Nestle Good Start Gentle Plus Formula Review

     I am a mother of two and nursed both my son and my daughter exclusively for the first six months. Then, about the time they started solid food, I starting supplementing with Nestle Good Start Gentle Formula. I've never had a problem when introducing the formula alongside my own milk. No upset tummies or diaper surprises.

     When my son's appetite grew beyond what I could naturally produce, I asked around to find out which formula(s) worked well. I was lucky that I had a couple of other new moms in my friends and family circle to ask. One of the biggest complaints about other formulas was the smell and texture. I heard some of formulas don't dissolve easily when mixed, leaving a mommy shaking or stirring adding more bubbles and contributing to more burps and gas. Another is the awful smell of a dirty diaper that seems to come from drinking some other formulas. I found that Nestle Good Start dissovled fairly well in warm water and not so well in cool water. I also found that while there was a noticeable change in smell in the diaper department, it wasn't all bad. Certainly not as bad as when you feed them peas.

     And, though I kind of embarrassed to admit this, I sampled some of the powdered formulas including Nestle Good Start myself. I figured, if my son was going to be drinking it, I might as well test it first.  I mean, don't all mothers do that with any other foods. I gotta say, while they all taste kinda yucky, Nestle Good Start was the least yucky, more bland tasting then the others.
