Has Anyone Ever Tried the Target Brand Formula Version of Enfamil Lipil?
My little boy will be here within a few weeks, and I plan on nursing him until I need to go back to work in late August. With my first child, I used Enfamil Lipil and had no problems with it. Since then, I've noticed the price has gone up. The Target version of the formula is like half the price. I know that my baby's health and nutrition is very important, but the ingredients are the same in both kinds. Has anyone ever tried the Target brand formula? If so, please let me know how it worked for your baby. Thanks!

I used it and had no problems all formula is regulated so it has to be safe and they are almost exactly the same if you compare the two ingredients list's i used with both of our kids and they are normal and healthy but was much cheaper only time i used name brand was if i had a coupon that was better but most of the time even with the coupon target was still way cheaper

I used it for all 3 of my kids. Its basically the same as the Enfamil brand. The only difference there is is that its more of a yellow colored powder then the white powder with Enfamil. And that's the same for the Parents Choice brand from Walmart.

We used it with my first son, still breastfeeding the second, and it worked great. He seemed to like it the same as Enfamil. The only difference I noticed was that it isn't as foamy as Enfamil. My sister in law used the Sam's club brand with all her kids. That was like a 3lb container for 19 bucks. Either way, all formula makers have to follow the same guidelines. Congrats on the baby!

We used it with our son. Both our pharmacist and our pediatrician said it's essentially the same product and meets all FDA standards.

I have never used the Target brand.. but I only use the Wal-Mart/Sam's brand. I have used the Shopko a few times when I was right next to it and didn't want to run across town. They are all pretty much the same. IMO with Enfamil/ Simalac your paying more for the name. I have never had a problem with the store brand name formula with any of our 5 kids. The lady who does daycare for us also uses the store brands, I was there when the state was inspecting her and the lady even told her there is no difference in them. When you can save money and get the out come, then why pay more for just a name. Congrats with the new family addition!

2 years ago, our pediatrician advised AGAINST using store-brand formula. However, I don't know if things have changed since then.
