When my daughter was first born I breastfet for a few months.  When that was finished, I wanted to give her the best formula on the market.  Money was no object, just her well-being.  So, I started (as naive as I could be) with the most expensive formula I could find.  She hated it and was gassy...

We had a bunch of problems with Nestle Good Start, but not what we expected.  We switched to this formula because Similac was giving my newborn extreme gas and he screamed his head off every night. The doctor suggested the switch and it worked like a charm. The first Nestle we tried only came in powder... review »

We were given a sample of Nestle Good Start formula, and I was glad that we had not spent money on it in the store.  Normally we use Enfamil, and we will be going back to it soon.

When I opened the can of Nestle Good Start the first thing I noticed is the scoop was longer, and still in a mold.  I had to unsap the spoon and it in turn made formula spill out onto our kitchen table.  If I had bought the can I would have been mad to see some of my money on the table simply by trying to get at the scoop.  The scoop was also longer than other brands.  The handle was short, but the scoop itself...

Good Start form Nestle is a great formula.  My baby never suffered from colics or spit ups.  With my oldest son I struggled to find a formula tha would not upset his stomach He cried after every feeding for the first tree months of his life.  Its had to find a formula that is gentel in the stomach but with the additional vitimans for brain and eye development.  I with I would have started my first son on Good Start from the begging like I did with my second.  With my second child my feeding experiance has been compleatly different.  Good Start was the fist formula I used and I have had a...

I have tried several formulas, and I love Nestle Good Start.  The doctor did not recommend this formula, but I did my research on it anyway.  I found that the first ingredient is whey, which is much easier for a baby's body to digest.  We tried several other name brand formulas, and my child had severe reactions to all of them.  She was hospitalized for one reaction.  Other reactions included severe diaper rash, and bloody stools.  Once we started using Good Start, she was a much happier baby.  She was not as fussy, the diaper rash disappeared, and she seemed to tolerate it well.  I just...

I am a single mother with a decent job. I didn't qualify for any assistance so I was on my own paying for everything. When it was time to put my daughter on formula I tried Nestle Good Start formula because I received a coupon in the mail. When I went to the supermarket I couldn't believe how exspensive formaula was. I compared all the different nutrients to the more expesnsive formulas and they were exactly the same. They have so many different kinds to chose from. They even have a soy type. I asked my daughter's pediatrican and he agreed with me about my formula choice. he even told me...

My son was born a month early, and for many reasons, including lack of knowledge, breastfeeding didn't work out. We started him on Enfamil Lipil. We eventually switched him to Similac Advance due to the doctor's reccomendation. He continued on Similac for about three months, and while he finally began gaining weight well, he was having a lot of problems with gassiness and constipation. His doctor thought it would pass within a few weeks, and when it didn't, he told me to try Nestle Good Start. Within two days of starting the Good Start, it was like having a different child! We no longer had to...

I love Nestle's Good Start!  My son was born September 7, 2008.  I was breast feeding, but the problem is he had jaundice.  The jaundice caused me to have to have to use formula with the breast feeding.  My son did not like similac.  He would sip it out and wanted nothing to do with it.  My sister-in-law Maria told me that she had the same problem with her oldest son Marc.  She said that she feed Nestle's Good start in a powder form to her son and he liked it.  She said that it was more like breast milk.  She told me to try it with nursery water.  I have to say that my son took to it...

Nestle Good Start Soy formula is wonderful. This is the only formula my son was able to use. He  suffered from GERD (gastro esphogieal refulx disorder) and he aslo suffered from sleep apnea. When we orignally took him to the doctor we thought he was colic. So the doctor did some tests and was able to tell us that the milk based formula causes a lot of acid refulx. we switched to the Godd Start Soy and he has been fine ever since. It also helped minimize his gas and fussiness. I was not to keen on the smell in the begining but i got used to it. Its not a bad smell...just a little different from...

Our daughter was having trouble with diaper rash while taking aonther type of formula.  She had to take the formula because we didn't have enough breast milk, and we tried a couple of brands of formula that would give her very bad diaper rash.  She was conitually upset and had diagestive problems every day.  Our doctor suggested Nestle Good Start and so we decided to try it.  After trying it for only a few days our daughters' diaper rash was gone.

My son tried three other kinds of formulas before we found Nestle Good Start Healthy Heart. He would constantly spit up everything until I started giving him Nestle. He never had another problem with spitting up his formula. The price is reasonable and the quality is good! I am no expert and I am a first time mom, but I can tell you that I had a wonder experience with this product and took a lot of the stress away.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Nestle Good start! My baby drinks this and only this formula. The formula offers the nutriants my baby needs to grow and be healthy and it also cuts down on spitups. with other leading brand formulas i have had problems with her digesting it and she was frequently hungry because she would always spit it back up. With this i do not have that problem and i reccomend it  to all new mothers!!

I chose not to breast feed and used this product instead.  My son accepted it and had no problems with it at all.  Others I have used caused constiopation, this one did not cause any dietary problems whatsoever.  The cost was acceptable.   I am very cost conscious and using this product worked within our budget.
