Lourdes,
I used to stick to Enfamil too (that's what the ped. recommended). Then, I did some research and found that ALL formula companies need to follow very strict guidelines. I've tried the Costco brand since they sell in bulk. I compared the ingredients, and it was identical to the name brands. We never had a problem with it. I think I first read of using generic formula in a book called Baby Bargains.

I've used Target's brand with both of my kids. My son was just fine on it, although I switched to it (got wise, I should say) when he was about 6mos old.

I tried it with my daughter, and she was not pooping very well on it. So we've switched formulas a few times. I'll try it again when she's a little older and her digestive system is little more developed. She's 11 weeks now.

But definitety give one a try. They're all the same ingredient wise. I find that it's the texture that seems to effect kids a little differently.
