Parenting Newborns & Infants (0-1) Support Group

Of course as we all know breast is best for babies. Saying that it doesnt alway work so, we found that comfort or easy digestion work for us best. We use cow and gate comfort.

I only use it occasionaly, and use the Emfamil because that is what our Pedi recommended. However, I have a friends that use the store brand and have NO problems with that, and save a lot of money - if you look side-by-side at what is in them, you will see that it is the same. =)

I LOVE the Target brand that's compatible to the Enfamil Gentle-Ease--it's half the price and my son did so much better on it than anything else we tried.

We use the PC iron fotified. (Im in Canada) We did start out using Enfamil, but honestly it was just too expensive and I couldn't afford it. My son goes through 1 can in less than a week and this brand is only $10.97. I checked it out with the doctor, and he says that pretty much all store brands are compairable to the good stuff. But of course I felt bad at first!

At first we started with Enfamil and only the ready to eat kind. Then I saw a study and it showed trace amounts of melamine (a poison that killed a bunch of babies in China) so I switched to Similac with Early Shield. I only used the ready to eat kind and NEVER the powered formula because the powered formula is NOT made in sterile conditions. I cannot believe how careless these companies can be so just be careful. Beckham is now 13 months old and is now on whole milk so we only give him organic whole milk. Good luck!!!!

We use Parents Choice (wal mart brand) which is the same as Enfamil with Lipil but half the cost..

i have always had my son on Parents choice which you can purchase at walmart and its affordable for me. this brand has low iron for under 6 months and the also have it with iron. my sons 10 months now. i have never had a problem with it. i did have to pput a teaspoon of cereal in his formula for about 2 months because he couldnt hold just the formula down. he has a very sensitive tummy

i reay wanted to thank everyone for their supportr and their replies.ur all so wonderful.unfortunately i live in south africa and we dont have any of the brands mentioned here.we have s26,nan.novalac,nido,infacare.thx.iv bought s26 gold so we will c how tht goes.

We use Similac Infomil Advanced. We started her on Similac Advanced formula which is similiar to breast milk but boy oh boy did she get really bad gas from that.

My SIL is a ped. nurse and she recommended Similac easy shield..I mostly breast feed but she gets on formula bottle a day and she likes it and it seems to sit well with her...I think she has more issues with my breast milk(gas mostly)
