It's only $18 a huge tin (basically same price as the Costco Kirkland stuff) which is 1/2 the price of name brand.

Seems to work well. Enfamil caused LO some gas problems.

I gave her Earth's best. :) rsp213 on "If you use formula--What kind do you use?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-use-formula-what-kind-do-you-use#post-33108 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 14:26:35 +0000 rsp213 33108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We use Simulac Complete (with the blue label) Even though I was BF'ing, our LO had latch issues immediately and this was the formula they gave us in the hospital to supplement with. She's now 19 weeks old and on formula full-time and does very well with it. heffalump on "If you use formula--What kind do you use?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-use-formula-what-kind-do-you-use#post-33100 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 14:18:12 +0000 heffalump 33100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We've gone through a few. We started with Enfamil because that's what the doctor suggested. Then we asked the doctor if we could switch to Costco brand because of the price, and they said yes. But that made her constipation even worse. So we switched to Gerber Goodstart Gentle, and so far that's been working for us. I'd rather put her on something thicker for her reflux issues, but that would just make her constipated again probably, so we're sticking with the Gerber. I think different formulas work for different babies, and I would just ask your doctor what they recommend.

It smells terrible, but it's the only thing that works.

This seemed to have the mildest taste for him.

I picked it because DS's stomach could handle it, and it was a lot less expensive. I got 2 cans of it for about the price of 1 can of other kinds. polkadots on "If you use formula--What kind do you use?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-use-formula-what-kind-do-you-use#post-33005 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 12:52:48 +0000 polkadots 33005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ What formula do you use?
