Formula questions again

MrsAB1316

S uses Parent's Choice Gentle which is the generic for Enfamil Gentlease.   I know that I can move back and forth between PC and Enfamil without any problems.  Can I do the same with Similac Sensitive?  It's the "Fussiness and Gas" formula just like PC Gentle and Gentlease.

You can compare the labels in the store, but I believe Similac and Enfamil use different ratios of their respective ingredients. Some babies might do ok with the change, but I wouldn't want to try on my kid. Baby bowel issues are no fun!

Our pedi is okay with switching between generic and name brand but not between different name brands.

This! I was told switching between brand (enfamil) is better than switching to a different brand completely. It messes their system up. I know someone who had to do that and the baby was so fussy becuase they couldn't find the right formula for her and kept switching ( Could NOT imagine having to do that with my LO)

Maybe I have a different outlook because H is a puke kid but she was able to go from Simlac to Emfamil without issues. Or if she did, it was masked by her already acting up system.

There was no difference that I noticed with the brand name switch.
