I really don't feel like it is the formula that is causing this because he had this problem before the formula (I could be wrong). My question is: will giving him the apple cider vinegar help a baby this young and how should I give it to him if so? (bottle? & what volume) Are there any other recommendations you may have. Thank you for your time and help.

If you don't want to try to feed it to him, which could prove difficult at any age, try applying the apple cider vinegar to the bottom of the feet with a cotton ball. The vinegar will absorb through the skin and should help calm the stomach. It is also good for diarhea. It dries in about a minute or two. I use this whenever my family gets sick. I have used it for food poisoning, flu, gastric overingulgence. It has worked wonders. Try it and see how it works.Replied By Deloris (Desmoines, Iowa) on 11/21/2009
You might want to see a doctor about a condition called (as I remember it) Hypyloric stenosis. From birth my son would throw up most of his formula. Even so, he grew at the normal rate. I knew the throwing up was not normal, but I could not get a Dr to take me seriously. One night I took him to the emergency room and as he was laying on the examine table nude, a Pediatrician on loan from Germany walked into the room and said "I can tell you right now what is going on with that baby" He put my hand on my baby's stomach and I felt a lump about the size of a ping pong ball move across his stomach. It was blocking the opening of his stomach. Part of his formula was getting past the blockage and the rest came up like a cup overflowed. He had the recommended surgery and was fine

imo it is the milk...haven't seen a baby yet that can tolerate it. if ou truly want to still breastfeed it is not too late. i have used a herbal formula in the past from a herbalist in toronto...my milk supply was off the chart within 24 hours- i was stunned. from my research diet can play a roll in low milk supply as well as the baby not nursing often enough. wheat & dairy impacted my milk and made my baby vomit all the time...til i figured it out. m 3rd baby never ever spits up- he's 10 mo, until i eat something with wheat or dairy in it. i am guessing you ate dairy while you were breastfeeding? now ou are still feeding dairy. this is classic case of dairy reaction. ps. my first child was so small, wouldn't grow etc. NOW i know why. he does not eat dairy,wheat,sugar,yeast, soy or corn- he eats tonnes of salads and veggies and he is 8 now and growing well! still small for his age, wish i'd figured this out sooner!
dr. jack newman in toronto canada is THE world expert on breastfeeding- he can help you with the low milk supply as well as helping you to resume nursing after having stopped. he is a genius and helps women all over the world with major obstacles.
best of luck
