  • We started on enfamil (no real reason, just because) for when I needed to supplement but when he was diagnosed with MSPI we were told to use similar alimentum. Enfamil has their version of it too but the dr suggested the similar so we went with it.

    Congrats to my GP Sister from another mister Bruinsbabe!!
  • We use Enfamil because the pedi gave us samples of it and it has worked fine.  We're still using samples (we were going in frequently in the beginning for weight checks and they gave us samples every time) but when we run out I plan to try the Up & Up version.

  • Enfamil then switched to sam's club. I chose enfamil because I had more enfamil checks.

  • We started on Enfamil because that's what the hospital started us with. We're on the generic brand now of Gentlease.

  • We started with Similac Neosure b/c that's what the NICU recommended, plus one of the few with higher calories.  After that, B was on Nutramigen b/c of her MSPI and since that costs $$$, J was on Kirkland (Costco) formula.  Once B was good, we switched her to Kirkland, too.

  • We went back and forth between enfamil and similac since they are so similar they didn't hurt her belly or cause gas or anything. Her pedi said it was fine as well but we fed mainly similac though.

  • @littlelady77, thank you!  Those are old pictures... since TN changed format, my pics changed to an old siggy. The one on the left was one month photos from last October and the other are last Christmas pics.  I should try an re-do my siggy to update.

  • DS' pedi recommended similac. We got organic. I would have gone to generic but I couldn't find an organic that was reasonably priced.
