Pros: Milk Based but Lacto Free, Iron Fortified, Easier To Digest Cons: N/A
I'm sad to say that I have several cans of a variety of formulas stacked on the bottom shelf of my pantry. While this means I'll have plenty of reviews to write, it is also proof of the struggles we have endured trying to find a formula our daughter...

Pros: Keeps my baby healthy and happy! Cons: Sometimes hard to find, not stocked well at the store
Three of my four children have had problems with milk allergies of sorts, My oldest was determined to have a milk allergy when she was 10 months old, after repeated diaper rashes, that looked more like bleeding sores on her rear.

Pros: lactose free, non-offending odor, nutritious Cons: more expensive than regular formula, stores do not stock a large supply

Pros: no gas or fussiness Cons: doesn't seem to dissolve properly

Our son was 3/12 months old when we decided to switch his formula one last time. He was on Carnation Good start for the majority of his 3/12 months, and was always very gassy and fussy. We just thought he was that type of a baby. We did try the soy...

Pros: Solves most feeding problems, nice rewards program Cons: none

Pros: less expensive than soy formulas Cons: slightly more expensive than regular formula
My daughter had a problem with regular formula, and threw up and cried for hours after being fed regular formula. My pediatrician suggested lacto-free as an alternative before trying the more expensive, soy formulas. I agreed and surprise of surprises,...
Enfamil Lacto-Free changed our lives. My son was born in March of this year. I originally tired to breast feed, but had great difficulty. Even when successful, he was gassy, fussy, and spit up more than he digested. So, I gave up on the breast and went...
