Pros: Worked wonders: contented baby! Cons: Like everyone has said, the expense, but so totally worth it since it works!
Summary: I have had good luck with this formula. I have five boys. Thank God my doctor pointed me in the direction of hypo-allergenic formulas early on. It saved me "shopping around" endlessly. One thing I have learned is that each baby is different, and while ...

Pros: Good for baby. Easy to digest. Cons: Expensive and makes spit up and poop stink!
