if you are using the powder, maybe try the ready to feed?
I would definitely try switching formula to see if baby is happier

Regular Similac is very heavy. My babies couldn't handle it. I switched them to Similac sensitive tummy, they did much better on that.
Also make sure to burp baby during & after feeding.

I am an old granny whose youngest is well past formula (grade school) my experience with CY similar was very bad. Idk where you are located but similac total comfort was wonderful for my fussier ones and kendamil worked well for the less fussy ones with the bonus of being CY Aar the time

I don’t have experience with materna, but kendamil worked well for my fussy daughter and my fussy einikel

Yes kendamil is way lighter on the stomach, similac is a very heavy formula you can see the difference in what they throw up, when my kids were on similac the spit up was smelly and dark and stained their clothes, kendamil is way lighter and doesn't smell

Kendamil Cy online only.
It's the only Cy formula that is good. If non Cy is an option, than there are plenty of good formulas out there.

online is easier!
Is it a powder? Can anyone share a link? No clue what I'm looking for. I see several Kandamil containers in various colors but don't see anyone saying CY on it.

Similac sensitive first ingredient is corn syrup. I don’t know how people can feed that to a baby!!
I use Similac 360 total care and baby is doing very well in it

Search the word Kendamil on this site and you’ll find the link. It’s something like kosher trader.

The CY version is made in England.

ETA found the link - https://koshertrader.co.uk/pro.....roel/
