first, he doesnt need to be on stage 2 formula. stage 1 formula is best. stage 2 formula is designed for fully formula fed babies who are draining 8oz bottles but who are still hungry and who are too young to be weaned. stage 2 formula takes them longer to digest and is designed to keep them feeling fuller for longer, it may be that it is too much for him (it is casein rather than whey based) and may be contributing to his sickness.

it is normal for them to bring milk back - it is called possetting and sometimes they bring back a little, sometimes a lot. perfectly normal for them to do it - usually due to them taking more milk than they actually need. However, i would say that it may also be that formula is harder to digest and if he has been used to only breastmilk up until now that it may take his tummy a while to get used to formula. speak to your health visitor for reassurance.
