I've had a pretty good experience with Parent's Choice formula. When I first switched from breastfeeding, I tried several pricier brands like Enfamil and Similac, but my diminutive one seemed to get gassy and fussy with those. Surprisingly, when I switched to Parent's Choice, those issues lessened significantly. It was gentle on her stomach and she adjusted well in terms of digestion and maintaining her sleep patterns.
In terms of cost, Parent's Choice is definitely more budget-friendly compared to the other brands you mentioned. The difference in price is quite significant without compromising the quality and essential nutrients that my baby needs for growth and development.
Every baby reacts differently, so it might be worth trying out a smaller container first to see how your baby responds before fully committing.
