When my first daughter was born I bought Enfamil Formula thinking that it was the best. We had tried Similac and that seemed to give her gas and make her spit up. She really did not do well on that. I figured that Enfamil was best and I didn't want to...

My daughter is my second child so I am a lot more flexible about things than I was for my...

Pros: Inexpensive
