SimilacAlimentum with 2'-FL HMO Hypoallergenic Infant Formula, for Food Allergies and Colic Due to Protein Sensitivity, Ready-to-Feed Baby Formula, 8-fl-oz Bottle, Pack of 24

I’m not a first time Mom. I have several children. I thought all my experience meant something, I thought wrong. My newborn was born in January. Soon as he was delivered at 37 weeks, he seemed so uncomfortable. The nurses noticed too and suggested in the hospital to put him on Enfamil gentlelease. So we continued it at home till we seen the pediatrician a few days later for weight check. He was having over 15 poops a day. He was also not resting at all and all red face from gas and crying. We couldn’t put him down. The pediatrician said it was a lactose allergy and to switch to Similac sensative as it had no lactose compared to the Enfamil gentlease. Well we did that for a month and my baby was still struggling.Would not sleep more then a half hour peacefully and it would be only in our arms. We were sleepless. I could not place him down at all in a swing or a bouncer before he wake up crying in pain. We were doing gas drops as well and he was still very unsettled. Waiting for his two month check up seemed so far away. So I went ahead and bought a case of this formula. Let me tell you that it was within 24 hours my baby complexion showed through. He wasn’t a red pepper after all. Within 48 hours we got a huge smile and coos. That was amazing. Within 36 hours he slept in his bassinet for three hours stretches the first time since he was born and not in my arms. He woke up just for feeds and went back down with ease. His reflux improved. No more projectile vomiting through his nose and mouth. No more choking and coughing. No more congestion fromThe milk. I have a happy baby now. One that more comfortable. No more walking around like a zombie, sleepless and trying everything you can read and purchase to sooth a colic baby. This stuff is liquid gold. It was our saving grace. I get to enjoy him more at this tiny stage. I get to be full functional with more rest and less stress. Do not hesitate to get it. Does it have a weird smell? .Well, we joke the baby smells like a potato but I will take that over covered in vomit and changing outfits and more crying changing him. Does it taste bad. I tasted it, it sweet at first then leaves a bitter after taste. It’s not that much different in taste then other Similacs.Does it work? It absolutely does! Is it worth the price? Yes it is compared to all the gas drops, gripe water, every bottle that swears to reduce gas and colic, bouncers, swings and carriers we purchased and who knows what else we would of gotten just to get some rest. It is so worth it. Happy baby makes for more bonding and more functional parents. A new baby will have you up at nights for feedings and changes but there a whole new ball game when it’s just what you expect. Compared to crying, unsettled, screaming in pain red faced. You feel hopeless when you can’t help your baby or take away their pain. Don’t hesitate to try it. It’s a saving grace.Update: I joined Similac rewards the coupons online have been pretty good and ordering as well directly from them you get 5 percent off when it’s not available here on Amazon.

Purchase due to baby allergy not impressed with cost but baby is doing better now.

Best price when bought by the case. This was the best formula for my granddaughters for the first year.

The only formula that worked for my son and daughter’s sensitive tummy. I wish I tried it sooner to prevent the painful cries from gas. It is much more than I would like to send on formula but worth it for a happy baby.

What can I say, I'm sure most first time parents like us went down this formula rabbit hole. My son was born preemie at 29 weeks and 3 days! Long story short while in the hospital that had him taking half breastmilk/neosure. We were finally discharged when my son was 2 1/2 months old. :) Thank goodness the universe made sure our little nugget was perfectly healthy and no major issues. FAST FORWARD. My son is now 5 1/2 months. When he came home my milk supply dropped and dried out. He was 3 1/2 months at this time. We gave him neosure thinking because he was already taking it it would be ok...IT WAS NOT! My poor baby arched, cried, was in visable pain, constipated, projectile vomiting the whole nine! So we went down the formula rabbit hole tried basically everything pro sensitive, total comfort, the list goes on. I reached out to one of his NICU nurses and she suggested Alimentum. While definitely more expensive it was the MAGIC JUICE that returned my baby back to his calm happy self. :) Definitely easier on his tummy and he went from being 3lbs at birth now at 5 1/2 months (3 months adjusted) my baby is a healthy 12lbs 9oz! He poops every other day and is just the happiest baby ever! I definitely recommend Alimentum to any parent out there suffering from the same kind of issues we were faced with after running dry on breastmilk. SHIPPING IS AWESOME since we have it on autoship every two weeks, PACKAGING ALWAYS COMES IN TACT, NO DELAYS! Very happy with our purchase and HAPPY BABY! Thank you ALIMENTUM for brining back our happy little nugget! <3** SHORTER CHAINS in this formula is the key to making it easier to digest for babies with smaller tummies. Milk based formulas have longer chains which makes it harder for some babies to digest as their tummies are still developing. It's not as thick as the other formulas, thus we feed my son about 3oz every 2 hours give or take. This will vary with each baby but I do also notice he gets hungry faster than when he was on my breastmilk and neosure. Its also not a high calorie diet like NEOSURE so make sure to discuss with your pediatrician if your LITTLE ONE requires a high calorie diet. <3 I hope this helps!

Best formula for CMPA . This formula saved us . My baby is now happy with 0 tummy issues . We are both so happy !

My CMPA baby was miserable before switching to Alimentum at about 2 months of age. Almost immediate improvement in gassiness and fussiness. Stool also stopped being mucousy. I expected the taste to be awful after tasting partially hydrolyzed Gentlease, but surprisingly, this doesn’t take half as bad. Baby also accepted it right away. Pediatrician recommended Alimentum and Nutramigen but only gave us samples of Alimentum, because they didn’t have any Nutramigen samples left. Glad we tried this first - Nutramigen is a lot more expensive and harder to get for some reason. My only complaint about this is the packaging. What is up with these cans? Quite inconvenient for traveling when baby can’t finish a whole can (8oz) in 1-2 feedings.

Works well for my twin girls. However, the smell is disgusting and the ingredients are not the best
