After trying multiple other formulas, our pediatrician put my daughter on this. It has helped tremendously with her digestion issues! There is far, far less vomit, spit up, and general discomfort.
The only downside is the smell (kind of like old French fries) and the insane cost.
Expensive but worth it. Our pediatrician recommended this formula for our newborn that was both a little colicky and Dealing with acid reflux. She has now been on this formula for almost 4 months, no problems and easy to digest. We are coming out of the acid reflex stage so we will be weaning her off of this formula during month 4-5. Yes this formula may be expensive but it really did help settle our little one’s tummy. I would definitely recommend !
Within 24hrs of using this formula, my daughter went from screaming to sleeping and waking into a happy beautiful child. If your child suffers with colic then give this a try! This is expensive but similar to breastmilk and a good alternative to trying to eliminate potential irritants from your diet.
We first started with Similac Pro Advance and thought the fussing, back arching and constant gas was just a baby being a baby. Our daughter is our first child and everyone told us, including the pediatrician that this is just how babies are and gave us all sorts of pointers to try and reduce the gassiness. She didn't scream and cry incessantly but was definitely uncomfortable A LOT of the time always twisting and arching during feeding and for a while after.
One day just after her two month birthday we changed her diaper to find a little bit of blood in her stool and of course we completly freaked out. Called the pediatrician immediately , they took us in that night along with the dirty diaper and gave us sample cans of Alimentum saying she most likely has a milk protein insensitivity. The change was IMMEDIATE and GREAT. No problems since.
The formula is expensive and I hope Similac only charges this because production costs are more, and not to gouge customers who have few other choices. But it is what it is, and it's only temporary until she grows out of it.
Our precious little baby continues to do great on this formula over a month later and only has a minor reflux problem that seems to be getting better too.
the doctor had originally recommended nutramigen for our baby girl but she would go a few days without pooping and feeling uncomfortable. This is the only formula my three girls have been able to drink without having issues.

This formula is so very expensive. When you have a baby that requires specialized nutrition, you don’t have a lot of options. This set of 4 cans, when purchased on subscribe and save, really does help make it a little bit less painful to buy formula!
This was the third formula that we tried before we found this solution. It is twice as expensive as most others but keeps my baby happy and not fussy
Works well for our son. We've used this and Nutramigen interchangeably.
This product saved my babies belly and intolerance issues. It does smell weird and most likely taste bad. Great money saver when purchasing through here.
My kid had problems with the standard formulas, this was the solution for him. It’s a little pricy, otherwise it would had been a 5
