Thu Sep 04 2008Our daughter was experiencing terrible colic for a few weeks until we switched to this formula. After being on Alimentum for one full week, her disposition changed drastically. She was no longer as fussy/colicky all the time and was a much happier baby. She seems to really like this formula. Also, it does not bubble up when you shake it like Similac Sensitive does (what she was on before) so it's good for very gassy babies as well. The only downsides are: (1) the price, and (2) it smells awful when prepared and therefore so does everything else if your baby spits up a lot like ours does. But because she's doing so well, we're sticking with it!

Tue Sep 02 2008After 3 weeks of using similac advance, the one that was given from the hospital, my son broke out in rashes and diarrhea one after another. He cried all the time and had very painful gas. He's allergic to Sensitive and Soy based. So I gave him this and it worked magically! Within 24 hours his rashs cleared up and diarrhea was gone. Limited his bowel movement to once or sometimes twice a day. I love this product, yes it smells really bad and very pricey. But he is happy with it. Oh I bought his formula from www.mzmed.com Much cheaper than most website I know of. Check it out......a can of 16oz is less than 20 bucks.

Wed Aug 06 2008My child was born early and developed an allergy to similac advanced as soon as she got out of the NICU. We tried sensitive, we tried low iron, we tried soy (which also has this protein, so if your kid has that allergy it isn't helpful, nothing worked. She cried non stop at feeds. Was breaking out all over her face and well wouldn't poop that frequently. I was freaking out. She's our first. Finally, our doctor said go for this. We had no clue what it was. Well, after the first feed, she was back to herself. What was once an underweight child is now a child my doctor keeps saying looks much bigger than her age. I am so thankful this product exists. Sign your relatives (I mean everyone you know up) for the similac club and use a $5 off coupon every time you buy this. I have found either the Pathmark club (which gives you $15 off for every 100 you spend) or buybuybaby with that coupon can end up being about $20 a bottle. I just wish the powder came in a bigger size. Don't wor... Read more

Sat Mar 29 2008My daughter was born at 37 weeks, and was not able to be breastfed. We tried Good start, similac sensitive, enfamil gentlease... none of which helped her to be more content with her feedings. Within days of starting her on formula out of the hospital, she began to get eczema and it never went away (now we know it was an allergy), but ever since starting Alimentum, it has subsided and I can see my child's face! After just one feeding, she no longer had the belly aches, screaming fits and uncomfortable bowel movements.. this formula is truly a miracle worker for us, at 3 months of age, I am now finally able to truly enjoy my child!

Mon Dec 31 2007At 3 wks old my son was colic. The doctor asked us to try Similac Alimentum for a couple of weeks to see if there was improvement. After seeing the price of course my first thoughts were IT BETTER WORK FOR THAT MUCH PER CAN! Well after about 2 days there was a drastic improvement with my son's temperament. He still gets a little fussy (what baby doesn't) but there are no more 5 hour screaming marathons until 1 AM! The formula does not smell all that great but it is far less foamy when mixed compared to the original. Also, you can get great deals online to save money! i-medica.com sells the formula wholesale with free standard shipping. 132.90 for 6 16oz cans, (about $22 per can vs $28). If your baby is just starting the Alimentum, really give it a good try before giving up! Heather in Arizona
