Customer Reviews of Good Start Gentle Plus Formula, Powder, 25.7-Ounce Cans (Pack of 6)
Customer Review: Amazing product... not a good deal...
Summary: 4 Stars
$150.00 for 6 cans? This is not saving me any money. That come out to be $25.00 a can. I can get this formula at BabiesRUs for somewhere around $20.00 a can. I love the formula, it has been great for my son, but of course I'm going to buy it where it is cheapest.Customer Review: Great Baby Milk formula

If you baby has hard bowel movement switching to good start will help.

My three year old son was put on this at birth. He did just fine and I never had any problems with him digesting, having gas, constipation, ect...
My daughter, that's another story. She got so constipated on this stuff she would go two days without going potty. And she started screaming terribly when she did go. She ended up being switched over to the GS soy, and then the natural cultures.
All in all, it all depends on the baby. Try it on a small can, and then if it works well, go to WIC and have them pay for formula. You can get any type of Goodstart on wic. You just have to have a reason to get something other than the purple or orange can. That is the cheapest way to get it. And wic doesn't go by income. rich and poor both are welcome to wic.
Customer Review: constipating formula
Summary: 3 Stars
My 5 month old seems to like this formula. He eats a lot and spits up a lot. I tried this formula for that reason. He continued to spit up about the same on this formula as he did on the Bright Beginnings Gentle formula.It's not really a concern because he is gaining weight like a champ. However, since he has been on the Gerber Good Start Gentle Plus he has only had a BM every 3 days. He used to have one every 1-2 days. I thought maybe he just needed time to adjust, but after four 25oz. cans we are still not regular. I am switching back to his old formula.Customer Review: Terrible, terrible price.
Summary: 2 Stars
We fed our baby this formula for several months - until we realized that we were spending nearly $150/month on formula alone.
We consulted our pediatrician as well as a pediatric nutritionist, and both told us that there is very little difference in the formulas from major brands because they are heavily regulated.
We then went to Costco where we were able to find the Kirkland brand of formula for $60.00 for six 25.7 oz cans. Read the label - it has all the brain boosting stuff (dha, etc.) as well as nearly identical vitamins, minerals, iron, etc. If you don't want the Kirkland brand, Costco also sells other major brands for similar prices.
If for some reason you really want to pay more to get the Nestle brand, note as well that this 6-pack is at almost no financial advantage to buying a single can - the only benefit is that you get all 6 at once.
By the way, we're big fans of Amazon.com in general - just not on this product.
