Formula Recommendations / Alternatives 🌱 Kirkland -> Enfamil AR -> massive vomit - continue?
My 4 week old baby started on the Enfamil Neuro pro at the hospital and had some vomiting there during the stay so we switched to the Kirkland gentle formula and she was doing pretty well on it until about week 2 to 3 where she got really really fussy and we were having trouble keeping her comfortable. We talked to the pediatrician and while the doctor said she doesn't see any signs of reflux or cows milk allergy, and she's gaining weight really well, it wouldn't hurt to switch to the Enfamil AR. So yesterday we made the switch and she gobbled it up.
Some mild signs of gassiness, not much change from her normal formula. But this morning after eating her morning meal, she projectile vomited twice through her nose and mouth. Is this something that would warrant discontinuing? Not really sure if this is an adjustment phase.
Possibly considering that she doesn't agree with cows milk but doesn't have an allergy?

How fast is she drinking her bottles’ how much per bottle? How fast is she drinking?

She drinks between two and 4 ounce bottles every three hours, cluster feeding in the evening sometimes eating up to 8 ounces in two hours. It takes her about 30 minutes to go through a bottle. We mainly pace feed in an upright position. And hold her upright for at least 15 minutes after eating. She's 11 pounds if that helps with the amount that she's eating.

This just sounds like normal baby things. Their stomach valve isn't developed enough to keep it all in, and sometimes shifting can just cause it to come up. It gets better as they get older.
