OMG – this formula has corn syrup as the #1 ingredient – that worries me!

Similac is a great option to breast feeding, but with the liquid form you have to keep it on ice or refridgerated. Not a great option for a new mom on the move! The powder form has become more practical for us this time around…

My daughter does very well with this formula after months on Enfamil AR. She has much less reflux pain while eating, though her spit ups are about the same with Enfamil AR vs Similac RS.
I would recommend this for babies with swallowing difficulties or reflux as my daughter has. She is doing great on it.

After our preemie twins came home, the doctors had us supplementing breast milk with the Similac Neosure (powder) which the babies hated and fussed over and spit out (and up). They had gas and were constipated and our boy had trouble eating the Neosure and every feeding was a struggle. After buying the sensitive formula while on a road trip because the Neosure unavailable we discovered they like it much more, are eager to eat it and it digests more like breast milk, giving the babies the loose stool that breast does so I felt better about that. Our very fussy boy is eating so much better and we have heard from other twin parents that the rice starch is what makes the difference. I would recommend parents with fussy babies give this formula a go and see if it works as well for them as it did for us.

We just had our second baby in five years with severe GERD/reflux. Luckily, I was able to identify the signs much earlier this time. We also determiend before even leaving the hospital that she was lactose intolerant, as I am. She was first switched from Enfamil Lacto-free to Nutramigen, to Enfamil A.R.(not lactose free), to Enfamil Gentlease (reduced lactose), to Similac R.S. (lactose free with rice starch additive). After the third one, they put her on Zantac and continued on with the formulas until we got to this one and it worked.
It is pricey and only available in ready-to-feed, but it was the ONLY formula that kept my daughter from screaming in pain. She still spits up, but it’s not as much. I might also mention that she was constipated as well before going on this one. Another word of advise to parents whose babies are put on Zantac- it’s much easier to administer if you mix it in with their formula. Our pediatrician told us it’s just as effective that way.
