Enfamil vs. Similac? What do you use?

ammc · January 2009

my preemie will be switching from Similac Neosure to regular formula next month. I am wondering if anyone has done the research in determining which formula is better (Enfamil or Similac)? the pedi also mentioned the Parent's Choice (Walmart brand) as an alternative cheaper option (1/2 the price of Enfamil/Similac). Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated. TIA

I had a preemie, born 30 weeks and he has been on Similac Advance since he came home from the hospital, was getting Pumped BM. We have had no issues with this.

We use Parent's Choice, and have with all of the kids. If I had to choose b/w Similac and Enfamil, though, I'd choose Similac. Enfamil is more bubbly when you mix it and it tended to give my kids more gas.

i have a enfamil baby and shes had absolutely no problems at all. i use dr browns bottles and i think that has minimized her gas & no colic...she burps great actually and always has! i think thats the bottles doing not the formula...but the formula is great for us!!!
