I used the Costco Kirkland brand. 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.

earth's best organic because it was organic and charlie liked their jarred foods and snacks too.

When I was having trouble breastfeeding, we used Good Start - only because I had received 5 free tins of it.

Gerber Good Start Soy...he has a cow's milk allergy and even had a tough time with soy so we had to introduce it very slowly or else he would throw up. This seemed to have the mildest taste for him.

We use Similac Alimentum because of E's gas issues. It smells terrible, but it's the only thing that works.

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.

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.

I supplemented a few ounces of formula/day for the first month of LO's life. I gave her Earth's best.

Nutramigen because my LO had problems with regular formula due to the milk proteins.

Gerber Good Start for us. Seems to work well. Enfamil caused LO some gas problems.

Started with Kirkland but it gave LO horrid gas so now we use Target Up & Up Sensitive (which is the same as Similac Sensitive). It's only $18 a huge tin (basically same price as the Costco Kirkland stuff) which is 1/2 the price of name brand.
