What are you substituting in place of Similac during this recall? My 9 month old does not like Enfamil and I'm worried about switching to another formula because he has a very sensitive tummy. Thanks, in advance, for your advice!

I prepare batches of Similac powdered formula and keep it in the fridge for when I need it. The "recipe" Similac gave me when I called their 800 number was 23oz of water to 1 level cup of powder. The yield is 26 oz of formula. This is fine now while my baby does not go through 26 oz in a day yet, but soon she will. I want to make a larger amount and not fuss with individual scoops of formula if possible, but as you bakers and cooks know, simply preparing another half a recipe (11 1/2 oz water to 1/2 cup powder) may not work right. ...

I have been breastfeeding my daughter pretty much exclusively until about 6 weeks old when I started supplementing more with formula. I had tried the Similac Advanced early on b/c it claimed to be more like breastmilk. But I had to eliminate dairy in my diet b/c it caused her lots of gas and colic. Since then we have gotten some prescription colic meds and have been using mylicon a lot and its better. I eventually switched to Nutramigen. It is so expensive and since I am doing half breastmilk half formula bottles for when I go to work, I...

Is it possible for similac go & grow to cause constipation on a 7 mth old baby? I didn't realize I was giving my baby go & grow and he has been constipated for about 3 weeks. I was planning on taking him to the doctor but when I realized the formula was not the right one I wondered if this could be the cause of the constipation. I started him back on the similac advance today, I guess I'll have to wait and see what happens. BTW besides the formula everything I feed him is the same. But to help relieve the constipation I've given him prunes...

Which formula is better or worked for your child? I need to put my daughter on one of these, but I'm not sure if it's similac sensitive because it's milk based or the nutramigen because it's hypoallergenic.

Sadly I have thrown in the towel for breastfeeding my twins, age 6 months. I have started them on Nature's One formula - the can says that it is "Toddler Formula" but after some research I found that it meets all requirements for infant formula. Any other Mamas using this formula? I should add - looking at some responses - I did the cost comparison and Nature's One is actually less than something like Similac Organic - FYI. Similac Organic has maltodextrin in it, which I am not willing to feed to my kiddos.

My 14-month-old son is constipated a few times a week. I have been in contact a few times with the pediatrician's office and am doing everything I can. This started when he was switched over from formula to whole milk. Also, he does not drink much water. I am always forcing it on him, but he won't drink much. I give him prunes or blueberries to eat, make his baby cereal with prune juice, give him whole grain foods, etc. I also water down his milk and occasionally put Karo syrup in his milk. He still has problems with constipation. ...

My daughter has been supplementing with Similac Advanced but was given a container of Enfimil at the hospital. They are the same as far as ingrediants and the DHA and ARA. Could she use that can of Enfamil before buying another can of the Similac? TJ is 10 1/2 wks old and does very well on the supplement formula. I watch him during the day and told her I would ask since she is at work. Thanks, J. ****Thank you all for your advice. I have given my daughter all of your info and will let her decide. I think she was thrilled to hear...

Hello Mommies! I have a newborn, only 13 days old. We've figured out she has a milk intolerance so we started giving her Similac Alimentum formula about a week ago. Since, she has gotten better but now, about 20 mins after she eats, she goes through a rough period where she obviously uncomfortable, inconsolable crying, squirming, grunting, etc. I have heard that Similac products are harder on their systems than Enfamil products. I want to switch her to Enfamil Nutramagen but I'm waiting for the doctor to call me back. By the way, the...

Hello Mommies -- First of all I want to thank everyone who responded to my request. All of your suggestions were helpful and thank you for the support that I needed. Well, it turns out that it may not be constipation with my son, because when I took him to the doctor on Tues., she performed a rectal stimulation and he went right after and the BM was soft. He also went twice that evening, all being soft. The only thing is that he hasn't gone since and it is now Thurs. BUT, when I took him to the doctor, she noticed that he now has Thrush....
