I just started giving my baby formula during the day while I work since pumping was too hard at work.

I started giving him similac sensitive (got it for free) but have since finished it. I decided I would try the J&J sunrise since it is cholov yisrael and was the cheapest at the grocery store. I started it on friday.
On shabbos and today (sunday) he has been pretty cranky. Unsettled, stomache ache (he has a lot of gas and pushes his stomach out) and he also doesn't finish the full bottle unless he is starving.
I am wondering if this is because of the formula, and since it is not sensitive formula.

Does anyone have any experience with the target up and up sensitive (Supposedly like enfamil gentlease)? OU-D doesn't matter to me I just heard it is one of the cheapest after Costco. Is it really just as good? does spending more mean it is better for the baby?

any experience? or advice? With ds1 I didn't formula feed so this is all new to me.

I also use the similac sensitive. If u sign up for their coupons u get $5 off each can which helps a lot. After several attempts of different stuff I went right back to that.

I also gave the j & j sunrise a try and found my baby being fussy all day when I gave it to him so I stick to similac advance which I'm very happy with
