Any colicky breastfed baby is in danger of being changed over to formula because the mother is wondering 'why is my baby fussy?' She's beginning to suspect it might be her milk causing the colic.
My advice would be 'Don't make the change because it won't help and your baby will miss out on getting the antibodies in your milk. You're successfully breastfeeding so be happy about that.'
Formula isn't a baby colic remedy and isn't as good. It won't help with calming a fussy baby. After 6 weeks of breastfeeding my colicky newborn I made this mistake myself years ago and I'd guess thousands of mothers do every day.
While a mother's breastfeeding it's very easy and quick to stop baby crying and simply cure colic once and for all. This is the ideal way so mothers need to keep right on breastfeeding while they learn more.
Formula fed babies suffering from colic can receive help as well.
It just might not so quick. It could take a couple of days instead of just a few hours because of getting the quantity and frequency of the missing nutrient right.
I really believe there's just one cause for colic and one home treatment for colic that's effective. Babies in their hundreds all got quick relief because the same thing caused their colic and so the same treatment cured it.
Much is written about 'colic causes and cures' but my learning and experience indicate differently.
Colic seems to have a single cause, otherwise why have hundreds of babies supplied with the same nutrient recovered from colic very quickly? Doesn't it seem to follow that hundreds more babies would get the same benefit?
The cause of baby colic? It seems to me the pregnant woman's slightly faulty diet caused baby to have colic or a higher need for certain nutrient(s) in both mother and baby caused it. Its easily curable, in a few hours when you know how.
Colicky babies easily become colic-free, but first the parents are the ones who don't find it easy because they have to accept that this remedy does work!
God's plan included the ability to nourish babies while in the womb through the placenta and umbilical cord and then out of the womb with fresh, perfect temperature milk for the beginning of their lives, for as many months as we (or baby) wish.
The ultimate, perfect milk for newborns! Or it should have been, so what starts the problem?
