My little one has reflux, and they recommended Enfamil A.R., however, my boy has always had constipation issues, so the added rice starch only worsened the situation......he drinks similac sensitive, for his constipation, and this is a lactose free formula, but the also make Similac Sensitive with added rice starch, called Similac Sensitive R.S......but again, this is only for the lactose intolerant.

I have heard that Similac Advance is the best for reflux. My daughter drank it too, but she did not suffer from really bad reflux, only minor.

mine always responded to gentlease lipil mixed with cereal the best.
but, at about 6 months, she graduated to enfamil and cereal, then good start and cereal.
but, she responded to the gentlease the best.
we also made a bubby smoothie...
1st stage or second stage foods mixed with the formula.

**also** mixing of the baby food with formula helps relieve constipation due to cereal.


solids help keep the acids down. that is the key.

good luck

Similac Sensative R.S. Or Enfamil A.R.

Add: I don't see why I would get a thumbs down for answering the question...
