My baby is 5 months old is it ok to switch formulas every few weeks to see what suits him as i'm having trouble finding a formula?

Many do: Babies who fuss use their diaphragm muscle to cry and that pushes out the belly. They swallow air when fussing and the combination of gas and a bloated tummy makes many think tummy pain is their problem.Although there are dozens of formulas, the basic 3 are:cow milk based, soy and lactose free.There are some expensive hydrolyzed forms for allergic babies. The fussing may decrease with age with any.
