Parent's Choice Milk Based Formula with DHA/ARA — 

We have been using Parents Choice formula for a few years now (with both of our two little girls) and we love it.  It has never caused us any problems (allergies, diaper rashes, bad reactions on the flavor, ect.) at all, and the girls actually didnt notice a difference when we switched them to it from Good Start DHA & ARA.  We made the switch quickly (overnight) because of the price difference.  Good Start DHA costs between $14 and $15 here for a 12 oz can while the Parents Choice is between $11 and $12 for a 25 oz can.  So you pretty much get double the amount of formula for $3 to $4 less than you would be paying.  You also have to get it less often because the large Parents Choice can is so large that it lasts about twice as long.  I would recommend this brand to anyone and as a matter of fact I did to a friend with a fussy baby and the formula helped tremendously.  If you are looking for a good, cheap brand that is easy to find(they are in every Wal-Mart as far as I have found) and that is VERY close to the Good Start brand then I would give it a try.  If it doesnt work then you are only out up to $12 dollars and I am certain that you will find a friend more than willing to give it a try if you give it to them.  Hope you all enjoy it and let me know what you think!

Store Brand Infant Formula is an amazing way to save money, especially Parent's Choice!
We used Parent's Choice over the National name brands and we saved somewhere around $1400 in the time that we spent formula feeding my twin girls. That's a lot of money! Money that we used for diapers, clothes, and other necessities for them!
Many people are scared to try the store brand infant formulas, fearing they aren't as good as the national name brands. They may not know that the FDA has such strict guidelines and regulations on infant formula, that there truly is no room to skimp on nutrition. Store Brand infant formulas are nutritionally equal to the name brands, they just cost about 1/2 the price. Not sure if you've seen it yet, but check out the Parent's Choice Savings Calculator.. It really puts things into perspective when you see how much money you really do save! http://parentschoiceformula.com/baby-formula-savings-calculator.aspx
