Causes constipation

I used Good start formula with my first child 9 years ago. Was using it for a month and to switch formulas because it caused my daughter to be constipated. 9 years later I decided to give it another shot. Still the same outcome. I discovered that parent choice was the way to go.

Great for a break

at times, i struggle to find a balance in my life. My goal is to breastfeed full time but there are days that i am not able to pump enough cause a meeting went too long or had to skip a bump session due to running errands. I don't stress about it because if i don't have enough milk saved up or the daycare split a bottle, i now have a formula i feel good about to use as a supplement. Cause lets be honest, nothing works as planned so a good backup plan is worth having. *I received a free sample in exchange for my honest opinion.

I like that this formula is trying to be close to breast milk, since I am supplementing while I pump, it is one of the things I have really been looking for. My son is almost 6 months old and he did great with this formula. I did receive this product free from PINCHme to try as a sample.

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.

reply from GERBER®

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 received a sample from PinchME for my honest review. I would recommend this formula to any parent who decides to formula feed their little one. It contains all the essential ingredients and is great for baby. My son tolerated it well and I actually noticed less spit up with this formula.

Gentle on tummy!

I recieved a free sample of Gerber Goodstart Gentle formula from PINCHme. I have a 3 month old baby and we were struggling to find a formula that did not make him gassy or constipated. We tried the sample and he has done so much better. He now has soft stools and is growing great. We have switched to Gerber now. The only slight annoyance is it doesn't mix as easily as the brand we were using before. I have to shake it a lot or I end up with formula powder left at the bottom of the bottle. Not a big deal I just know I have to check and shake again if needed.

Pinch me sample Tuesday

I recently got a pinch me sample through the mail and I was so excited to try it. It’s supposed to be very easy and gentle on the stomach that’s why I could not wait to feed it to my baby. Thank you so much pinch me for giving me the chance to try the formula before buying it because my baby loves it !!

Perfect for spit up

My daughter is almost 5 months and we have been through 4 other formulas to try and find one right for her. She has acid reflux and was put on nexuim at 2 weeks old which drove me crazy with her being so young. Her spit ups were curdled and massive. The pediatrician only recommend enfamil and similac but never Gerber. I was researching and came across great reviews, as a mother, I'll try almost anything that could help my girl. Within two days, she was eating more and keeping it down without spit ups. I've taken her off the nexuim after five days on Gerber and she is thriving. Her stools are more frequent without straining. Thank you, Gerber, for making the perfect formula for tiny tummies. I just think it's a shame our doctor never suggested this to help, and she went so long with issues!

Baby loves it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This formula is gentle and effective. It’s easy to use, easy to digest, and the ingredients are exactly safe for what I am looking for. The packaging is sturdy and I am happy with the overall results as my baby loves this!

So thankful to find one she can eat!

After breastfeeding not working out, we had SUCH a hard time finding a formula that didn't upset our little girl's tummy! This was our 6th formula by the time she was 8 weeks old! We'd tried Enfamil and Similac for sensitive bellies, Good Start Soothe (which caused her so much constipation, oddly enough), soy (which is turns out I'm allergic to), and even Alimentum at the doctor's suggestion and none of them worked for her. She was crying so much, spitting up, and by the time we got to the Alimentum, she was barely eating and only keeping down around half of what we could get her to eat. It was so awful! Then her pediatrician suggested we try the Good Start again, but getting a different one. So I bought a can of this without much confidence. We had a different baby from her first bottle! She actually ate 3 ounces, barely spit any of it up, and was able to nap without crying out in her sleep because her belly was hurting. She's such a happy baby now, playing and growing. We're so thankful to have finally found something that she can eat without crying through the entire bottle!
