Powder formula

Anyone have a recommendation for a good powder formula? I have been using the liquid 2 ounce bottles of Enfamil to supplement. I think we are going to try powder. Any suggestions?

We have been using Similac Advanced and haven't had any issues. In the hospital, they told us that Similac and Enfamil are pretty much the same thing, so I would think it would be an easy switch.  Enfamil also make a powder formula too....

We use Enfamil Gentle. We tried the similac gentle and it wouldn't freaking dissolve no matter what I did. The Enfamil is much smoother and dissolves easily.

Do your wallet a favor and buy a store brand.  If you look at the labels they are identical and MUCH cheaper.  We used Target brand and my son did great.

Ditto. We went with the Sam's Club version this time around, you get double the amount for the same price.  Our pedi recommends store brand if possible, the ingredients are the same and like the PP said, your wallet will appreciate it.

We used Similac.  I tried store brands when other suggested, as everyone says they're the same.  But DS got bad gas with store brands he never got with Similac so we gave up and kept buying that.

DD started on a preemie formula from Gerber Good Start so we have been switching her over to Gerber Gentle. She seems to like it.
