Summary: Good formula for sensitive systems
Comment: After our preemie twins came home, the doctors had us supplementing breast milk with the Similac Neosure (powder) which the babies hated and fussed over and spit out (and up). They had gas and were constipated and our boy had trouble eating the Neosure and every feeding was a struggle. After buying the sensitive formula while on a road trip because the Neosure unavailable we discovered they like it much more, are eager to eat it and it digests more like breast milk, giving the babies the loose stool that breast does so I felt better about that. Our very fussy boy is eating so much better and we have heard from other twin parents that the rice starch is what makes the difference. I would recommend parents with fussy babies give this formula a go and see if it works as well for them as it did for us.

Summary: This is a GOD-SENT formula for babies with reflux/GERD!
Comment: We just had our second baby in five years with severe GERD/reflux. Luckily, I was able to identify the signs much earlier this time. We also determiend before even leaving the hospital that she was lactose intolerant, as I am. She was first switched from Enfamil Lacto-free to Nutramigen, to Enfamil A.R.(not lactose free), to Enfamil Gentlease (reduced lactose), to Similac R.S. (lactose free with rice starch additive). After the third one, they put her on Zantac and continued on with the formulas until we got to this one and it worked.
It is pricey and only available in ready-to-feed, but it was the ONLY formula that kept my daughter from screaming in pain. She still spits up, but it's not as much. I might also mention that she was constipated as well before going on this one. Another word of advise to parents whose babies are put on Zantac- it's much easier to administer if you mix it in with their formula. Our pediatrician told us it's just as effective that way.

Summary: Great product, but what a hassle...
Comment: Similac is a great option to breast feeding, but with the liquid form you have to keep it on ice or refridgerated. Not a great option for a new mom on the move! The powder form has become more practical for us this time around...

Summary: FANTASTIC
Comment: My daughter is 5 months old and has been struggling since the day she was born with constipation, gas, and reflux. We've tried formula after formula after formula, nothing but vomit and severe constipation. Finally we found a formula that helped with her constipation but she was still having problems with her reflux, even with added rice. The drs however continued to say she was at a steady growing rate so there was nothing to worry about. Well, one day I ran out of formula and ran to the store to pick up some more. FORTUNATELY, the store was out of the Similac Alimentum. Nearing her feeding time, I was in a rush, so I glanced over the other formulas to find one that would be the closest match. I just happened to pick up Similac Sensitive R.S. Now not only is she not spitting up, she's staying full longer, sleeping through the whole night, and SHE'S NOT GASSY OR CONSTIPATED!!! HURRAY! Another minor pro is that it doesn't reek like the Alimentum does. Kind of smells like Vanilla Flavored Ensure. I called all my friends just days after buying the product and recommended it to everyone. I couldn't be anymore grateful.
