Some formulas just make some babies not feel very good, while other babies are fine. There can also be different outcomes with powder and ready to feed, even in the same brand. Also, don't be afraid to go generic, they are all nutritionally the same. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-formula-do-you-recommend#post-735909 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 06:38:19 +0000 heffalump 735909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would ask your doctor. They know your situation and baby best so they'd be able to recommend something good for you.</p> <p>We ended up with Gerber Goodstart Gentle because LO had reflux, but we didn't want anything too thick because she was also constipated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-formula-do-you-recommend#post-735895 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 06:14:25 +0000 hellobeeboston 735895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have supplemented once for a week when I was going away and did Earths Best for the same reason @Mrs. Jacks: said.....</p> <p>If/when we switch I plan on using it still... It's one of only 2 or 3 organic brands out there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-formula-do-you-recommend#post-735859 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 05:30:54 +0000 GrapeCrush 735859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we started with Enfamil Gentlease, but then switched to Target brand because it was so much cheaper </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-formula-do-you-recommend#post-735850 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 05:18:48 +0000 blackbird 735850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were using Similac advance and switched to the SAMs Club Sinply Right version-I like the container (handle for the scoop, leveler inside) and is less than half the cost of Similac and E likes it just fine and we have had no issues with it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-formula-do-you-recommend#post-735824 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 03:49:59 +0000 cascademom 735824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're using Enfamil infant formula. My dude's a former gassy, colicky baby. The regular formula seems to be okay for him. My LO is self weaning right now, so the nursing sessions are less and less, so is the pumping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-formula-do-you-recommend#post-735821 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 03:40:48 +0000 photojane 735821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not organic, but another Gentlease baby here! We are actually using the generic (Walmart) brand now, as its $15 cheaper and exactly the same. She has had zero spit up &amp; doesn't have any issues with fussiness or gas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-formula-do-you-recommend#post-735159 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 16:59:23 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 735159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here's the link to Earth's Best:<br /> <a href="http://www.earthsbest.com/products/product/2392310040" rel="nofollow">http://www.earthsbest.com/products/product/2392310040</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-formula-do-you-recommend#post-734947 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 15:33:30 +0000 LuLu Mom 734947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our doctor recommended Gerber Goodstart due to the protein breakdown, we used this before having to switch to Similac Allimentum for reflux issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-formula-do-you-recommend#post-734943 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 15:31:22 +0000 DillonLion 734943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used Similac Advance and had no issues. </p> <p>We switched to Gerber Good Start Gentle because that is what they have at daycare and our pedi didn't want us switching back and forth when she was at home. She's had no issues with the new formula. </p> <p>My ultimate preference is for the Similac, though, because the Gerber is really stinky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-formula-do-you-recommend#post-734939 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 15:29:50 +0000 MsLipGloss 734939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also use Enfamil Gentlease for Fussiness and Gas . . .

At 6.5 months, I'm ready to introduce formula and start weaning. So far, we've had no food, gassiness, or digestion issues, so that's not a concern. </p> <p>What brand/type would you recommend &amp; why? </p>
