If you have FF'ed your baby(s), which formula brands did you try and which one did you prefer?

We used similac with my daughter 5 years ago and plan to use it again with our little one on the way. No complaints on it. Make sure you sign up on their website for coupons!

Used free Similac samples we had and then used the generic Sam's Club brand, which if you look on the label is almost identical to Similac.

I BF'ed but supplemented with formula starting at about 3 months for each baby.

I tried Similac and Enfamil. Both of my kids preferred Similac. My son would burp up an entire bottle of Enfamil, so I am guessing he was allergic to it. So, he was all Similac from there on.

i tried similac and enfamil with my older two and they didnt do well with it, the doctor tried to put them on soy which i hate cuz it smells gross (and makes their poo smell even worse) then we switched to good start. i love good start all my kids have done great on it. but each baby is different

Ooops! I read that FF as force fed and thought that was quite mean of you to force feed your babies! lol I think I read it wrong b/c a few weeks I'd been force feeding my cat who was sick and it's still on my mind.

I'm still waiting for my baby so I'm not sure which formula I'll use yet or when I'll use it and how often. I'm going to breast feed but want to have some formula on hand in case my boobs need a break or some like that or maybe I'm sick or whatever. I got a free sample of Heinz and am waiting on a free sample of Nestle.

I suplemented with formula and used the type that comes in disposable prepared bottles. Good Start, I think it's called.

With my first I used good start then with my second I used the generic walmart brand which is comparable to similac. I will probably use that again as look as this baby likes it.
