I have used similac...similac advanced and alimentum. Right now my 2 month old is on similac advanced and he is doing fine on it. My 3rd daughter had a lot of weight issues so we ended up trying alimentum after a bunch of other formulas and nothing really worked. She didnt startt gaining weight until we took her off formula and put her on milk and started real food. I have always used name brand stuff so I m not really sure about the store brand kind.

I use Enfamil and Kirkland (Costco brand). They seem to prefer Kirkland and you get 2 huge containers for $30.

The brands don't make any difference. Your baby might not like certain ones though. He/She also may not be able to tolerate some. My DS had bad acid reflux and a milk intolerance so he ended up with prescription formula.

For the longest time we used Enfimil but went to a brand called Makers Mark (from Sam's Club). You can get a super large container for $20. The ingredients are exactly the same in the Enfimil and the other one, but the texture is different. That was it! Oh, and the other one was a lot cheaper. I checked to make sure the ingredients were the same though and they were. My daughter was allergic to Similac.

We use Enfamil Premium, I have tried the store brand many times and my son hates the taste.

My LO had acid reflux issues so he ended up on Nestle Goodstart Gentle Plus.  But for those babies that don't have issues I have heard store brands work fine.  My friends are on the walmart brand or BJ's brand.
