Per the "go ahead" we got from the pedi, we switched J's formula to the Kirkland brand. Reasons being were to cut costs but we didn't want to switch to a brand that wasn't as nutritous. Despite the slight differences, the pedi said that would be fine because J was recieving vitamins from his solid foods now.
After J was on the Kirkland brand for about a week, we noticed him spitting up more and had a bile odor to it. Also, the formula powder had a different smell and flavor then the Enfamil. When we started noticing these changes, we immediately switched back to Enfamil and not going to bother again with a cheaper brand.
I just wanted to share our experience with Kirkland brand just in case others were thinking about switching.
Re: Enfamil vs. Kirkland
We went from Enfamil to UP & UP brand from target. We were able to transition successfully.I was thrilled that is worked because it has significantly cut down our formula cost.
Enfamil: $33 for 34 oz vs. Up and Up which was $20 for 40oz.
