Pros: Provides adequate nutrition for baby's growth and development. Cons: It's not breastmilk; is an ugly brown in color; stains clothing very easily.
BREASTMILK, of course, provides the best possible nutrition for newborns. Please note that this is NOT an epinion regarding WHY you should breastfeed. Instead, I hope to help educate new parents and let them know there ARE equally nutritious yet ...
Pros: Different Mixing Forms, Gentle On Baby's Tummy, Iron Cons: Stains Very Easily
After attempting to breast feed my daughter after having a C-section, I came to the disappointing conclusion that I was going to have to throw in the towel. She couldn't latch on and would scream in frustration which would only set my emotions loose and...
Pros: Easy on the tummy, several convenient forms Cons: Stains, bubbles, expensive
I had planned on breastfeeding my new baby from the beginning, but when she was admitted to the NICU for a week after birth, my plans were temporarily halted. My milk was slow coming in, so pumping didn't make enough for her, for the first couple of...
Pros: Very convienent, milk based, recommended by pediatricians and hospitals. Cons: Ready to feed can get quite costly.
When my first son was born, I knew I was not going to breastfeed him. (Please hold back the flames, this is not the correct place for it.) However, knowing that I was not going to breastfeed him, I did not know what to feed him. The pediatrician had...
Pros: Best New Offering - Ready to Feed Reclosable Bottle Cons: Is not as good as breast milk yet
When it comes to infant formula I find myself recommending Similac With Iron and a close second would be Enfamil With Iron. I was a breastfeeding mom and when my kids began to wean themselves I was ready to go with Similac. My son started...
When my second son was born I was concerned about the formula that he would drink. My first son had terrible problems holding down any formula and I was really dreading a repeat of that. My doctor suggested Similac with Iron so I agreed to start with...
Pros: packed full of nutrition, recommended by doctors and hospitals Cons: expensive
Well, okay maybe not but it has been proven that Iron is an attributing factor to brain development and therefore intelligence. That hullaballu aside...
Pros: very good baby food, fortified with iron Cons: thick powder that's slow to dissolve, sediment
My son was breastfed for the first three weeks of his life. He was three weeks old when my husband finally broke down and introduced him to his first bottle of formula. Unfortunately, it wasn't a happy meeting.
Pros: checks, coupons from the company Cons: expensive
I used Similac with Iron with both of my children. My son began Similac when he was 3 months old when I went back to work. I had been breastfeeding but didn't want to express at work. My second child only takes Similac when we go out and I don't want...
Pros: Most highly regarded by my doctor over any other formula. Cons: The stores can't keep enough of the larger cans in stock!
Once I found out I was pregnant with my second son, I was on the fence in what I would be feeding him. My first inclination was to breastfeed. But by the end of my hospital stay, I knew that I would have to be feeding him formula. You see, I had a...
Pros: This is not a decision to be made via epinions Cons: see above!
I used Similac for a time and can find many comments I agree with, and many I don't when I read these reviews. Similac seemed to agree with our son, and because we did switch formulas, I can say that with some comparitive information. But does that...
Pros: Easily found, various sizes, Pediatrician Recommended Cons: Costly & the ever-present breast vs. formula debate
Writing an opinion on formula is rather difficult. Since my best advice for formula-feeders is to be consistent (i.e. stick with the same brand) it can be hard to write and opinion comparing the virtues of one formula over another. And, admittedly, we...
Pros: many styles of containers to choose from Cons: Price, but so is all formula
When my daughter was born, her pediatrician began her on Enfamil with Iron. Not because it was the "best" thing to give her, but because the hospital where I delivered her just happened to get free samples of the formula.
Similac with Iron 12.9 oz. Powder Similac Isomil Similac Isomil is the classic baby formula which has been enjoyed by babies for a long time. The Similac formula is perfect for any ch...
