Favorable Review

Less gas than the expensive stuff

AUG

2008

Parents Choice is the only formula my kids have been able to stomach. When you shake the bottle it doesn't foam up like Enfamil or Similac so they have less gas and are much more comfortable. Plus you can't beat the fact that it is also half the price.

Daughter liked it but sick of the brown chunks

OCT

2008

I have been using Parent's Choice Milk Based formula for a few months. I have noticed recently though that I have been finding brown to dark brown chunks in the formula and the formula is inconsistent from can to can. Sometimes the formula is lighter is color and more sticky and sometimes it is... review »

Parents Choice formula available at Walmart and Sams Club is less than half the cost of the name brand formulas.

Its been a life saver financially as we now raise & completly support our 2 grandsons. Although we have 5 kids,at least we had WIC than which we DQF now,so having to pay for formula has saved us alot by buying this brand.

Parents choice mixes well, babies drink it just fine so it must taste okay too.

At times, Walmart and Sams ran a special on Parents Choice by offering it in 33 oz cans for the same price as the 25 oz cans! We pay $11.97 a can.

Parents choice has the exact same DHA/ara...

After another unsuccessful attempt at breastfeeding we had to switch our infant son to formula. We tried 3 other varieties because of how made he would throw up after each bottle feeding. Finally a family suggested trying the Parents Choice brand so I figured it couldn't hurt anything. Awesome, Awesome, Awesome! Finally something that helped my child, no more throw up, no more upset belly and best of all, no more foamy bottles. This formula doesn't have a strong odor like other's do and It doesn't foam up like other's that we have tried. Parent's Choice brand is half the price as other... review »

We don't get any form of assistance therefore formula is a huge cost as most parents know when having a child. This formula is AWESOME and even better due to being half the price as name brand formula! I love it, so does my son! We've tried the samples from the Dr. office of the brand named and he spit up more and seemed to have more gas, on PChoice he doesn't have any problems outside of the fact that he's always wanting more! He is growing according to good health scale and is right with the program on his knowledge and development! I love the price and quality although I wish every once in a... review »

Parent's Choice formula is just as good as others and cheaper!

SEP

2008

Parent's Choice formula is just as good as the three huge name brands out there, but it's half the price. My baby was a spitter so I tried some of the other specialty stuff out there, and none of it worked. I went to using this stuff instead. It certainly didn't make her spit up any more, and she gained weight like any normal baby. She's been happy and healthy now for a whole year on this stuff!

Great Inexpensive Baby Formula

2008

The Parent Choice Milk Based Baby Formula is much like the name brand formulas. The consistency of the powder is just a little different but my children have had no problem taking it. I would highly recommend this to a friend as it is half the price of name-brand formulas.

I had identical twin girls on February 29, 2008. They were started on Enfamil Lipil in the hospital, and due to the high cost of having to buy twice as much formula with twins, I reluctantly asked my pediatrician about using Wal-mart's store brand Parent's choice instead of Enfamil.

After giving me all the free Enfamil that he could from his office, he told me that if we used the Parent's choice corresponding brand milk-based infant formula with iron, it would virtually be the same and would be acceptable to use. He informed me that if the twins had any adverse side effects, to call him immediately. ...

Thank God for Parent's Choice Brand!

When I had my first child, I think Walmart was just starting to carry this brand of formula. At the time he was on a weird kind and they didn't carry it in that brand, so we didn't buy it then...even though we wanted to. With our second child we bought Parent's Choice brand all the time. And now with our third, we are still buying it. Now they also have all the odd kinds available in that brand. It is so much cheaper than the name brand formula. To give you a clue on the difference in price, you can buy a large can of Parent's Choice formula for about the same price or a little less... review »

is it really compairable to similac?

MAY

When I make 8oz bottle with the Parents Choice Formula, there is way to much formula and some of it falls out of the bottle while I am trying to prepair the formula. When I make a bottle with the Similac that I started out with, it fits in perfect! It does seem that the Similac does mix better then the Parents Choice formula and also the consistancy of the powder is a noticiably diffrent. Makes me wonder if they are really compairable? I also had a girlfriend tell me her DR told her not to use the parents choice formula! Before you switch I would definaitly check with your DR first! :) But if they...

Skeptical- but was proven wrong! Less foam=happy baby!

I have been using Enfamil powder which has done great for my son, but it is so expensive. The daycare he goes to will feed them the Parents Choice so I bought a can to try to see if he does ok on it. The formula has a different color and texture, so I was worried, but after shaking it up, I noticed there was hardly any foam! My son has done great so far and less foam makes for a happier baby tummy. I will definitely be switching formulas. It is also a larger can for half the price. The ingredients are exactly the same on each can, same amounts of everything. I'm glad I tried it!

OK FOR PEOPLE ON A BUDGET

I TRIED THIS BABY FORMULA WITH MY SECOND DAUGHTER WHO IS NOW TWO YEARS OLD. THE REASON I DECIDED TO SWITCH TO SOMETHING LESS EXPENSIVE WAS BECAUSE THE POPULAR BRANDS WERE SIMPLY TO EXPENSIVE TO BE A NECESSITY FOR A BABY. BETWEEN BUYING DIAPERS AND FORMULA I WAS GOING BROKE. THIS BRAND IS OK BUT THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH THE FORMULA GETTING CHUNKS IN THE CAN, THE FORMULA WOULD LOOK DIFFERENT FOR MONTH TO MONTH. AND IT WAS NOT AS GOOD A QUALITY AS THE MAJOR NAME BRAND PRODUCTS. IF MONEY IS NOT AN OPTION GO FOR THE BEST, BUT IF YOUR ON A BUDGET THIS FORMULA WILL WORK FINE FOR YOUR BABY.

Mom of twins greatful for Parents Choice Formulas!

I am a new mother to 6 mo old twin girls and very happy that Parents Choice has worked for my girls! They were preemies and were on Enfamil for premature babies just up until the end of january and switched to Enfamil w/ iron. They go thru it like crazy and it is so expensive! So I decided to try Parents Choice which is half the price but same quality. They are tolerating it well and dont seem to mind. I also like that it doesn't foam up so much as the Enfamil brand. I would highly reccommend Parents Choice formula to other moms of multiples and even singletons!

Works great for my son...and saves me money!

As a new mother, I wanted to give my son the best nutrition possible, not to mention the best in every aspect of his life. With adoption, I wasn't able to breast-feed, so I was searching for a formula that would provide the best nutrition for the best value. My doctor recommended the store brands so I took a chance on Parent's Choice formula and found that my son responded just as well to it as the leading name brands! Thank you, Parent's Choice, for providing inexpensive alternatives with the same high quality as leading brands!

Great deal Great Formula!

I started giving my daughter this formula after I got tired of paying the high prices on Enfamil formula! My daughter had no problem with the switch and just loves this formula. She has been growing very well and doing great eating it. It also mixes well with Enfamil if you get an occasional free sample. Would highly recommend this formula to any formula feeding mom who is strapped for cash or just wants to save a little.
