I am the Mom of 4 kids.  All of my kids have had problems with Similac Products, different reactions to different things.  My oldest couldnt handle iron, so used a low iron similac (they dont make that anymore I dont think).  My next child couldnt handle cows based formula, so we used Similac Soy. ... review »

Carnation Good Start is a good product.  It offers all that is promises.  It is easily digestable, but because of this, the baby eats more often.  It works like breast milk.  The baby will feed throughout the day and night.  The price per container is less expensive than the other brands, but you... review »

I am mother to a six year old boy, and three year old girl.

With Ben, I used Good Start in the purple canister. It was the only one at the time. Ben is strong, healthy, and has an excellent immune system.

When Kate was born, they came out with the orange canister, and for a long time I spent the extra money because it was THE BEST. But I realized, Ben did just fine with the purple, and Kate will too. And she did!

If you genuinely can't afford the extra expense, don't guilt yourself into buying the most expensive. Purple was great.

I love Good Start, because it looks most like milk and has relatively no offensive...

I used Good Start with my daughter, who is now 2, and absolutely loved it. We tried other name brand formulas and they were too hard on her stomach. Good Start was so easy for her to digest and she never had any problems with gas or reflux. I have recommended Good Start to several friends and I have nothing but good things to say about it. It was even a little less expensive than the other leading formulas. Nestle also has a website that you can sign up with and recieve free samples and great coupons.

My children used Nestle Good Start Supreme with DHA and ARA, now known as Nestle Good Start Gentle Plus. 

Nestle uses gentle 100% whey protein, the highest quality protein used in infant formula, and they break down this gentle whey protein ingredient into smaller pieces to be easy to digest.  These are called Comfort Proteins and only GOOD START milk-based formulas have them.  Because of these comfort proteins my children had regular urinary and bowel movements with no constipation or diarrhea, less gas and they did not spit up more than a normal amount. 

Nestle Good Start offers a...

My son had colic as a baby. As any parent who has had a baby with colic knows, colic is pure torture for both the baby and the parents. My son cried constantly. We were giving him Mylicon drops for his colic and tried several different formulas. Nothing seemed to ease his suffering. He would not sleep for more than an hour at a time before he would wake up crying again.

I saw a comercial on tv about Carnation Good Start. It said that Carnation Good Start has "comfort proteins" that are easy for babies to digest. This formula was supposed to be good for babies that have a hard time with other formulas....

Although I no longer have infant children of my own, I continue to by Carnation formula for my many nieces, nephews, and little cousions that stop by.  I buy Carnation's formulas because it is a brand that I truly believe in and it is cost efficient as well.  Unlike most baby formulas, it doesn't have that bitter like smell too it.  It almost smell sweet compared to other formulas.  Most of the infants I have fed Carnation's to have a easier time digesting this formula.  It helped a great deal when it came to the niece and nephew that were experience acid reflux using the other formulas prescribed...

I loved the resuls of Carnation Good Start. My child never got sick as a result of this product and always loved drinking it.  It was easy to prepare and transport.  Never was their spills in my diaper bag. It was also a product that showed the results it advertised.  The Iron made my child healthy and never ill.  I used tis product for several years and my child grew stronger and healthier eachyear.  I would recommend Carnation Good Start with Iron to all mothers with newborns and toddlers.  This product was not a bunch of hype or technical names o a label.  It almost reminded me of breast...

I had to use Nestle Carnation Good Start Soy Formula for my son who had a milk allergy. It was easily digestible for him and it also eliminated spit up. Before we tried this product he cried a lot and didn't keep much of his formula down. I thought my son was colic, but this formula took care of that for me. It is easy to travel with too. The powder is quick and easy, and comes with it's own measuring scoop so it is easily measured, wether at home or on the road. I have made a bottle or two driving down the road (although DEFINATELY NOT recommended) but sometimes you gotta do what ya gotta do....

I have 5 children - 10 and under. I have used various soy formulas for 4 of them after I was done nursing, but I hated the smelly diapers. After I had my fifth baby, I ended up nursing him longer than all the others. By the end of nursing him I had read in a couple of places that I trusted that Carnation Good Start was the best formula to replace breastmilk. I must admit I was a little skeptical but there was a selling point for me. My son's dirty diapers smelled almost exactly like breastmilk dirty diapers! I couldn't believe it - I was definitely sold! I will always recommend Carnation Good...

Carnation Good Start Formula was wonderful for my son.  My son was having a hard time with digesting formulas.  I had gotten to the point that I practically tried everything!  My son was having alot of gas and was having a hard time digesting any kind of baby formula.  Then I tried Good Start.  It was the only formula that my son could actually tolerate.  My doctor was pretty impressed also.  Just when I was giving up, Carnation Good Start gave me hope again!.  If your newborn or baby is having a hard time with formula, I do suggest trying Good Start.  It really is a good start to your...

I loved this stuff. My daughter had a hard time keeping anything down. We tried a couple different things and ended up on Nutramigen,which is VERY expensive.  My cousin whose son also had a hard time with keeping things in his tummy told me about this. For the heck of it  I tried it,and it was great! It was very gentle,she had no problems keeping it down,and it's like 9 dollars cheaper than the other I was  buying. I used this for both of my kids and will use it for any others.

Mom to colic baby, Finally getting a good night sleep

This formula is fabulous. My daughter was so full of colic and screamed her head off for hours on end. Nothing seemed to soothe her. I stumbled on Carnation Good start at 2am. Desperate to help her soothe her tummy this formula was the key to a good night sleep.  I went through over  6 different brands in two months and Carnation Good start was the only formula to give her the comfort proteins she needed to easily digest  formula. Thanks so much Nestle for making this formula.

I tried many different formulas before our ped. recommended Nestle Good Start....I ended up going with teh more expensive version, the Supreme with DHA and ARA bc I know those nutrients are important, and found in breastmilk. It is as costly as the Enfamil, but so worth it. My baby's tummy finally calmed down, and she's been thriving for 9 months now!

I would recommend this to any mom who has a baby that is fussy, gassy, etc., and the problem is NOT lactose intolerance.

When my son stopped breastfeeding and switched to formula at 6 months old I was ready for the spit-up to stop. I decided to try him on this soy formula and was amazed at the results. No more spitting up. Not only did it benefit us all in that way but the Good Start Soy formula contains easy to digest supreme soy proteins as well as DHA and ARA, which are found in breastmilk, so I know that what I'm giving my baby is very good for him also.
