    Haven't used Parents Choice but we use the Members Mark from Sam's Club. Per our pedi all formulas are basically the same. So it really makes no difference if you use Similac Sensitive or a generic sensitive version. Formula is heavily regulated by the FDA.

    I tried it and it left the worst residue on the bottles and curddles after 45 minutes

    We were using Enfamil and switched to Parents Choice's version of Enfamil without noticing any difference in our LO or in the formula itself.

    Hmmm.  I've used Parent's Choice (Walmart brand) and Makers Mark (Sam's Club brand) without any of those issues.  My children have never had problems with generic formula.

    I wonder if those parents had switched from one brand of formula to generic or from breast milk to formula.  A baby used to breast milk only will usually have constipation issues the first week or two they're on formula. 
    If there's something strange underneath the hood.  Who you gonna call?  Your Doctor.  If there's something weird and it don't look good.  Who you gonna call?  Your Doctor.  Immediately.  If it's new, painful, and possibly pregnancy related get your ass off the internet and call your doctor.  It's for your health and your child's.

    We occassionally use the Parents Choice and my lo tolerates it very well. We normally use Similac for Spit up and on occasion I will buy the Parents Choice with ar because it is so much cheaper. You can get a big tub for around 16 which is about 10 cheaper than the Similac tub. He has no problem switching back and forth either.

    Eta: A couple of weeks back I got some awesome Parents Choice coupons in the mail. I got three, one for 15 off, 10 off, and 5 off. I have no idea how I got them, I'm sure signing up somewhere on their website so check there for some extra deals.

    I got these too! Even got $15 off similac and enfamil coupons too. We're still EBF, but I've been stocking up on cheap and free formula as a worst case scenario. I'd rather have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. If I don't use them, I'll just donate. I'm guessing it's from the store I did my registry at probably sells your information, because I've never signed up for coupons either. But I won't complain lol

    I have a bunch of newborn formula that I never used since DD is EBF. Where are you donating your formula? I'd love to donate what I have! I was thinking about a free Craigslist listing but I'd rather know for sure it was going to someone in need.

    I'll be taking mine to a Woman's shelter or a pregnancy crisis health center. You can also donate to food banks as well.
