starts having a hard time popping for a few days its like hard balls then she is fine for a few days, and she is starting to spit up a little more then she has been (no its not acid reflex).
Now on to my question, how exactly should I go about switching? Do I do it all at once do I start with like one bottle a day with similac then increase it till all her bottle are it? Ah any advice is welcome!

My son had very bad GERD and was literally like the exorcist when it came to spitting up, he was so bad that you would have to change your clothes or use a towel as a burp rag haha. He was placed on meds and they seemed to help a little bit. He eventually got better, although the reflux still hangs around, but at about 7 months is when the spitting up died down. We tried everything as well, and the AR Lipil made him horribly constipated. We had to dilute them with prune juice as per his doctor, and we also made every bottle with chamomile tea as it helped to calm his tummy.
One thing that seemed to help us is burping every 2 ounces. It made it so that he didn't have as much to burp up. It wasn't drastic, but it helped and any help when they're that bad is much needed lol. We, too, tried the Similac and it was no better than the AR. My suggestion is to just keep him on the AR instead of irritating his little tummy more. Of course, that's merely my suggestion and I make no judgement on what decision you feel is best for your little lovey.
I got one thing of the similac to see how it works for her, but still unsure if I wanna switch her. She has 2oz of juice mixed with 2oz of water about every 2 days but I think I'm gonna do it everyday
