Had both my daughters on it. Did so much research on formula in case I couldn't breast feed. After trying 3 months of breastfeeding with both girls, I stopped producing milk and needed to supplement.
Because of the probiotics it helped my babies with digestion. Its easy to make, loved the fact you could make a pitcher at a time and put in in the fridge.

No parent should ever have to explain, justify or apologize for how they feed their child(ren). There is nothing wrong with formula feeding a baby because you choose to or because you have to. The only person who has the right to ask is the baby's doctor.

I have two children and both were supplemented with formula. Nestle GoodStart was not the formula of choice for my first child but it was the formula recommended by our second baby's pediatrician. My baby suffered from acid reflux for the first 10 months of her life. The first several months were especially difficult. While we waited for a diagnosis, we experimented with all of the brand name formulas. We found that our preferred brand for our first child did not seem to sit as well with our second child.

Her pediatrician recommended Nestle GoodStart. He said that while all formulas are good, GoodStart is a little bit easier for babies to digest and that it is, in his opinion, just a little bit better than other brands. Our daughter did well on GoodStart. We experienced minimal spit up and only two incidents of vomiting, both of which are common in babies with acid reflux. I can't say if that's luck or partly due to the formula.

Our daughter happily drank her formula and was satisfied by it. She switched between breast milk and formula with no issues. We usually bought the powdered formula, which was easy to find on sale. The ready to feed jars were handy for travel and I usually kept a couple in the diaper bag in case we were out and about and she needed to eat. I found the liquid concentrate difficult to find and more expensive than some of the other brands, which was disappointing as I prefer the concentrate to the powder. However, the packaging for the powder was redesigned shortly after we started using it and the new design makes it much easier to use all of the product with minimal waste.

Nestle also has one of the best sample programs for new mothers. We received a backpack with a change pad, a magazine and formula samples. Formula is not cheap and I greatly appreciated the free samples that allowed us to find the right formula for our children.

I would not hesitate to recommend GoodStart.

when i was ready to introduce baby formula to my baby, i started with samples i received. she just was not into them. it is either she spits up often or only takes a little. However, when i received Nestle Good Start 1 and introduced it to her, it was like a snap! she gulped everything. in a short time, i even had to increase her servings. she loves the taste, no spits, no fussiness, and i like the smell too! i still use it and i have no issues. got value for my money.

He was fussy and not settling, settled better for peaceful night sleep.

This formula is easy on baby`s tummy, didn`t seem to upset her. I breastfeed but use Nestle Good Start to supplement when I am at work and Dad takes over. It was also a bonus when I ate something that didn`t agree with her and she got so fussy she wouldn`t eat for me.

Mixes well and doesn't clump! Babe loves it! Baby seems to think it's delicious and the price isn't too high either. More coupons would be nice though.

While breast is best, the option to breast feed or even feed pumped breast milk is not always available. As a new mom, I struggled with breastfeeding in the first few days (weeks, months) after delivering my baby. This was especially true until my milk came in. During this time, I needed to supplement with infant formula to nourish my child. As I had samples of Nestle Good Start ready-to-serve formula on hand, that was what I used. Even in those early days, the formula was gentle and well-tolerated by my newborn. Breastfeeding became easier and I exclusively fed my baby that way for the first 6 months. However, with the introduction of solids, increase in the amount of solids, and then other hormonal fluctuations, my milk supply dipped. I soon came to the point where my milk was not enough. Fortunately, I turned to a tried and true formula - this time the Nestle Good Start in powder form. While obviously not as easy as the ready-to-use variety, my decision did not disappoint. My son happily gobbled up the prepared formula. I felt good about serving it to him. I would recommend Nestle Good Start to any mom looking to feed infant formula to their baby.

When I learn that I could no longer breastfeed my kids, I did an extensive research for the next best option. Nestle Good Start seemed to be recognized by a lot of mother as a faithful and best option next to breast milk. I was very anxious to use formula but boy was I ever wrong. Not only did the little one loved it (well I think he did hihi) but it's easy to prepare and has a lot of convenient packaging for the on-the-go mom. It's a bit expensive but totally worth it!

Was the best formula I used with my children. They didn't get bad gas or belly pains from in. They didn't spit up a lot and did not have a hard time digesting it.

I was using Similac at first which made my Baby boy constipated as soon as I switched him over to good start he started having regular poops everyday sometimes twice. He loves it and refuses to eat other formula, the price and quality are fantastic and a happy baby makes a happy mommy!
