formula - spilling

I've spoken about this in the Oct thread, but am keen on a few more opinions. My baby has been fully bf until the past couple of weeks when I've starting introducing formula. She now takes about 200ml a day, over a couple of feeds.

Anyway, the problem is she has become spilly since starting on formula (Nurture Gold). Usually within 30 mins of taking it. I also see her swallowing during the day, which suggests it may be coming up.

My question is, is this a normal reaction to starting formula, or does it indicate an intolerance and should I try a different formula type?

Would value opinions please. Thanks!

Tom was really spilly on S26 but better on Nuture so it maybe worth trying some others to see if its better.  Also I heard (and this could be total crap) that the Gold versions are actually harder on their tummies and the good ol bog standard is better.  I think Tom is better without the Gold but it could also be a developmental thing....how do you know

Yep this is what i've heard too. They are much richer etc, particularly for babies under 1 year, and worse again for babies under 6 months.

Edited for spelling.

Thanks for the advice. I think I might try another non-gold brand. Not sure if she'll take it though. Was a major struggle to get her to take formula in the first place

Hmmm, Chloe was like that too but after breastmilk as well as formula... does it happen at all her feeds or just her formula ones? Because if it happens at all the feeds, it may not be the formula, may just be something that happened on it's own (some babies get more spilly as they get a bit older, and then it improves again). If it's just after the formula, maybe try a different formula?

Rowan is mostly breastfed, but on occasions I give her the odd bottle. At 4 mths she was fine on S26 (readymixed in carton) but a month later I fed her the same and she was violently ill, went green and floppy and was dry-retching even after spilling her whole feed). Tried sachets of Nurture plain and she still was ill.   
I don't truly know if it was the formula or a bug as she was originally fine. Pretty sure it was the formula tho as it was on more than one occasion. Also her father doesn't tolerate dairy too well (gas) and his mother told me he was on special formula when he was a baby. My guess is that she developed the intolerance over time.
I now feed her Karicare Goat 2 (6 mths onwards) for those occasional feeds and she's fine on it. She also loves it. I think it tastes a lot more like breastmilk than other formulas. Only problem is it's really expensive- $36!!. When I wean her off the breast I want to give her Organic goat formula which is $20 more again so I've kind of accepted the extra cost

Thomas has the nurture starter - I got told to stay away from the gold as it makes them spilly? I'm just real ultra careful when i burp him - otherwise he powerchucks everywhere!
