Pros: inexpensive, mixes well, big cans available, all varieties available
Cons: walmart of course is morally reprehensible(this is not to say that enfamil/similac arent)
The Bottom Line: This is a federally regulated product that provides the same nutritionally value to your baby as enfamil and similac do at a fraction of the price.

| Maja's Full Review: Parents' Choice Milk Based Formula |
Parent's Choice is the familiar Walmart brand infant and toddler line of items. This formula as well as the other formulas manufactured by walmart follow the FDA requiremnents of baby formula. If you look at the contents on the labels for this formula and simiac, nestle, or enfamil, they all vary slightly but have essentially the same ingredients and nutrients. It is a complete ripoff for the bigger companies to charge such scandalous prices. As a mother who breastfed for months and then switched to formula, this is the best. I tried all the other ones first before realizing how much money I was wasting while giving my son more than adequate nutrition. Similac and enfamil are pushed by doctors and given as samples by hospitals to get you hooked. Hospitals and doctors only give these away because the big companies send it to them. They don't necessarily have to endorse it, but anything free to do with baby is certainly welcome. Similac and Enfamil send samples to hospitals, create clubs with coupons and free samples because they have the money to. Where do you think that "advertising" money comes from? You guessed it, from the high retail cost of the product.
Unless mothers nurse for more than 18 months, they will have to feed their babies formula at some point. For those who have multiples or have trouble with breastfeeding, they need an affordable option that they can trust. I certainly don't approve of some of the big corporation practices that Walmart has, but I believe that they provide one of the best formulas for its price.
