Generic Formulas

lmimms87

DD has been eating Similac Advance since she was 1 week old (she's now 16 weeks). For cost purposes I have been thinking about switching her to a generic brand formula. Do any of you have experience with any of these brands:
Up & Up - Target
Simply Right - Sam's Club
Parent's Choice - Walmart

Or have any suggestions for other generic brands that are a good transition from Similac?

We switched our LO to Simply Right (Sam's Club) brand from Similac Advance and he has done great! We actually found he has less gas now. The only difference I have found is it takes a few more pumps of the Dr. Brown Mixing Pitcher to get it fully mixed in with the warm water.

we switched from the similac ready to feed liquid directly to the costco brand powder (which is identical to the similac advance powder).

i know you didn't post that as an option. i don't have direct experience with the other generics you have listed.

i do agree with starting out with whichever store brand comes from the store that is the most convenient for you.

We went from Similac Advance to Costco's Kirkland formula. No problems. Funny thing is DD had a reaction when we tried to use a sample can of Advance as we were transitioning her to milk. Costco's formula is the closest to Advance, they have a comparison on the side of the can.

I use generic brands and we've had no problems.

We used multiple formulas and the only one that didn't upset her tummy was the Kirkland brand. And lucky for us it was WAY cheaper then the name brands.

I have heard very good things about generics. My girl doesn't tolerate it because of some sort of ingredient (haven't figured out which one yet), but I have friends with babies that do just fine. And a maternity nurse at my OB/GYN office said that generics are just as good.
