Hi... I understand your concern. I do not think the problem is with your your breast milk or any of the formula feeding. I feel that your child is having gastroesophageal reflux or regurgitation, which is very common in this age group. As he is not gaining weight properly he will definitely require evaluation and anti reflux therapy. I suggest you get in touch with your pediatrician regarding this.
