Throwing up/Introducing formula/allergy concerns.

My lo had 2 oz of earths best at around 3 months and threw it up. Threw up more later on that night but didnt serm upset or gassy etc.
I gave her a few sips of it again about a month later and she was later heaving and we ended up being sent to ER due to her throwing up over and over even after bm, that day. She ended up just fine.
Im afraid to try again but I think I need to and I'd love some advice as to how to do it and how you could tell if there were allergies etc.
I'm not sure if she just didn't like it or if it was too hard on her belly or if it was a reaction.
Im getting low on my supply in the freezer but I'm nervous to try again.
Tia!

Talk to your ped. and see what they recommend. 

My LO was drinking Enfamil Gentlease since birth and at around 4 months, he started to get a rash all over his body. After ruling out eczema, his ped. recommended we use Nutramigen and the very next day his rash was better.

How about starting with a soy based formula? I hear a lot of babies do well with soy formula- especially when their tummies aren't tolerating other formulas.

I wouldn't try Earth's Best again if I were you. A bad reaction twice is enough for me not to try something again. And just because its organic doesn't mean its the best thing for YOUR baby. Nutramigen is milk and soy free and its hypoallergenic (expensive too!) 

Anyway, hope this helps.
