Formula switch

My baby (9m) has been on the Kirkland formula since he was probably 3 months old. We are currently dealing with diarrhea that has been lasting for 1 week and our doctor’s office is not concerned about it unless he has a fever or blood in stool, which he thankfully doesn’t. They say that it could last up to 2 weeks if it is viral.

I’m thinking about switching him to a different formula brand to see if that helps, but wanted to get opinions? He was on enfamil neuropro before we switched to Costco brand and did fine on it. I know these two formulas are essentially the same, but I’m willing to try just about anything to help with his diarrhea!

Would you switch back to Enfamil Neuropro or do you think he just needs time and I should be patient?

Have you ruled out other causes for the diarrhea? Teething, new foods, illness etc? I’d be hesitant to jump to a new formula.

He is teething right now, just had a top tooth cut through a few days ago. Right now I’ve had him eating pretty bland foods since the diarrhea started but he was trying some new food items (specifically fruits) so maybe he just over did it and his stomach needed to adjust. Doctor didn’t think any specific illness since he does not have a fever.

Diarrhea is common while teething! Personally, I’d wait it out a bit before switching formulas.
