Crying after feeds: Babies may have formula intolerance from lactose as well as from protein sensitivity. Some babies need hypoallergenic formula rather than just lactose free formula Reflux may cause fussiness with feeds. With reflux infants cry with feeds, arches their back and spits up with feeds although some cases of reflux may not causes spitting up

Could be formula: If your child has had blood in the stool's or mucus it could be a protein sensitivity. If he is just fussy it could be a little colic. If the Similac sensitive does not seem to help you might try some Alimentum. This is a hypoallergenic formula.

Formula intolerance: changing formula repeatedly will only confuse the situation there can be babies allergic to milk or soy or both better to start with a predigested formula so protien cannot irritate the baby's stomach and once in control then try a new formula after giving it atleast a week tlo work formula
