Babies: 9 - 12 Months

Generic formula?

In a comparison between the Sam's Club brand and Enfamil, there appears to be no difference.  But for some reason I could not bring myself to buy it.  I feel like I am cheaping out on my baby or something. 

Tell me it is the same and that my baby won't notcie so I can get over my irrational fear of this.  I buy everything else generic!

Re: Generic formula?

  • We switched from Similac to Target brand around six months.  The only difference is that we're saving about ten dollars a can!!  Make the switch.  Your baby will never know.

  • I agree with previous person...we used up all the free Similac Advance and now use the comparable Target formula. Its super cheap and in my opinion shakes up better (less clumpy). Make the switch!! :)

    I breastfeed but supplement with formula at daycare.  They provide Parent's Choice (walmart brand) so that's what we use.  Same thing as Similac, but doesn't have the name brand.  You can't sell a formula that doesn't conform to the FDA guidelines, so it doesn't matter which one you pick as long as it sits well in DC's tummy.

  • We use Sam's brand.  Ds didn't seem to notice the switch.  We save more than half.  You aren't cheaping out on your kid - you are being fiscally responsible!  :)
  • Thanks ladies.  I need to get my crazy under control!  We will use up our enfamil and then next time we are going to do the Sam's Club brand.

    Ditto to this, Target brand has a side by side comparison of the ingredients...they are exact.  Like the extra $40 I save a month.

  • I have used the sam's brand almost exclusively since DS was a few weeks old.  The only time I didn't was when DH's aunt bought us a few cans of Enfamil for DS's christmas gift.  There is no difference in the mixture, and you really can't beat the size and price of the sam's brand.
