Sarita12385 Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 Hello again all! Have any of you tried the Baby's R Us brand formula? I have 2 big cans that I'm using and wanted to get other people's input as well I used a can of Similac Advanced that the hospital gave me, but it is SO EXPENSIVE...so I switched to Babys R Us. He, my son, was eating it well for 2-3 weeks, but now he tends to throw up a bit every now and then and I'm hoping it's not the formula. I compared the BRU and Similac and there wasn't much of a difference at all.....
Lucky_One Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 My son spit up some after every feeding, and I nursed him exclusively. I doubt it's the formula, but do keep an eye on it. I assume that you aren't talking about projectile vomiting or anything that looks like anything but spit up formula? or smells like anything but spoiled or fresh milk (or anything between those two stages)?
onthebrinkofitall Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 I used the Parent's Choice brand with all my children, after I gave up on the whole breastfeeding thing.. THREE times. There's nothing wrong with the formula you're using, unless your child turns out to be lactose intolerant. Don't worry about it. Brand names are just a way to get more money out of you. They all do the same thing.
fawn Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 Cow's milk formulas. Most infant formula is made with cow's milk that has been altered to resemble breast milk. This gives the formula the right balance of nutrients — and makes the formula easier to digest. Most babies do well on cow's milk formula. But some babies, such as those allergic to the proteins in cow's milk, need other types of infant formula.Soy-based formulas. Soy-based infant formulas may be an option for babies who are intolerant or allergic to cow's milk formula or to lactose, a sugar naturally found in cow's milk. Soy-based formulas can also be useful if you want to exclude animal proteins from your child's diet. However, babies who are allergic to cow's milk may also be allergic to soy milk.Protein hydrolysate formulas. These are meant for babies who have a family history of milk or soy allergies. Protein hydrolysate formulas are easier to digest and less likely to cause allergic reactions than are other types of formula. They are also called hypoallergenic formulas.
