Pros: Iron-fortified; easy to digest; cost effective when compared to other starter formulas.
Cons: No formula can duplicate the many beneficial ingredients found only in breastmilk.

Pros: It works! Easy to find, inexpensive.

Pros: Eased my son's colic and he is actually sleeping!
Cons: I wish I had known about it sooner.
Summary: Today my son became a different child. He is just over 6 weeks old. Due to problems, I could not breastfeed and my son was given Enfamil with Iron because that is what WIC allows. He was fine until the second week when really bad colic set in. The doctor ... read more

Pros: Inexpensive, some babies take well to the "comfort proteins"
Cons: Made my baby gassy and her diapers smell foul

Pros: Just as good and costs less.
Cons: Does not mix as easily in powder form.
Summary: Having a baby is expensive. Feeding that child formula instead of breast milk makes it even more expensive. With all the choices out there it is hard to come to a decision that is comfortable.
Carnation Good Start was not out when I had my ... read more

Pros: WIC approved
Cons: Did not fill my babies needs

Pros: Easier to digest, more like breastmilk. Much cheaper than other brands.
Cons: Well, it isn't breastmilk.
Summary: I am currently breastfeeding my 4 month old, but had to start supplementing with formula when he was about a month old due to such frequent feedings. (He still feeds every 2 hours and takes an extra 8 ounces of formula per day). I had many samples of ... read more

Pros: 100% Whey Protein, Easily Digested, Cheaper Than Other Brands
Cons: N/A

Pros: Availability, Price, Non-foaming
Cons: Harder to find big cans
Summary: I have seen a lot of reviews that state Good Start is a good value and then others that state that it is not that good due to the larger scoop and other reasons. So I decided to end the controversy in my own mind and do the math. Here is what I came up ... read more

Pros: Dissolves easily, no bubbles, nice texture, easy on my baby's tummy
Cons: Scoop is pretty big, powdered form has more bitter taste than Enfamil
Summary: I breastfed my baby for the first 4 months of her life. At this time, I decided it was best for me to wean my daughter to formula, due to other circumstances. "Breast is best", but if you decide to wean to formula try Carnation Good Start.

Pros: It allows the baby to get the same nutrition as other milk based formulas
