We use Gerber Good Start Gentle. We tried (a couple days) Enfamil newborn, and then Similac, Similac sensitive (worse than regular!) and finally landed on Gerber which has been working great.
However the only store brand (cheaper) version is Parents Choice Tender, which I can't seem to find much info/reviews about.
Has anyone changed formula from Gerber Good Start? LO is 7 months.

Unfortunately, Gerber doesnt have an off-brand equivalent. We used it and stuck to it until we weaned at a year. I didnt want to mess up something that was working.

@googly-eyes: We used Enfamil Gentlease from birth-8 weeks, then switched to Parents Choice Gentle. She had no idea we switched! It was an incredibly smooth transition & I actually like the Walmart brand better (packaging & texture of the powder). At our 2 month appointment the doc asked if we were still using Gentlease after seeing it on Sadie's chart - when we told him we switched to Parents Choice Gentle he said, "Good! That's what I was going to recommend! They're exactly the same, save your money."
Also, fwiw, Sadie didn't take well to Enfamil Newborn or any Similac formulas (we had samples). They all resulted in spit up. She hasn't spit up AT ALL on Gentlease (and now on PC Gentle). You might want to at least get a little can of the PC Gentle to see how your LO does on it! We love it.

@zippylef: You don't happen to know what the difference is between the good start and the tender? http://www.wal-mart.com.cn/ip/Parent-s-Choice-Tender-Milk-Based-Canned-Powder-Infant-Formula-with-Iron-23.2-oz/21014318
I think the tender one might be a little new.

Ok I was able to find the comparison but only on the parents choice website. Walmart.com has positive reviews. I think we're going to try it.
For anyone who is interested...
