Customer Reviews:
Nestle Good Start Supreme DHA/ARA formula
This formula has done wonders for our two month old daughter. I breastfeed her, but supplement with formula. We started out with Similac, but she would fight the bottle and she would get really gassy. We switched her over to Good Start and what a difference. She gobbles it down with no problems. I just wish I switched sooner so that she wouldn’t have to deal with the gas every night.
Good formula and a great deal
My two sons have both been brought up on Nestle Good Start with DHA & ARA. After the first three types of formula made my first son throw up all the time (Similac, Enfamil, and Similac Lactose-free), our doctor suggested Good Start and we’ve had much better luck. There must be something to that whole “Comfort Proteins” label on the can.
As for people complaining about the price, I don’t know how they do their math. We’ve bought cans of this stuff from Wal-Mart and Target, and Amazon is cheaper by dollars, not cents. Here are my tips:
1: You love Amazon, so sign up for Amazon Prime. You’ll get the formula in two days without paying shipping. This eliminates people’s claims that shipping makes it more expensive than Wal Mart and people’s complaints that it takes four months (which is a problem with Amazon Grocery early in its genesis, not a problem with the formula itself).
2: Use the Grocery3 or other $10 off promo code while you can. This, combined with Amazon Prime’s free two-day shipping, makes the cost of each can of formula less than $22 with no sales tax. Maybe if you live in Oregon and don’t have sales tax and your local Target or Wal Mart for a goof drops the price to lower than $22 and you happen to live next door to Wal Mart and don’t have to drive there, wait in line, and drive home, you can beat the price.
In summary, this is good formula that lives up to its claim about being easier on babies’ stomachs, and if you work the system, it’s cheaper to have it delivered to your doorstep than to go fight the crowds at your local superstore.
Great formula, good price
I tried this formula after switching from Similac. My son was first started on Similac Advance at the hospital, and tolerated it well until week 2 when he became so constipated we had to give him a suppository per his pediatrician. We tried Enfamil Gentlease, and he seemed to hate it right from the start, then after remembering my cousin rave about this formula with her daughter, we tried the Good start. I wish I had started him off with this from the beginning. He immediately drank it down, unlike the Gentlease which he wouldn’t even take more then a few sucks of. He tolerated it so well, and the constipation was gone. He was still gassy a bit, as all babies seem to be, but nothing excessive like before. For a few weeks he was still a bit fussy when having a bowel movement, but again, it was such a drastic improvement from where we had been prior. As time went by his stools became easier to pass, and now there is no fussing at all. The preparation is easy. You simply add the powder to water and shake. There had been different directions on some older cans with boiling water then adding the powder, but that has since been replaced with the simple, add powder to water and shke version. THere are far fewer bubbles after shaking then the other formula’s I have tried (Similac, Enfamil) and the clumping is minimal. Simply take a spoon etc.. to break up clumps. The smell is tolerable too, and is much better then the other formula’s I have smelled. The price is good as well. Babies r us seems to have the cheapest price at around $20 a can, but other stores like Kmart, Target etc… seem to come in around $23 a can and drug stores (not recommended) come in highest at $25-26 a can. I have actually found grocery stores to be cheaper then independent drug stores for the formula, but by the far babies r us has the cheapest price.
