Re: Formula
If you go to https://www.enfamil.com/app/iwp/enfamil/certificate.do?dm=enf&id=-10732&iwpst=B2C&ls=0&csred=1&r=3455493953 and scroll down, there's a description of all their different formulas and what you'd use them for based on your baby's needs and/or your preferences.
Personally, we're doing Enfamil b/c we got $17 in coupons in the mail & a free can, it's been recommended to us over Similac, and without coupons we were planning on using Target brand, which compares to Enfamil.
For DS, we started with Enfamil because that is what my pediatrician recommended, but switched to Similac. He had horrible reflux and we actually tried many different formula brands and types until we found what worked best for his reflux. He also had problems with constipation and did better on Similac. As far as coupons, both companies will send you numerous coupons if you sign up for them on their websites.
The standard/premiere Enfamil formula now is Enfamil Premium with "triple health guard" which essentially includes DHA/ARA, is iron-fortified, and now with 2 (used to be just one prebio) prebiotics, which help support the growth of healthy normal gut bacteria, and helps baby's immunity in a way that mimics human breastmilk.
Enfamil Lipil does not have prebiotics. In time Premium will replace Enfamil Lipil.
