Good, doesn't dissolve well.

My daughter has been using this every since she was 5 months, I like it at first but then I started noticing it doesn't dissolve very well. I tried pouring the formula first, the water first and shaking it up immediately afterwards, warming the water up seems like it is getting worse by the can. Can you guys do anything to make this dissolve better because I rather have gerber but I will switch her if I need to its really annoying shaking the bottle up tapping the bottom of it too it takes too long and my daughter is a very impatient little girl especially when she wakes up for a bottle at night.

We apologize for this issue and certainly understand waking up hungry and wanting to eat! Here are a couple of tips that may help. Otherwise, we also have product experts on staff that would be more than happy help if you could give us a call. First thing is - before you open a new container of powder, shake the can to "fluff up" the powder. The powder may settle a bit and pack down during shipping. Another tip is to use lukewarm water, but remember when preparing Good Start (Gentle for Supplementing or Soothe formula) that using water warmer than 100 degrees Fahrenheit will compromise the benefits of the natural cultures. You can reach us at 1-800-255-2164 anytime 24/7 and look forward to helping.

Great formula

I recieved a can of Gerber good start gentle formula from pinchme. I have a five month old little girl and was trying different formulas because she was spitting up excessively. I was hesitant to try this formula but I did anyways. This is the only formula that was comforting to her sensitive stomach and helped with the spit up also. I highly recommend this for your child.

Love this formula

I received a sample of Gerber Good Start Gentle Powder formulla from PinchMe. I am absolutely in love with this formula. My grandson was drinking another brand formula and it wasnt agreeing with his tummy. After the first bottle my grandson was a changed baby.

A decent formula with pros and cons

I received a free sample of this formula from PINCHme. I have a 9 month old who I've been feeding Enfamil exclusively. I like that the formula can be shaken quite a bit and doesn't form any bubbles which cause uncomfortable gas. My baby seemed to like the taste as well. A couple cons though. It took A LOT of shaking to be mixed evenly without clumps. A honey-like substance would form at the bottom of the bottle which was pretty difficult to dissolve and took a lot of time to shake clear. I also didn't find the scoop to be very user friendly. The way it's shaped is awkward and caused me to spill formula powder each time I made a bottle. I eventually just tossed the scoop and substituted it for one from an Enfamil powder, even though this is not recommended. Overall a pretty good formula, but I don't think I'd buy it because it can be fairly time-consuming to make a bottle

Absolutely wonderful

I have no problems with this formula, we get it from wic and soon I'm gonna have to start buying more. My baby eats, it's cheaper than enfamil. I was receiving a $20 coupon every month and I would like to know how to get that again. It really helps us out.

Great product.

I got this free from PinchMe. But I would like to say this was pretty good. I'm usually one to stick to a known and tries brand. But if my usual brand, for some reason, wasn't available, I would not hesitate to use Gerber. It was fantastic. No spit up, and my son was full. I love it.

I'm amazed

I received this a month ago from PINCHme and I have to say that I absolutely loved it! My baby is breastfeed but at times when I would like a little break I use this formula. I was a little scepticall at first, since it claims to be the closest thing to breastmilk but my baby absolutely loved it!!!

Great product

I received a full size free sample of the Gentle infant powder from Pinchme.com. it has been such a great product from the first bottle. It relived her gas . She has spit up at all. She has been happier since using this gental formula..no constipation anymore either.

Baby didn't like it

I received this product for free. It was hopefully going to be a great product, except my baby didn't like it at all. After four attempted bottles, we gave up. I'm sure it's great for other babies though. The formula smelled better than other brands, a bit sweeter, actually.

Not a match

We tried switching to Gerber after my baby's first formula starting causing digesting issues. Unfortunately, he could not keep Gerber down and began spitting up or vomiting after every bottle. His gas issues increased as well and he became very fussy following his meals.
