    Just wondering if there is really a difference (other than the price) of these two? Any way we can save money would be great ;) Any of you use the Wal-mart brand?

    I use the wal mart brand off compare to similac sensitive and my boys love it. You should give it a try. Parent's Choice is good IMO.

    I used PC formula also. There is no difference according to my ped, as all formulas are regulated by the FDA. The babies did great and we saved lots of $$!

    I tried it with my LO's but they both got the runs and a diaper rash so we switched them back to the Enfamil. I was so looking forward to saving $13/can. I might try them again on it in the future.

    We tried with A&R back when they were teeny-tinies, but A's reflux flared up quite badly. We tried again after a few months and gradually changed, and there were no problems that time.

    I thought they would have been identical forumulations and able to switch back and forth between the two, but there's got to be something different or else we wouldn't have had the issues that we did. Of course, try it, it might work perfectly for you. :)

    Hi, we've tried costco, target and walmart. I didn't like the way costco foams up in the bottle. We ended up sticking with Target brand (not for any specific reason, except they seem to 'like' it the best and it's near our house). Our pediatrician said it's fine. The cost savings is fantastic!

    We used and loved the Walmart brand. I never noticed any difference with my two on PC. Saved lots of money! :good:

    I think the Costco Brand is very much like Goodstart. We used Kirkland Brand from Costco with our son and it was fine. We are using up all the samples we received with having our Twin Girls and then we plan to follow with the Kirkland Brand. I also like the Walmart Brand aswell.

    The Wal-mart brand made my son constipated. We ended up switching back Similac for him. I wished he could have drank it, it would have saved a lot of money.

    I used Similac and the Target equivalent and even the labels were EXACTLY the same, just with different name brands. I used to combine the two to same money. I was kind of addicted to Similac and couldn't let go completely. I know...I think I :umm: .

    I used the Walmart brand from the minute my girls came home... Camryn had very bad reflux so we used the Walmart Gentle brand for her and it worked great! Loved saving the $$$!!! We had no issues switching, I think a lot of ppl are brand shoppers and dont give it a chance to work- like my sister, lol :)
