Enfamil A.R. Lipil Infant Formula Review Summary

If you’re having trouble with your baby spitting up, Viewpoints members say that you may want to consider trying Enfamil A.R. Infant Formula. The rice and starch in Enfamil A.R. Infant Formula are one reason that infants spit up less. Another reason, say Viewpoints members, is that Enfamil A.R. is thicker than many other brands, which helps infants keep it down. On the negative side, our reviewers report that sometimes this particular Enfamil baby formula can cause constipation. Also, some reviewers felt that it was be difficult to mix.

Having two babies back to back means continuing the ordeal of serving baby formula from one child to the next. I have used several different brands and styles and found most to be similar with only a few minor differences. One formula I got from the pediatrician and served to my youngest is Enfamil A.R....

Enfamil AR, stands for Enfamil with added rice (starch), it is supposed to be a thicker formula for frequent spit up babies.  Well..it is THICK.  It's actually quite nasty, and it smells horribly, not mention it did nothing for my baby except make him throw up and very gasy.  We soon found out he... review »

I used to use Similiac Isomil Soy (red can) for my son Michael.  He had spit up some using the regular Similiac with Iron, so we had switched to the Isomil.  He had continued to spit up, getting worse each day.  We asked the doctor what the problem was and he advised that the baby could have acid reflux.  Before using medicine to regulate it, he suggested trying Enfamil A&R Formula.  I was skeptical since the Isomil didn't help, but agreed to try it for a week.  We tried it that week and haven't looked back.  It had reduced the spit up to the point where it is only once in a while.  My...

My son has very bad acid reflux. He wasn't gaining weight because he was spitting up most of what he was drinking with regular formula. Now, we give him 6 oz. of water to 2 scoops regular formula and 1 scoop of Enfamil AR and it's made all the difference in the world. He keeps the formula down, and we've even been able to stop giving him Prevacid. He's gaining weight, and I really believe it's the addition of the Enfamil AR to his formula that's made the difference. This is a much safer alternative to giving rice in the bottle which can cause a choking hazard. We did have to switch to a size... review »

My youngest was born 8 weeks early and like many preemies was diagnosed with reflux. He had a grade 4 (the worst). We tried many formulas, and this was by far the best. It was a huge relief to see him enjoying his feedings. The spitup was reduced tremendously after the first couple of days on Enfamil A.R. It was great to see him keeping his formula down. He quickly began gaining weight and is now a Healthy, well adjusted toddler.I personally like the powder formula much better than the liquid in a can. I recommend this formula for any baby who spits up frequently! Thanks Enfamil!!

The Enfamil A.R baby formula is wonderful. Before using this product my baby was spitting up, and pretty much throwing the other formula back up. she was going through so many bibs in a day I could not keep up with my laundry. And she was getting her clothes soiled. I would change her clothes at least 3-4 times a day and go through 6-8 bibs in a day or more. now she wears only two outfits a day, her day time clothes and her nighttime clothes. she still spits up but that is normal for babies. The Enfamil A.R. formula contains some form of rice in it that helps thicken the formula. and it helps the...

I tried the powdered version of this formula one time.  I could not get all the lumps out of it when mixing it.  And when my son was screaming to the top of his lungs because he could not get his poo-poo out, I said that it.  I had originally been using the ready to feed version of this formula and he did absolutely fine on that, never any constipation.  But I found that buying it powdered form was more economical, so I switched.  Wrong move.  I immediately switched back to the ready to feed.  It was the best formula for my son, who suffered from with reflux.

My daughter spent the first 2 months of her life spitting up. my doctor recommended enfamil ar after we had tried 4 other formulas without any success. after about a week on enfamil ar her spitting up just ended and she seemed to tolerate it much better than she had any other formula. i was truly amazed at how well this formula worked. i have recommended it to all my friends with babies that spit up. when i have my next child we are going to use nothing but enfamil ar for him or her. parents should really try this formula as it may be the trick.

This definitely helped reduce the spit up. We started out on Nestle GoodStart and she was constantly spitting up - it got to the point where it was coming out of her nose so we tried this and it worked a lot better than I had expected. When we first switched I did notice a difference in poop, but she wasn't having any problems with it. It is difficult to get all the lumps out when using the powder though, but the Nestle wasn't much better. If you're having spit up problems I would definitely try this.

This product is great for babies who spit up a lot or chock on regular formula.  My son has reflux very bab and this formula has reduced his spitting up by about 90%.  The best part is is that it cost the same as regular formula.  I highly recommend this product to parents who do know what to do about spitting up or chocking.  My only recommendation is to get nipples that are multi flow not the one holed ones, the formula comes out better that way.

I AM A MOTHER OF ONE DAUGHTER.  WHEN MY DAUGHTER WAS BORN SHE STARTED USING REGULAR ENFAMIL MILK .  SHORTLY AFTER, I NOTICED THAT MY DAUGHTER WAS NOT DIGESTING REGULAR ENFAMIL MILK.  SHE BEGAN SPITTING MILK UP THROUGH HER NOSE AND MOUTH.  I HAD TO SWITCH HER FORMULA SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE RIGHT ONE WAS CHOSEN.  HER PEDATRICIAN RECOMMENDED THAT I USE ENFAMIL AR LIPIL.  I AM PLEASED WITH ENFAMIL AR LIPIL.  MY DAUGHTER WAS DIAGNOSED WITH GER.  I SWITCHED HER TO ENFAMIL AR LIPIL AND SHE STOPPED SPITTING UP.  MY DAUGHTER ALSO DIGESTED THE ENFAMIL AR LIPIL BETTER THAN REGULAR ENFAMIL MILK. ...

This product is the best formula out there, Enphmil Lipil, My daughter is three months old and has been on this since she was five days old, it helps her with spiting up, it makes her gain weight, &&it keeps her healty as can be. Shes such a smart baby and i owe it all to Emphmil, i think any expecting mother should really check in to this formula talk to your local wic lady they should print you out coupons for this exact item, or you could go to your local grocery store and buy it for thirteen dollars, but with wic its free free FREE :) they have many other diffrent types of enphmil, there is...

Enfamil Lipil is a great product.  When my kids stopped breastfeeding we gave them Enfamil Lipil.  The kids drank it with no problem.  Enfamil Lipil is a quality product that has everything a baby needs.  It also has the ingredient found in breastmilk so that made me feel better about the formula I was giving my kids.  When they stopped breastfeeding I was worried about them not getting all the nutrients they were getting from the breastmilk, but Enfamil Lipil has all the nutrients my kids needed.  You can find Enfamil Lipil in just about every store and it is not that expensive.  When choosing...

enfamil with lipil is a soft thin powder that is easy to mix for baby bottles. There is a   scoop that has holes in the bottom so that there  is very little if any mess.It is easy to use and to take on the go. Two of my four  children have used enfamil after stopping breast feeding and it was a easy switch with enfamil. It does not upset their stomachs and is easily digested. My niece's mother  after useing two different brands finally gave enfamil a try after I explained to her how good the product was and she talked to her doctor because her daughter contiuned to throw up and had a...

Enfamil Lipil formula is great!!!!  Mixes easily with water - doesn't get clumpy or yucky - (which some others do-makes it very hard to mix up) great for early am/late night feedings. My daughter had no trouble tolerating it - no spitting it up either. Still using it at 11 months - Pediatrician says its fine to continue - contains extra nutrients for babys development. Also, doesn't have too bad of an icky baby food formula smell. Good size cans, also they have a great information web site and send coupons and mailing and all sorts of stuff for the baby. The coupons are great - and they automatically...
