My baby is currently on Similac RS, but I have lots of coupons for Enfamil AR, they are basically the same formulas from what I understand, they are just different brands.....so do you think I could by the Enfamil and change from the Similac, without if upsetting my babies stomach???

What can I do next?

a friend of mine did that and her baby went from easy angel baby to throwing up all the time baby. I would see if another mom would trade coupons with you.

It is a trial and error situation. My babies could not handle the switch, my sister-in-law switches her twins based on the coupons she has. She has had no problems doing this.

With my baby they had her on enfamil in the hosp. The first ped visit she gave me a ton of samples for the similac version (she had to be on a high calorie formula) but that constipated her. So 2 months later I switched her back to enfamil. Then when she was older (9 months) I bought whatever was on sale (kirkland, target brand, and walmart brand). She didn't have any problems with any of the changes. If you are really worried about it, ask her ped, mine said as long as it was the same type of formula the brands didn't matter. Good Luck!

I changed my oldests formula back and forth (I wasnt told it wasnt good until she was off formula) I had great coupons and it worked well with her! She never got sick and never had any problems. I would call and ask your pedi about it though!
