Has anyone ever bought the off brand of formula for baby? My husband got a 2 day check due to his…

I've wondered the same. my son is on the Enfamil Prosobee and was wondering if I could get the cheaper soy formula, but I don't want to upset his tummy.

I've had to buy it before & my daughter did great with it!

My doctor said at our last appointment, "they would never put anything on the shelves that would be harmful for baby." . My daughter is still on Enfanil Gentlease, but, my husband wants to switch to Up&Up; (Target) brand.

I used that brand with both of mine and there was no difference except price.

Go sign up for Wic

We use similac but when we started shopping at SAMs they have a members mark formula and it has the same ingredients as similac advance and it $12 cheapier and we get 3 times more

@swtlilangl, it's like half the price!

@2ndtimemommy02, I do have wic my 4 month old drinks 8 oz bottles and the 9 cans th re y give me don't even last us 2 weeks

I bought the sams club brand once and my son had no issues at all

@jgled000, well I grabbed a can of Enfamil and one of parents choice and red ingredient for ingredient and they are the same exact thing. I used to work in a factory and we would make the same product with different labels and every single product was a different price but they all got the same thing. I'm thinking other companies do the same and we're just paying for the name brand not the quality of the product.

Wow.. Baby hungry huh.. Do you give your baby cereal? That may help to keep him or her full @andrew_nikolai2015

dont ever feel guilty girl, your baby is being fed, clothed, and loved and thats what matters. they won't remember what formula you fed them, they will remember you being good parents and doing right by them. they will always know that

@andrew_nikolai2015, I'm on wic too but he only drinks 4oz bottles right now and I still have to buy some. do you get the enfamil coupons? they're $5 off and that helps me a lot. I get a 4 a month (I signed up and bf signed up so we get double).

@jennatess, it's just so much cheaper! The parents choice is $19.99 for a tub of 33.2oz where the enfamil Gentlease easy is $25.99 for 21.5oz. It's a lot more milk than the enfamil. My son drinks 8 oz bottles he a big boy.

@2ndtimemommy02, yes I do and also baby food he still drinks 3-4 oz bottles a day with cereal

@jgled000, I do get them. The tub lasts him only a week. We are just struggling since we had the funeral one day then the wake another and we were at the hospital a whole day since the doctors told us she wouldn't make it through the night we all waited for her to go so he didn't work all week. It would make it so much cheaper if we just buy the parents choice formula apart from the wic.

wow I didnt know you got that much more for such a cheap price! I'll definitely have to look into it. I guess you won't know unless you try. let me know how it goes!

@jgled000, I found this website where you can compare any 2 formulas. It compares the ingredients as well as vitamin percentage and price for ounce check it out. Parents choice beats the enfamil lol http://baby-formula.homeowl.com/compare/14-22/Enfamil-Gentlease-vs-Parent-s-Choice-Gentle

Thank you!

Wow he's gonna be a big guy @andrew_nikolai2015

@2ndtimemommy02, yeah he's 4 1/2 months and weighs 20lbs!

Wow. I just looked through your pic, he's just the most handsome little guy 😀 @andrew_nikolai2015

@2ndtimemommy02, thank so much!
