ok i hope you mean milk powder specially made for babies......normal milk powder should not be made up for such a young baby at all! your wife can continue to breastfeed even after she returns to work- she can express milk at work and store it in an insulated bag or fridge and keep it for baby the next day. Baby is most likely vomiting because their little tummy isnt used to the strange stuff after having such lovely breastmilk. if you must give formula (baby milk powder) just try a little at a time before each breast feed and gradually increase the amount of formula. I hope your wife will continue to breastfeed as well as human milk is the very best for babies and is uncontaminated (look at what happened in China recently).We are giving powder milk to our 40 days old baby but he is omitting it after some time. what is a problem?
the problem is that artificial milk digests *very* different from breast milk and your baby's system cannot make the switch from one to the other.





breast fed babies also have much more powerful mouths than bottle-fed so when they're given a bottle, they often take too much, too fast, and it overloads the stomach.





instead of formula, your wife should pump extra breast milk to be given while she's at work.
It sounds like colic. You need to burp your baby more or take your baby to the doctor and see what they say. My daughter was like this after going onto formula and it turned out she had colic. The longer you leave it the worse it will get so get to doctor today or tomorrow.
Don't you love asking a question about formula, and then people have to jump down your throat as to why you aren't breastfeeding, which is completly irrelevant??





Anyway, it sounds a little bit like an intolerance to something, or it could just be plain old reflux, or even posetting.
I assume you mean formula and not just powdered cow's milk? He could be drinking too much since bottles have a faster flow rate than breastfeeding, he also could have an allergy to the formula, you could try a different brand. Good Luck
either your giving your baby too much milk or he/she isnt used to it, it will take sometime.





tell your wife to try pumping her milk out into bottles.
My daughter vomited formula because on a protein allergy and had to be put on hypoallergenic formula.
maybe you are overfeeding your baby.she can still breastfeed after work.good luck
