Calling all moms that FF

*Not sure if there is another thread about this so feel free to redirect me* I have received tons of samples from enfamil. The gift box comes with newborn, gentlease and infant formulas. I don't want to waste any of it. I'm switching over from breastmilk and supplementing with the newborn formula to just formula all the way around. So far (knock wood) my baby does not have any issues with gas or digestion. Can I feed him all of them? Or is it like with dogs (bad comparison, I know) where you have to slowly change food so they don't get sick?? Help!

  • As long as baby tolerates it you can switch between formulas. My sister in law gets formula from WIC and receives similac. If she runs out before the month is over she buys good start brand which is cheaper since she is on a limited budget.

  • I'm probably a horrible mother because I forgot to ask my pedi about that but went ahead and used all those samples anyway. And the only thing I've noticed is when she tries a different formula she kinda makes a face like it tastes different but since she was already colicky/gassy it hasn't affected her that way.
  • I have been switching back and forth between all the samples...similac, enamil and gerber..sometimes all in one day. LO doesn't seem to mind one bit as long as there is food in her mouth lol. Been doing this for about a week now with no troubles..

  • Awesome. Thank you so much guys. I literally got 6 of those samples boxes because my mom signed me up on the website a hundred times lol. I want to use every last drop of it. @jenn71278 my baby is the same way. He just wants to eat all the time.
  • My only suggestion is to try them a few days apart so you can see if one in particular is causing issues. DS did great with similac but terrible with Gerber. Enfamil was also fine for him. No idea why the difference but that's babies for you.
