Formula choice for colicky babies?

Formula choice for colicky babies is a sensitive matter because each baby's tolerance is different. The general pediatric view is this:
If a breastfed baby has colic, first, gas-producing foods can be reduced from the mother's diet (onion, garlic, cabbage, broccoli, dairy products, etc.).
If formula is used, some babies may be sensitive to cow's milk protein in standard formulas. In this case, with pediatrician recommendation, switching to partially hydrolyzed or fully hydrolyzed formulas can be considered. Formulas specially designed for colic, containing probiotics (like L. reuteri) in their ingredient list, have also shown benefit in some babies.
However, before changing formula, always consult your pediatrician — unnecessary formula changes can stress baby's digestion further. Formula change alone is not the solution to colic; feeding position, frequent burping, and a calm environment are just as important as the formula choice.
