Q.

Hello doctor, What is the difference between stage 1 and 2 formula. Does changing from stage 1 to 2 cause gas in babies. I have been giving Similac IQ+ to my baby since his birth and now since he is 6 months old I have started stage 2 for him and he seems to be very gassy since then. It has been only 8-10 hrs. He was good in the morning but he started feeling very uncomfortable and passed lot of gas and was crying alot as he passed urine during night.

A. The composition of formula changes from stage 1 to stage 2. Yes it is a little hard to digest as compared to stage1 formula. But the baby should get used to it in some time. Make sure to use anti-colic feeding bottle and try massage baby's tummy in clockwise and anti-clockwise direction. U can also use mamaearth's gas release roll on.
