My son is mostly breast fed, but at 4 weeks, we started supplementing with a bottle of formula, both so I could get some rest and because experience with my nieces and nephews taught us that starting bottles (and formula) by 4-6 weeks was important for future acceptance of them.
We started with Enfamil, because we had a ton of samples, and because our son was a bit colicky and prone to spit it up, and it was the first formula we'd used, didn't notice the spit up as much. What we did notice was that he became somewhat constipated, and we had to start giving him juice to loosen him up.
We recently switched to Good Start Supreme Natural Cultures. My son is now 3 months old, and since I've gone back to work, the end of breast milk will be coming sometime in the next few months. This formula has been great. He's no longer contipated, he spits up MUCH less than he did on Enfamil, and it seems that it doesn't upset his stomach like Enfamil. The formula looks more like milk, and is less foamy than the Enfamil.
I like that it has the natural cultures. I don't know if it's actually better than without, but I'm willing to try it if it means a healthier, and ultimately happier, baby.
Overall, this product has been great for me and my son. He tolerates it better, it doesn't upset his stomach, and he's much more regular. And I feel better about giving him formula because it supports his immune system. Despite the high cost, I gave this 5 stars.

THERE IS NOTHING "CLOSE TO BREAST MILK" YOU FOOLS! YOU ARE DECREASING YOUR CHILDS ABILITY TO LEARN AT THEIR HIGHEST POTENTIAL BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO PUT FORTH THE EFFORT TO BREASTFEED. THERE ARE TOO MANY EXCUSES.
