What formula is everyone using for their newborns?
Hospital gave DS Similac Advance and so far he seems to be okay with it...I was just wondering what everyone else is using.

We started Zach on Similac Advance but he has reflux/colitis so we had to switch him to Similac Alimentum.

Kaydyn started on Similac Advance, but she was very uncomfortable and very gassy on it so switched to Similac Sensitive.

I gave both my DDs Similac Advance with Iron since that's what the hospital used--no issues.

Re: What formula is everyone using for their newborns?
DD ended up on Similac Advance.. and was on it for the whole first year. I saw that they have a new Similac that is organic though.. wonder if its worth it?

Re: What formula is everyone using for their newborns?
We started on Similac Advanced and then switched to Similac Sensitive. She was constipated and very fussy. DD became a different baby after we changed it

Re: What formula is everyone using for their newborns?
We noticed a difference within a day of switching her from the Similac Advance to the Similac Sensitive. She was a much happier, much more content baby and she didn't sound like she ate a boatload of tacos

Re: What formula is everyone using for their newborns?
They used Similac Advance for us.... but after a couple of days of being home, Kristina was miserable. Doc wound up switching us to Gentlease, and then I transitioned her over to Similac Sensitive.

Re: What formula is everyone using for their newborns?
DD started on Similac Advance, had terrible gas so we switched to Similac Sensitive, she still had a ton of gas and spit ups, so we switched to Enfamil Gentlease and it has made a world of difference for her.

Re: What formula is everyone using for their newborns?
OK...ready for this...
Rylan started on Similac Advance in the hospital but before we left they switched him to Similac Soy. The soy gave him HORRIBLE gas so we switched to Similac Sensitive which took it away. He was very colicky so the ped said I could try Gentlease....he refused to drink it. Went back to Sensitive. Then we tried Nutramigen...he refused to drink it...went back to sensitive. We are now on Goodstart...he's more gassy than on the sensitive but seems alot less cranky.

Nestle Good Start. DD was EBF until about 3 months when I went back to work and she had no problems on the Good Start.

That's what were given at the hospital as well and now 11 weeks later, we are still using. It's perfect for DS.

Re: What formula is everyone using for their newborns?
Christopher used Similac Advanced for 8 weeks and then we switched to Gentlease and used that til he was off formula at 11 months.
BTW, anyone who uses Sim Sensitive, I have an unopened qt of RTF to give away!
