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.
