Customer Reviews

This stuff is great!
My son unfortunately was unable to breastfeed and could not tolerate any other formula out there. This may be expensive, but it has been worth every penny. It has solved his bellyaches and has helped tremendously with his colic symptoms. My husband and I noticed a huge difference in our son's behavior after just one bottle. We got our calm, good-natured baby back because of this formula :)

Thank God for Alimentum!
At 3 wks old my son was colic. The doctor asked us to try Similac Alimentum for a couple of weeks to see if there was improvement. After seeing the price of course my first thoughts were IT BETTER WORK FOR THAT MUCH PER CAN! Well after about 2 days there was a drastic improvement with my son's temperament. He still gets a little fussy (what baby doesn't) but there are no more 5 hour screaming marathons until 1 AM!

The formula does not smell all that great but it is far less foamy when mixed compared to the original. Also, you can get great deals online to save money! i-medica.com sells the formula wholesale with free standard shipping. 132.90 for 6 16oz cans, (about $22 per can vs $28).

If your baby is just starting the Alimentum, really give it a good try before giving up!

great formula for sensitive babies
Okay... first I will give you my history, my daughter was born at 36 weeks and put on regular Similac Advance, she puked like a marathon puker at the hospital before they put her on the Similac Sensitive (lactose free) that helped. At about 2 weeks, vomitting again, but only about once or twice a day. It was pretty projectile and I worried about the anatomy of her digestive system. After an upper GI we learned that all was well, but that she did have reflux. After the reglan, she was still vomitting pretty agressively so I mentioned the formula. My dr. agreed that trying Alimentum would be a good thing - well, she is now almost 4 months and NO MORE PROJECTILE VOMITTING!!! I am thrilled to not have to worry about that anymore. The formula is stinky, but oh well... my baby is comfy! Recently, my daughter has been getting hungry more often (still drinking 4 - 5 oz every 4 hrs) and the dr suggested I try her on Similac Organic so that she can maybe be full enough to sleep thru the night. I am tempted but oh so scared!!! I know Alimentum is very thin and probably not filling her up, but it does her tummy good! I was very impressed with this product.
