A member asked:
My 2 months old is on gerber soothe after similac sensitive, he still pushes to pass gasses & poo, turn face red, not conatipated, is it the formula?

Unlikely an issue: Infants swallow air when they feed which makes them gassy.Their lack of muscle strength makes them grunt & groan & push when they stool using their breathing muscle to assist.This is all normal at this age.As long as the stool is soft & the kid is not fussy all day, the chances of this being a formula issue is remote.
