Enfamil Gentlease vs. Similac Sensitive

Has anyone had experience with BOTH formulas?  Which did you start LO out on, and which did you switch to--and why?  What has your experience been?

TIA.

DX: High FSH/DOR
It took 44 cycles, just over 3 years, 6 failed IUI's in MI, and 1 round of IVF at CCRM to get our BFP!

Beta #1 (9dp5dt) = 206, Beta #2 (11dp5dt) = 438
1st u/s @ 6w5d = 11/11/11 = ONE little bean! HB 120bpm!

  • They were both useless for my LO. Started with Gentlease, then SS after 2 weeks. Her constipation and gas was horrible. She has been on Similac Alimentum for a week and is a totally different baby.

    How did she handle the Alimentum at first? I've read it tastes pretty gross and can be hard for LO to get used to. Was your LO diagnosed with a milk allergy first before switching? Thanks for your help!

  • Started with enfamil for 2 weeks! Was horrible! Switched to SS and seemed to be better for gas and we are still using it 3 months later :-)

  • Started on similar because that's what the hospital gives. But my Lo was really fussy and seemed to suffer from colic so I switched to gentlease and it has worked like a charm.  I definately saw a difference.  Good luck!

  • I tried the Gentlease after finding out WIC didnt cover the Similac, my LO hated the Enfamil so we had to switch back to SS and hes been on it ever since he was a week and a half old. Hes still gassy but he doesn't have issues passing the gas anymore and spits up less.
