Customer Review: Awesome Buy
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great way to save. My husband and I have three children ages 6 yrs, 4 yrs, and 3 months. I had started out breastfeeding but had complications with the baby latching on. So we started buying her formula 2 months ago. The Hospital had given us samples when we had her, so we tried the type before we bought any. What a great transition she had and this formula seems not to mess her system up. We were buying 10 of the regular size cans a month, which are priced at $14 a piece in store. Plus the gas to get to there and time it takes to get all three children in car and store is way more that what this item cost with two day shipping. We shopped online, and this is the cheapest we found. I loved Amazon before, but now I love it even more because I only have to do a limited amount of baby food shopping for her solid foods.Customer Review: Love this formula and love the shipping!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the second child upon which I have used this formula, and it's great. My first son had a real sensitive stomach when we went from nursing to formula, and the formula I used with my daughter did not work for him. So we tried GoodStart and it instantly made a difference in his gas issue. So with our second son we didn't even question using something else, we went straight for GoodStart. As it turns out Amazon sells it for a dollar or two less than the store.
And I love the shipping, we live in a pretty rural area and to get to a big named store is an hour drive. Which with the cost of gas that's a trip we don't often take, so we signed up for Amazon Prime strictly because we could have formula delivered in two days- free! For me and my family this has been a win-win situation.
Customer Review: Good and bad experiences.

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: Good buy Good for baby
Summary: 4 Stars
I switched from Similac to Good Start when my son was 2 momth old because of the recent recall and my son's worsening reflux. I tried other brands too, but my friend recommended it since her son with reflux benefitted from Good Start. So far it's been good. It has very little foam unlike Costco's brand and it mixes well. The special gentle whey protein must be helpful; my son burps fast and digests well. No foul smell. Now's he grew out of reflux. The only thing I don't is how i need to punch out the formula scoop out of this circular plastic shape and the lid doesn't have the scoop holder to keep it dry and away from touching the formula. But, my husband and I are careful and it's only a mere inconvenience.Customer Review: Caused horrible constipation
Summary: 2 Stars
I'm sure it just depends on your child and their needs. We originally were using Similac but had to go on WIC and were put on Gerber Good Start Gentle Plus. Immediately he started having horrible constipation and hard bowels. We had to put juice in the formula just to keep him regular and it was always a balancing act, especially once he started solids. Recently we were once again able to pay for formula and switched back to similac. Immediately he was regular again, irregardless of being on solids. So for some this may be great, but if your child has constipation on it, you may just try a different brand formula, not necessarily switching to soy or a specialty kind.
