Go and Grow Formula by Similac

Anybody have any experience with the Go and Grow formula by Similac? It is designed for kids older than 9 months as a transition to cow's milk, I think. Essentially, it is supposed to offer better, more balanced nutrition than regular formula for kids who are older. My question is if I have a healthy (25lbs at 10 months!) boy who I feel has a balanced diet of purees and finger foods and tops it off with regular formula, do I have to switch to the Go and Grow, or can I just keep doing what I am doing and introduce cow's milk when he's...

2 Week-old Baby with Reflux

My 2 week-old daughter has gastroesophageal reflux (GER) which causes her to regurgitate a lot and makes her extremely uncomfortable. I am writing for some advice on managing this. She is exclusively breast-fed and she has been on 0.7 ml of Zantac 3 times a day for a little over a week, and I am not seeing any improvement in her symptoms yet. One of my sons also had this and was on Zantac until he was 13 months old, but it took till he was about 4 months old to find the right dosage to control it and he was miserable until then! I just...

Enfamil or Similac

Hi ladies, I am wondering if any of you have had the experience of using both of these brands and can help me make a decision on which to go with. I used Similac Isolmil Advanced with my daughter but just read a study that the Enfamil ProSobee Lipil has higher levels of nutrients in it than the Similac. I am so used to the name brand Similac that using something different worries me without some input. If any of you could share your experiences with me I would appreciate it! Also, just in case, I am not at all against breast feeding and...

Seeking Adice on Infant Formula!

My precious baby boy is 12 wks old and after 9 days of nursing I was no longer able to produce any milk. In utter disappointment and shame I quickly shifted to an orgnanic formula "Earths Best" which my first born now 3.5yrs old consumed without any issues after 3 months of nursing. After several weeks of horribly painful gas resulting in screams and 30min+ crying sessions, I decided to switch formulas, turning to Enfamil's Premium Newborn infant formula. 3 wks into this formula the gas has dissipated but now my son has diahrea and spits...
