But I don't see why you couldn't use generic! I know plenty of moms who use Kirkland brand and they have no problems with it at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brands-of-formula#post-140710 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 16:50:01 +0000 veelon1 140710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you both for your responses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brands-of-formula#post-140673 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 16:21:44 +0000 chopsuey 140673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never tried generic. We got SO many free samples in the mail and from the hospital. I ended up buying a can of Earth's best but only used about 1/2.<br /> Will pick up some Baby's Only for baby #2 if I have to supplement during the first few weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brands-of-formula#post-140669 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 16:19:50 +0000 Honeybee 140669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We tried the Kirkland brand since it's supposed to be the generic of Similac, and DD threw it up every single time. :( I think it's because the Kirkland brand formula is very frothy, so it's kind of a weird texture.</p> <p>I think most babies tolerate generic just fine, but you can always ask your pedi before trying just to be sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/brands-of-formula#post-140667 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 16:14:54 +0000 veelon1 140667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi there,</p> <p>Has anyone tried giving LO generic brand infant formula? If so, is there any difference other than the price? What are your thoughts on giving branded formulas ie: Similac, Enfamil, Gerber, etc. vs. generic brands ie: Target Up &amp; Up, Kirkland?</p> <p>have a great Friday :) </p>
