Similac with Iron - Infant Care (up to 18 months old) Message Board

Hi everyone I was just wondering if anyone another form of Similac? I had my son 4 days ago and when I had my other two kids I had to switch them because the iron was making their poop harder than it should be.....Well seeing as he is 4 days old I noticed that he also has times where ther is just one tiny little piece of poop..he has also had normal diapers but Im a little concerned about the tiny liitle pices that are more formed...any opinions?

i tried the Nestle Good Start for a while. Although, it has Iron is has more proteins and it was easier for the baby to break it down. This was a suggestion from my Dr. It does make them have green poop and it is a little more expensive than Similac or Enfamil but well worth it. If in doubt, check with your ped.

I agree to try the good start. We had the same problem with DS and didn't even try another brand with DD. My friends ped. told her to try it for the same reason and we followed suit and never turned back. I found that the good start is a lot cheaper here it must be certain areas with different prices..
