Talk to the nurse at your pediatricians office. They used to give us a bunch of samples. They usually have the liquid ones in the office. It is so expensive so get it where you can. My husband used to call it the Johnny Walker Blue label of formula.
I have to be honest with you, my son was on it for about 3 months and it did nothing. He continued to spit up constantly until we finally asked our ped if we could switch to something else since we were paying a premium for this formula that did nothing. His issues were due to reflux though so a different situation than yours.
As has been stated numerous times, it smells putrid. There are no words but after about a month, you become numb to it. Make sure when you wash yours or LO's clothes, you do so in hot water if they've spit up.
What did u end up switching DS too?

We switched to gerber good start which was previously nestle good start supreme and I was told by numerous people that was the best for reflux. There was a long adjustment period but his spit up has lessened.
It's a rough road being a parent. We have no idea what we're doing and can only listen to what the white coats are telling us along with the suggestions of our other mothers. Trust your instinct and if you feel as if these suggestions are not helping your child, speak up and do what is right for you and your LO. We are their only advocates.
