Greetings
infant experience frequent loose stools that seem to worsen when consuming regular formula, which could indicate a sensitivity or intolerance to specific milk proteins or lactose. While Similac Isomil is a soy-based option and Similac Total Comfort uses partially hydrolyzed proteins for easier digestion, switching formulas should only be done under the direct supervision of your pediatrician.
