formula babies

What brand of formula do you give to your baby?

Do you give the liquid or powder?

Re: formula babies

I give DD Good Start.

I use whatever is on sale and whatever is the cheapest with the formula checks.

Going between RTF and powder hasn't made any difference on her.

Re: formula babies

Gentlease and it only comes in powder.

When I used Similac, if I switched back and forth between RTF and Powder, DS would not handle it well. But if I used JUST powder or JUST RTF he was fine.

They started on enfamil Lipil when they were born but spit up a lot so i moved them to enfamil A.R. with Lipil and that worked like a charm. They only get Ready to drink formula. I found the powder made them incredibly gassy, but i do use it once in awhile when we are out and about.

We used Similac Advance in powder form for about 10 months. Then I bought Target brand formula (which is similar to Enfamil) and she did fine on it and it was sooo omuch cheaper! Chat Icon

Re: formula babies

Matthew is on Enfamil Lipil and Christopher is on Enfamil Nutramigen, both are ready made.
I tried the powder with Matthew but made him constipated, but do use it now and then

Re: formula babies

I use Sam's version of Enfamil Lipil. Can't beat the price,,,20.00 for a 50 oz can and it is the same EXACT thing as the name brand.

Re: formula babies

we you Similac Isomil (soy formula) powder. It is 27.99 in BJ's and they always have $4 off coupons in their books - and then an additional $5 off from the coupons that Similac sends. (this is also for regular Similac advance). that container is much bigger then what they have in other stores.

My son has been on Similac Advance with Iron since he was born. I have only used the ready to feed. I get $5 off coupons in the mail all the time which helps when I'm buying the cases.
I tried for one day the powder and he was soo gassy and uncomfortable the whole day that I've never tried the powder again. Maybe I will try for one day again since he's older but neither of us were too happy when I was trying feeding him with the powder.
