What type of formula do you give your baby?

What formulas have you tried and which one works best for your little one?

Re: What type of formula do you give your baby?

We are still using the regular Enfamil w/ Lipil that the hospital recommended we use. I thought maybe she was allergic to it and that's why she broke out on her face but the doc said no so we're still using it.

Re: What type of formula do you give your baby?

First, he was on Enfamil Lipil w/Iron bc that's what they used at the hospital. But he spit up so much. Next, we switched to Enfamil AR bc it has cereal in it and it was supposed to reduce spitting up. It still didn't agree with him. Then, the doctor told us to Similac Advance, it was better but he was still spitting up a lot. Finally, I tried Similac Isomil Advance Soy and it made a world of difference. It was trial and error but we finally got it right.

Re: What type of formula do you give your baby?

We started with Similac Advance then switched to Isomil (soy) when she was about 4 weeks due to colic, mild reflux and a milk intolerance. She is now 14 months and tolerated the switch to whole milk at a year with no problems.

I started with Similac Advance with Iron. After a couple months, I switched to Similac Alimentum (dr approval- due to colic, reflux, digestive issues) and life became much better (except for the colic) but much more expensive. Chat Icon

My lactation consultant recommended it. We get it out here at a store called Vitamin Cottage. You can also order it online.
I just like knowing that its antibiotic and hormone free.
