When my daughter was not pooping every day, had a hard stomach and was very fussy I took her into the Dr. office and they told me to just use gas drops! I hate medicating my children so I was not happy with their request. I went in search of something better and I came across this.

Soy based formulas...

I desparately wanted to breastfeed my newborn daughter but after finding out she was likely lactose-intolerant, I introduced her to Good Start Soy formula as instructed by my doctor. I wanted to switch back to breastfeeding so I cut dairy out of my diet but my supply began to dwindle so she became strictly formula fed. We haven't had any issues with the formula. It's easy to prepare & store as well as very gentle on her tummy. She rarely spits up or develops tummy aches. I would recommend this to parents of children who might be lactose-intolerant. If you sign up for Good Start's Start Healthy,... review »

I used this formula for all three of my babies who were sensitive to milk.  We tried others, including the lactose free variety and other soy formulas, and they all contributed to some sort of upset tummy, or problems with spitting up.  Good Start is gentle on their tummies, easy to find at most grocery stores (and usually at all baby stores), and is priced in the average range with other formulas of its type.  I surveyed three of the doctors at my pediatrician's office, and they all recommended Good Start above any other.  I, being a frugal person, tried some of the others first because they... review »

I first started to use the Carnation Good Start Formula because there were no other options! My little girl had all kinds of tummy issues and nothing seemed to work.  The doctor wanted to use medication and I just felt that she was too young.  I was worried about changing her formula again but something had to be done.  She immediately took to the new drink and it actually made her gas go away the same night that she had recently began to experience.  The next day we continued to give her the Good Start and I noticed that it was easier to mix and the powder dissolved quicker than the... review »

Nestle Good Start Soy Formula is the bomb. I love this brand of formula. I participate in the W.I.C. program. WIC stands for Women, Infants, and Children. With this program my child can't receive this brand of formula. They only participate with the Enfamil company. The Nestle Good Start Soy Formula has had better effects for my son. He hasn't any problems with constipation or been as grochy with this brand. Now with the other brands of formula I have tried, he has had a lot of problems since he was born. If the WIC program participated with this brand of formula I would love it. Now even though...

When I was pregnant with my daughter she had such a strong dairy allergy that she made me lactose intolerant. When she was born the hospital tried her on a milk based formula and she immediately spit it up. They then put her on Similac's Soy formula. She responded well to it, but we noticed it was very expensive and the coupons they produce aren't much of a savings. We looked into other brands, but were nervous about switching. I was only able to breast feed for 2 months and even then had to suppliment because I didn't produce enough. We spoke with her doctor and he said it would be ok to switch...

My son was probably on every formula out there.  He started spittiing up around 2 weeks old and they put him on enfamil AR, that was a complete nightmare.  The enfamil AR still has the milk protein in it so it really doesn't help babies who are lactose intolerant. Needless to say, we were told to put him on a soy formula, so we tried the Goodstart soy.  He continued to spit up with the powder so we tried the concentrated, and it was like a miracle.  Don't get me wrong, he still spit up multiple times throughout the day, but it wasn't every 5 minutes, he quit having gas also.  The soy formula...

when i had my first son who is now four, he was born 3 weeks early. and although he was healthy, he couldn't digest regular formula very well. making his weight a little worrysome sometimes. so his doctor wanted me to switch him to a soy formula. so i switched to the nestle goodstart supremme soy formula and i saw immidiatly a difference. he was eating more and more and was not spitting up, or getting gassy, or fussy. it was amazing. his weight became more stable and he became a whole new baby! nestle good start supreme was a lifesavor for me. i would recomend it to anyone i could. although breast...

My daughter went through several formulas before we tried this one. She has had severe GERD since she was 2 weeks old. We took her to the emergency room due to this problem and they told us to put her on the alimentum formula by similac and she got WORSE. She only ate 1 bottle in 24 hours so that night I went out and bought her the Nestle Good start Soy Based Infant formula and she improved one hundred percent over night. She has now been on Nestle Good Start Soy Based Formula for about seven months or so and has been doing wonderful. Though it does not smell that great and leaves my bottles smelling...

Being a mother of two I have used this formula more than once in the past five years and I can only say that it only gets better as the years advance. This formula is very inexpensive and if you sign up at goodstart.com you can receive free sample containers of this formula and many coupons worth up to $15.00 off your formula purchase. These coupons are sent more than 6 times a year.

My son had an allergy to milk so we used this formula (soy) and it seemed to be the only thing he could keep down. As for gas with all formulas, I actually found this formula to cause the least amount of gas in my...

Nestle good start soy formula all together is a good brand of formula. i do however have some issues with it. my daughter was switched to soy a couple of days after she was born. she was switched to the soy based formula because she was spitting up alot and the hospital thought that she might be allergic to the formula she was on. however, after she was switched to nestle good start soy formula she still spit up just as much as she did before on the non soy based formula. I am unsure about the differences in the two formulas the both seemed to cause my daughter to react in the same way. i took...

Carnation Good Start Soy Formula is the best formula for a baby's sensitive tummy!  All three of my children had sensitive tummy's, as newborns, and this formula worked better than any other!  I went through about 6 or 7 different formulas before trying Carnation Good Start Soy, with the same results each time.....constipation, upset tummy, spitting up, etc.  This formula had the effect I was looking for.  Within about 3 to 4 days of switching to this formula, my baby's stool softened up, upset tummy went away, and the spitting up became minimal to non-existent.  As my baby got older, I switched...
