Formula Experts ?!?

Question

So my daughter is 11 weeks old. I breast feed and supplement with formula. Ever since she left the hospital, she’s been on similac pro advance. Lately she’s been drinking more formula than my breast milk bcz of my low supply, however, formula is expensive. I found this tub at Sams for waaaay cheaper. I know it says “compares to the nutrition of similac pro-advance” but idk if it’s a good idea to switch to that sams brand bcz it’s cheaper. Ladies what do you think ? The last thing I want is to mess with my daughter’s stomach....

Answer

My son did terrible with the Walmart brand, which is the Sam’s brand. He had absolutely no issues with Costco’s brand, Kirkland. The Kirkland brand is actually made in the same factory as Similac. 
I know having each membership can be pricey, but that’s just my experience.

Answer

Have you tried WIC before it's a state to state government run program I would look into it

Answer

I used the parents choice (Walmart brand) that was 'similar to similac' and we had no problems.

Answer

I used it with my son. We switched from the name brand to this and he did fine. It is not the same as Walmart brand. I’m pretty sure it’s the exact same thing as the name brand. We used it exclusively for several months and never had any issues. Don’t feel bad for wanting to save money! Kids are expensive!

Answer

My son was on the similac pro advance and we switched to the members mark advance formula. He did completely fine with it. The ingredients are all the exact same, but it is sooo much cheaper than similac. I would say it’s worth the try to save that much money 🙂

Answer

I use the parents choice walmart brand that compares to similac and my daughter switched back and forth with ease between it and breastfeeding. We never had any issues and my wallet was much happier with the cheaper brand too haha

Answer

We switched from similac pro sensitive to to the sams brand of sensitive and had no issues. I compared ingredients and it’s literally almost the exact same thing. There is only one ingredient that’s a few mg off. 
Also compared the sams brand to the parents  voice (Walmart) and they have the exact same ingredients. No different ingredients/amounts. I haven’t tried that one yet but it’s good to know if you can’t get to sams but Walmart is close.

Answer

My son uses enfamil gentlease. I get a few cans a month through wic, but the rest of the time we use the parents choice brand from Walmart. I believe parents choice also has some comparable to similac.

Answer

I haven't personally tried anything but name brands but I keep seeing comments like this on my July Mom groups... 🤷🏼‍♀️
