Is there a difference between Alimentum and Alimentum Advance?

No, they changed the label and took off the work "Advance"

I know the difference between simliac and simliac advance is that the advance has DHA in it.

I will check the website for you.

"Similac® Alimentum® Hypoallergenic Formula

For food allergies and colic due to protein sensitivity

Some babies have long crying spells and cannot be easily comforted. This excessive crying or fussiness is sometimes called colic and may be due to a sensitivity to the protein in the formula. Other symptoms such as severe diarrhea, rashes and even sleeping problems, can also be caused by protein sensitivity.

While sensitivity to the protein in both milk-based and soy-based formulas is uncommon, it's good to know there is a trusted alternative. If your babies digestive system is especially sensitive and requires an extra-gentle formula, ask your doctor about Similac Alimentum.

Similac Alimentum starts to relieve colic symptoms* in most babies in just 24 hours .

Similac Alimentum is easy for sensitive babies to digest because its protein is broken down into tiny pieces to virtually eliminate allergic reactions in most babies who are allergic to cows milk protein.

As with all feeding decisions during the first year, consult your babies health care professional."


It's weird cause it says Alimentum, then when you click on it, the side bar says Alimentum Advance--I'm confused too, but they seem the same.

It's really annoying. They did a recall on the old packing because of the "new look" which took the word Advance off the bottle and enlarged the word Similac. They even changed the color. I called just to confirm and they are the same exact thing. It was actually hard to find them last week babies r us, target, stop & shop, CVS were all sold out and I was told Similac recalled the product to replace with the new look bottles.
