Formula Question

What formula is your LO on and how is he/she tolerating it?  Thank you.

Re: Formula Question

  • My DS is on Enfamil AR an loves it! He has stomach issues and throws up a lot but the enfamil AR helps a lot with it. He's 11 weeks old and can only eat 2oz maybe 3 if I'm lucky

    Started with regular similac advantage to supplement in hospital so continued it for 2 weeks until ran out of that supply. Switched to Gerber Good start(which is suppose to be gentle and have quality ingredients from my research) but my LO must have an allergy to something in it because he was immediately gassy/fussy/crying and developed a diaper rash around his anus, and had more watery poops. So stopped that after a few days and back to similac. Around 4 weeks he was having tons of gas so switched to Similac Sensitive per ped's advice and it really helped a lot. He's been doing really good on it and is now 11 weeks. However, it does have corn syrup in it :( so we are hoping to go back to regular similac at some point.

  • We use Similac Advanced and it works great. Hopefully soon we'll get her on the generic version. I've heard that for most generics, the only difference is the price.

    It varies from baby to - what works to one, might not work for another.

  • We've been supplementing with "Similac for supplemenation". It comes in the ready made 2 oz bottles. So far so good.. it helped a lot until my milk came in.

  • We're using the Target generic for Similac Advance and she's handling that fine so far.

  • Enfamil gentlease due to spit up and gas. Thinking about switching to AR because she spits up a ton.

  • My little nugget is 7 weeks old and from the beginning we have had him on Enfamil Newborn (the light blue lid). I was given that at the hospital and he has loved it since. I was not able to breastfeed, and he hardly spits up and has been gaining appropriate weight
  • We started with good start then reflux started so we moved to enfamil AR. With good start she had clay grey poops. Now the AR could cause constipation but its the opposite. I tried the target up/up equivalent and she got constipated. So back to the enfamil AR.
  • My son started off on similac advance now on similac sensitive & breast milk and been burping a lot easier .Also pooping much more & softer.
