If you have a preemie baby this is the best solution for your newborn.
This formula does not only have 2 calories more it provides your baby with much higher doses of vitamins and minerals that it needs so much. Compare the nutritions with regular formulars and you will see the differences. But watch the amount per serving - this one has 4.5 ounces, others have 5 ounces.
Our newborn farts a lot too but under no circumstances I would risk the development of my baby's brain and body to reduce his farts.
It's expensive but your baby should be worth it. There are other ways to save this 20-30 Dollars a month.
Don't change this formula for at least 6 months or when your pediatrican recommends it.
My baby is gaining weight very well and he is used to it now.Smell is bad though and sometimes it causes gas and indigation...not sure it is because of enfamil or not as he didn't have any other product. But we are happy with it.
My preemie daughter switched to this from the "regular" Enfamil, and has gained weight steadily ever since. We also switched to a fast flow nipple, which helped as well.
My baby was premature. I solely breastfed while he was in the hospital, but after he was discharged, my breast milk supply needed to be supplemented. I tried all sorts and still looking for a better formula. He gained a great deal of weight, but I don't attribute that much to the formula, since he was only getting 3-4 oz a day. But now, he spits it up a lot...I am looking for something better. This formula is alright, but it's got corn syrup as its main constituent. I don't think that's necessarily good. Also, you're better off buying it from a local drugstore; it's at least a few dollars cheaper.
