Nestle Good Start Supreme DHA & ARA —
I am a single mother of two, a 3 year old boy and 4 month old girl. I have to go by the WIC program of PA in order to help me out since my children's fathers don't pay child suport. They used to provide my daughter with Similac Advanced and then switched to Nestle Good Start DHA/ARA. My daughter never had problems spitting up or with diahrrea until she started this formula. WIC insisted that this would subside after using the new brand for a few weeks. She has been on it for 2 months and is still havng problems, and I have to switch her back to the Similac. WIC also told be this was a better formula, but my daugter has also lost weight at times due to not being able to tolerate it. Also, she was but on the Nestle Good Start for babies who spit up also and it was worse then the original. Another thing I don't like about the Good Start is it stains her clothing...and since she is teething, sh slobbers alot and just chews on her bottles at times. This causes the nipples to leak formula on her clothing and no stain remover I have used, which is like all of them, will not take it out. I would not recommend this to anyone.
