It didn't go well for us

Our son started using Enfamil Thickened when he was about 4 months old and it was great. A few months ago my husband wanted to switch him to another formula since he felt he didn't need a thickened formula anymore. I was hesitant to do the switch, "If it isn't broken, don't fix it." Anyway, a little... over a month ago we slowly transitioned him to Enfamil A+ 2 and that's when all of our trouble began. Feeding him became such a struggle, he either had no interest or he'd take 2 sips and cry. He gradually stopped drinking altogether and was constantly irritable and seemed to be in pain (writhing about, arching his back, screaming). It was very unpleasant and we felt so awful for him. Finally last week I suggested we try switching back to Enfamil Thickened and like magic we have our old, happy-go-lucky, baby back. I'm not saying that Enfamil A+ 2 is bad since I know it works wonders for other babies but I wanted to share our story in case, on the off chance, someone else experiences this too. I think if he had been on Enfamil A+, transitioning to A+ 2 would have gone much better. He's 10 months old and eating solids, which is why my husband thought we should maybe switch him to Enfamil A+ 2. We've decided to keep him on the thickened formula until he is 1 and then transition him to cow's milk, see how that goes.
