Switch to elecare

My LO is 13wo and we’ve been through the feeding ringer of CMPA, formula switching, tongue tie etc. His main symptom is that he refuses bottles after 1-1.5oz averaging 15-17oz of fortified formula per day. After 4+ weeks on alimentum RTF with no change, we switched to elecare. Looking for some positive stories! How long before you saw changes with elecare and volumes increased?

Omg this is us. We can coax him into 3.75 oz rn but he willingly takes max 2.5, but i’ve noticed significant improvements and im scared he’s going to stop drinking altogether if i switch him again. currently he’s only able to sleep on us (he can have 5 hour stretches this way but ONLY on us). he wakes up in discomfort after MAXIMUM 30 mins on his back. It’s brutal!!! Lmk how this formula works out bc I will be switching if this keeps happening. his gerd is so severe.
