My daughter used similac enfamil geber nutratraman then back to enfamil. Let your baby decide what is best. My daughter did great with nuta but lovely wic wouldn't give it to her.

I'll be using the similac supplement the green can for when I switch from breast feeding to formula. With my first I used similac advanced.

You may not have a choice. Baby's tummy might decide which brand and kind they need

people who are ignorant (or read too much stupid stuff) think that genetically modified foods will do something to your dna or will cause you to get cancer.... I'm assuming that's what he's talking about, I have a degree in biotechnology and I can promise you that the only thing that gmf's do is to cut out years of natural modification!! We've always modified our foods, we've just done it without knowing it by natural selection or by cross breeding.... Now we just have the technology to do that same process faster!! Most "all natural" foods are as far from natural as can be but they are able to slip through loopholes to be able to label their foods as all natural!! And as far as cancer is concerned, If we all lived to be 200 and never did anything to speed up our cell death then we would all still get cancer because it's just that... dying cells!! Everything gets old, everything dies, you can't stop it and we don't always know what is gonna cause it until later when you get it, so I say live your life to the fullest, don't worry about gmf's or what formula is better, just do what you think is better.... If he really refuses to give in, buy 1 can of his stuff and just transfer the one you like to the package so he thinks that's the one you use lol he will never be the wiser and he will probably even tell you how much healthier the baby is because you listened to him lol!! ;-)

It really depends on your baby. ..
I gave my baby similac sensitive and it made her constipated.
My daughter is on enfamil prosobee and loves it. She has a milk allergy. Don't stock up until after baby is born...you don't know how her tummy will react.
I heard good things about Gerber...A lot of my friends use it.

Sometimes the baby will only like a certian brand just like how some diapers can give them rashes it all depends on baby so in the end you migjt end up not using either and having to use a different brand all together

Just try the orange can and tell me how your baby likes it. I know your baby will enjoy it. My daughter loves it she would cry when I fed her enfamil because it gave her tummy troubles she was super gassy. Now she smiles after every bottle.
