Kirkland Signature Infant Formula with Iron — 

I'd been supplementing with Enfamil Lipil since my son's birth, and four months down the line I figured I'd try the Kirkland formula instead and save a little money.  Bad idea.  It's much more powdery than the Enfamil, making it prone to caking and clumping during measuring and mixing.  It creates *much* more gas during mixing as well, which does not settle out very quickly, so you have to make it up much further in advance to reduce the amount of air taken in during feeding.  In addition, the color is much more intense (and therefore staining), and the smell is awful.  My son doesn't seem to like it, either; he has been a lot more fussy since we tried it, fighting the bottle and spitting up much more often.  I'll be attempting to return my unopened can and switching back to Enfamil ASAP.  At least Costco has a good price on that as well.

Exact same experience - I do not recommend it. Target brand is terrific though.
