Parent's Choice Formula - Sold at Walmart

[jvorhis]

Has anyone used this brand? What do you think? I was thinking of switching.

Thanks

All store brand formula, regardless of where they are sold (Walmart, Target, Costco, Safeway, etc.) are made by one company, Wyeth Nutritionals. While not a big player in the US formula market, they are huge in Europe. Here's their website:

Like all infant formulas sold in the US, it meets all the FDA standards for infant formula.

And here's a site that compares some of the major formulas:

I use the Parent's Choice with DHA and ARA added. Dylan didn't seem to notice or mind when I switched from the more expensive Similac with DHA and ARA. He was always flexible and went from breast to bottle to breast very easily. I switched to the Walmart brand when I saw that the DHA/ARA additive was made by the same company for Similac, Enfimil, and Parent's Choice. The price is MUCH better!

HTH,

Do you know which is better price wise? We are still nursing, but will be going to formula in a few months. Costco is close by, but we could go to a Wal-Mart if needed.
