  • Used this with my oldest daughter when she was young after I breast fed for a little while and she did great on this formula. It was very gentle on her stomach. Nov 03, 2023

  • My son has been using this for 6 months and he spits up less. He loves it! Jul 06, 2021

  • When we decide to switch baby over to formula, this is what we've used for our last 5 babies. It is SO gentle, and keeps baby's bowel movements similar to when they are exclusively breastfed. May 23, 2021

  • I love that the containers are larger now and that the formula does not have the horrible smell or stain even the whitest clothes! Other formulas smell and stain terribly Aug 05, 2020

    This formula was her favorite for the first few months. Everything else made her constituted, so our dr recommended this formula since the proteins are broken down more. Dec 21, 2019

  • We used this when our 5 year old was a baby. Dodnt have a problem with it. Sep 19, 2019

    I found this marked down at a Wal Mart near me and wasn't sure if I should try it, but figured for the price it was worth a try. No issues and I like that they make it easy to find the scoop in cans. Jul 26, 2019

  • I used this formula Brand with all 3 of my kids and we never had a problem with it. No upset stomachs or spit ups Jul 03, 2019

  • Currently using this for my 6 month old babe, so far so good! Gerber is ALWAYS having great deals at Target! Jun 25, 2019

  • My favorite formula! I also love that we can switch between soothe and gentle and not worry about extra tummy trouble. Although Gerber doesn't offer coupons I have found really good deals! Jun 02, 2019

  • Used it with both my older children and they mever had any problems on it. Wish I still had it now but our wic program no longer uses it. Mar 19, 2019

  • We are supplementing with this. Easy on baby's stomach and has helped with his spitting up. It doesn't smell like many formulas Mar 11, 2019

  • Have used this with both of my girls, it’s very gentle on their stomachs with the broken down proteins. Feb 25, 2019

    It's ok but I think enfamils gentle formula is better on little tummys. My baby still had stomach problems with this. Feb 08, 2019

  • I hated the only formula daughter did not tolerate it at all gave her bad gas and belly aches. They now have a new formulation supposed to be better we will see Sep 29, 2018

  • my son didnt liked, he puke a lot with this one. Sep 26, 2018

  • I was bummed when I had to give up breastfeeding and had to switch to formula. My doctor recommended this one and my little one loves it. Sep 25, 2018

  • I tried to breastfeed but that didn't work so i started using similac pro advance and it seemed to make my daughter constipated. So i was told to try Gerber and i have not had any problems so far. Aug 31, 2018

  • This product made my baby very gassy. Jul 24, 2018

    • Annie M.

    This and the supplementing version were the only formulas my daughter could drink without getting extremely gassy. Jul 08, 2018

  • Worked well for my daughter. Very expensive though. Can usually find coupons for this formula. Jul 03, 2018

  • This is the only formula I have used for all 3 of my babies. Gerber is our go to brand for almost all of our baby essentials. The gentle seems to be perfect for their little tummies. Jul 01, 2018

  • this gave our baby extreme gas and upset stomach. Jun 27, 2018

    • Kelly C.
    • United States of America

    I had such a gassy baby and was having trouble with breast feeding supply. So after a few other formulas I stuck with this one and loved it, when she got older I switched to target brand of similac. Jun 21, 2018

  • My daughter loves this! It doesnt give her colic or as much gas. She also doesnt spit up. Its the closet thing to breast milk! Jun 18, 2018

  • We tried this with our baby, and while it was better than the one before, it still didn't quite work for him. But what we did like was that when it mixed, there were almost no bubbles in it. Jun 05, 2018

  • My son couldn’t digest the protein in this formula had to switch type of formula May 08, 2018

  • Worst formula for my kids. Upset their stomachs to no end May 05, 2018

  • We use this after trying numerous others! It has been the best so far! Mar 28, 2018

  • My daughter had a tough time eating in the hospital when she was born, when she was given this she ate. I love this formula. She’s still on it and is about to be 9 months! It never upsets her belly Mar 27, 2018

  • My baby didnt love this formula. I ended up taking her off after a couple days. Not great for formula fed babies. Too thin Mar 27, 2018

  • we switched to good start gentle after a few months on enfamil enspire. I preferred the enspire (except the price!) but my baby didn't care about switching and she had no problems! Mar 20, 2018

  • Seems thicker and all of my children were able to drink this with minimal spit up. They all had regular bowel movements and it set in their tummies well. Mar 07, 2018

  • The only formula that didn't constipate my little boy! Feb 05, 2018

    • Mary C.
    • Milwaukee, Wisconsin

    Lots of spitting up and diarrhea for my little ones. I threw it in the garbage. Feb 05, 2018
