Has anyone ever bought the off brand of formula for baby? My husband got a 2 day check due to his grandma passing and her funeral and wake so he didn't work much. I bought the parents choice gentle formula since my son is on enfamil Gentlease but I feel so bad! I checked the ingredients they are the exact same but idk why I feel so guilty. This is all we could afford...

@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

@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.

@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.

@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).

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

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

@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.

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

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'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.
