In my opinion Enfamil. Babies (by Studies) have reacted to Enfamil way better. The program WIC actually use to give out Enfamil, because I asked my worker, and she said they couldn't get funded to do it anymore, but it's better for the baby. I noticed a lot less fussiness and gas in my baby when I used Enfamil. I personally don't like Similac at all. It also stinks more. SO your best bet, to me, is to buy Enfamil. Hope that helps! :)

There is no better or worse. My nephew takes Similac, Enfamil makes his acid reflux worse. My daughter is just the opposite. There is also Nestle Goodstart that some parents in our area swear by, and also Parent's Choice, which tends to be the cheaper brand. It all depend on the baby's reaction to the formula. The best thing to do is start with one, if it doesn't agree with the baby, the pediatrician will suggest a different brand.

All formulas are really created equal in terms of vitamins and nutrients they contain, but different brands may affect your baby's stomach. I started out with Enfamil, and my baby had infrequent bowel movements. She felt better on Similac, but to be honst with you, I found Carnation Good Start to be the best one for my baby.

The BEST is breastmilk but if you choose to feed formula it's more of a personal decision added to what the baby tolerates best. I breastfed my son, but on the rare occassion he had formula we always used Similac. We used it because our Pediatrician recommended it and our son never had a problem with it. Had he had a problem we probably would've have switched to something else.

It depends on the baby. They each react differently to formulas. What works for one will not work for another! Buy one of each and see which one your baby likes most. That will tell you! My son would only drink ProSobee when he was a baby. Anything else would make him vomit. I tried everything, but that was the only thing that worked. So honestly, let the baby decide what he or she likes!
