Review by A. Riley for Similac Advance Early Shield, Formula, Powder, 23.2-Ounces (Pack of 6)

My breast milk wasn’t coming in while we were still in the hospital so my baby came home on this formula until my milk came in. It was easy for him to digest and he thrived on it. He lost a lot of weight in the hospital because my milk wasn’t coming in. Being on this formula for a little over a day made him gain enough weight that the pediatrician felt comfortable discharging him to go home.
Now my milk came in but my baby won’t breast feed from being bottle fed for so long. After pumping for 3 1/2 months and trying to take care of a developmentally delayed 3 year old with no one to help me I am giving up pumping and my baby will be formula fed again. Needless to say I will be using this formula again since I know it was easy for him to digest and he thrived on it. I highly recommend this product.
edited 8/29/09: When I wrote the comment “good price” the seller on this link was amazon.com and the price was $[...]. It’s still excellent formula but with a coupon it’s probably cheaper to get from your local store. We also tend to find lots of sales at local stores.

I bought this 6 pack for 122.99, and was a good value with prime shipping. This is cheaper than Walmart or Target stores. But recently found Costco is offering a bigger sized individual cans at even better price (81 cents per ounce).

Be careful when you order this particular package. It contains only 23.2-ounce tubs. Even with free shipping and no tax the price per ounce is much higher than your local wholesale club. I mention this because the product first came out in these tubs at the wholesale clubs and looks the same as this package. The wholesale club tubs are 34-ounces.
I’m annoyed by this because I don’t usually price or value shop Amazon products. I operate on the assumption that Amazon offers the best value in general. If there is a small difference in price it’s usually made up in free Prime shipping or tax. So beware on these grocery type items.

The regular price on Amazon is NOT a good price. However, I have caught this formula on sale a few times ($119). This makes each container $20, $1 cheaper than Wal Mart. In addition to that, there is no tax in my state and free shipping (aka no traffic, no screaming baby, no idiot blocking the aisle). Great deal for any mommy and daddy.
As far as the formula itself, it’s wonderful and baby is thriving!

This formula didn’t agree with my baby and this is the one they gave her at the Hospital. She was very fuzzy and had lots of colic/gas pains with Similac. I thought this was just because she was a baby with an immature digestive system like every other baby. When she was about 6 weeks old she started crying while feeding and the pediatrician suspected that she had silent reflux and put her on Similac Sensitive RS. She did a bit better but still cried during feedings. After reading a lot of reviews on ALL formulas on the market, I decided to try Good Start. I am so glad I did. My baby is happy now. She is not fuzzy, has not colic/gas pains, and she doesn’t cry while feeding anymore.
On the positive side, I really like the packaging of the Similac formula. I also like the smell and taste and so did my baby, she ate a lot of this formula! Formulas like Enfamil and GoodStart taste really fishy. This is due to the DHA/ARA additives (which I am not thrilled about!). So Similac does a great job with smell and taste as they do have the DHA/ARA in them.
I know some babies who do great on Similac Early Shield though, but unfortunately that wasn’t the case for my baby!
