Good Formula

4

So I couldn't afford the high end brand once and used this the entire time I was using it was great except for a little bit of gas from my son. He obviously didn't do to great with it but otherwise it was a pretty awesome formula to use instead of name brand Gentlease if you are on budget.

Compares Perfectly to Name Brand

I needed a new formula for my newborn as she reacted to a different name brand. This one was amazing for her. She was no longer had to deal with gas, constipated, or fussy all the time on this one. She slept better and was much happier. The price difference is great, this brand compares to the name brand at half the price. I love how this one mixes. It mixes great and it not full of bubbles when mixed. She tolerates this on better than the others I have tried and truly is very gentle.

My son seems to like it

I like it. The formula itself is awesome I just wish they would change how the lid locks. It is so hard to get the large containers lid off. Drives me absolutely nuts. Especially when trying to make a bottle while holding the baby.

Good for Off Brand

This product lives up to its "gentle" claim, and it is far cheaper than the on-brand formulas. I would recommend this product for a reliable, healthy option that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Easily Digested Our kids have always done well digesting this formula, and it does seem gentle on their stomachs. They do not have stomach problems or diaper rash through the use of this product. Ease of Preparation This formula is very easy to add to a bottle with warm water and simply shake to mix it. So the basic preparation is easy. My problem with this is that the scoop used is often buried in the formula in the can. So one needs to dig down into the can to get the scoop the first time. The formula sticks to about anything, so whatever is used to dip into the can comes out with a lot of formula that ends up wasted. Other brands put a clip on the lid to keep the scoop at the top during shipment. This would be a good improvement for this produt.

Very good!

All three of my children had milk sensitivities. We went through every name brand formula on the shelf at the recommendation of our pediatrician. Not once did he ever tell us there was a store brand formula we could try. Parent's Choice Gentle formula was the only formula all of my children could tolerate. My daughter had been on Alimentum for milk protein allergy. We eventually tried Parent's Choice Gentle and found that she could easily tolerate it. My son who had colic used this formula and it worked better than all the others for his issues though he still suffered some from colic. This formula is easy to mix, just like all the others. It has everything the name brand formulas have but for a fraction of the price. This formula was more affordable and worked better on three of our babies. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has a baby with sensitive tummies. It was a lifesaver and wallet saver for our family. Don't be afraid to try it just because it isn't a brand name. It worked better for us than all the others.

Works just as well as the name brand for much less money!

My daughter, for the most part was breastfed. When we needed to switch, we chose a traditional formula at first. She was unable to tolerate a regular formula. When we switched to a sensitive type, we knew the store brand would work just as well. We have used this brand, on occasion and it is excellent. It is more expensive than most other store brand but less than the national name brands. All infant formula must pass federal guidelines, so this one does also. Easily Digested This formula contains partially broken down protein chains. Because of this, it is easier to digest. We experienced no problems with gas or fussiness when we used this formula. We also had no problems with spitting up when using this brand. Ease of Preparation As is standard with powdered infant formula, this brand uses one scoop of formula (scoop is included in the package) to two ounces of water. Add the water to the bottle and add the formula. Place the nipple on the bottle and shake well. It is not hard at all.

Great!

My daughter preferred this formula over Gerber Gentle. It was easier for her to digest; as soon as we switched to this brand I noticed a lot less constipation and diarrhea. Ease of Preparation Very easy to prepare. Dissolves well in water even if it's at room temp, and when you travel several hours to visit family pretty often that comes in handy.

Didn't mix well

I sent my husband out one day to buy formula, and the store was out of our regular brand, so he came home with Parent's Choice Gentle Infant Formula instead, because it was supposed to be the equivalent of the Similac formula that we have been using, and it was a lot less than our regular brand, so he thought I'd appreciate the savings. Well, I would rather pay more to have my regular brand, because this brand did not mix well. It seemed to cling to the side of the baby bottle, and looked just plain disgusting. No matter how well I mixed it, it still looked the same. The formula looked powdery and lumpy, and I wondered if it was just a fluke, or if this is how the Parent's Choice Gentle Infant Formula brand is, and if so, who in their right mind would want to feed it to their baby? Other Parent's Choice brand products are of good quality, but as for this particular product, I will stay away!

Wouldn't trust any other formula for my little sister!

This formula absolutely, one hundred percent does its job for little ones! When my sister was a baby, we were very concerned about her weight. She cried so much, was fussy, and gassy all the time. We took her to the doctors and we found out that she had colic; apparently that is very common in babies. Our doctor suggested Parent's Choice Gentle Infant formula, and I am so thankful that he did, because it helped my little sister to recover. Easily Digested This product is very easy to digest. If whenever I decide to have a child she or he ends up with colic, I will know which formula to use for them: Parent's Choice. One other perk of using this formula is that it costs less than most other formulas do. Between the price and the effectiveness, this product has me sold. Ease of Preparation Simply put it in whichever kind of bottle that you would like to use for your little one, add warm water, and mix it/shake it all up! This formula is safe for all babies, in my opinion.

We used all different products and they weren't nearly as great as this product. It never caused tummy aches, it never caused allergic reactions, and it was entirely affordable. We actually cut our formula bill in half with this, Another plus, is how much formula comes in one canister. If you aren't able to nurse, this is most definitely the most reasonable way to go. I'll be using this with my future children as well.
