Generic vs. Name Brand Formulas

Generic vs. Name Brand Formulas

Just wanted to get opinions on this topic.  I have heard from several people that there is not difference.  My DD is 5 months old and drinks Enfamil Prosobee due to lactose intolerance.  I have just noticed that the generic is about the half the price, but I am nervous to switch her.  This is not an area I want to save money in if there is any difference at all.

I recently switched my ds to Parent's Choice formula and he's had no problem adjusting to it.  I often go to Sam's Club (basically the same and Parent's Choice) and buy their big can of formula which is just $20.00 and it's almost double the size of the biggest Enfamil and Similac can.  I would go to the Parent's Choice website and fill out the info to get a free sample of whatever type of formula you need and that way you can try it out.

They are pretty much the same.  They must pass the food and drug admin guidelines.  I switched to Parent's Choice as well with no issue.  Although, we only used formula for about 4.5 months as he was breast fed.
