Similac: Total Comfort Review

So I was supposed to do this review on my vlog but as time goes on I am finding it harder and harder to keep up with that and easier to keep up with this blog so I think I'm gonna stick to this instead! With that said, let me get to the review :)

Just wanna say this before I get the whole breast is best debate going on...yes, I agree that breast is best and I fully plan on breast feeding my next baby but that wasn't the case with Adylee. She just wasn't able to so we went down the formula route.

Anyways! Adylee has had so many feeding issues since birth really. We went through pretty much every single formula out there before finding out that she has acid reflex. Even though we found out pretty late I'm happy that we finally have a label (sort of) on what is going on with her, that we're able to start correcting it and that the formula is helping.

I kinda found this formula on a whim during one of my thousands of trips to Target. We had already started giving her the zantac (she was on that first) and it just didn't seem to be making a difference. She was still throwing up everything and not wanting to eat. So then we switched to the Prevacid and it seemed to have helped a tad but she still didn't wanna eat much and was constantly puking formula. I was pretty frustrated. Upon seeing this formula and that it was meant for babies with persistent feeding issues I thought I would give it a try. Didn't hurt that I just gotten a $5 off coupon from Similac in the mail. Within the first day of trying it I could already see the difference it was making. She was eating more solids/table foods and she was drinking her whole bottle instead of an ounce or two and then screaming at me.

So we decided to stick with it and I am so glad that I did! It may be expensive (about $30 for the big tub) but it's worth it for my child to be able to get the nutrients she has needed. I would definitely recommend this to any mom who has a newborn that may be having feeding issues or even a mom who is kinda at her wits end with acid reflex or GERD. 

I also recommend either the Tommee Tippee bottles or the Dr. Brown's bottles for babies who have gas issues. We use the wide mouth Dr. Brown's and Adylee seems to like those better but either one is good :)
