Enfamil Infant Formula Milk-Based with Iron, Combo Pack, 121.8 Ounce (Packaging May Vary)
[[[ THE STORY ]]]
Without going into too much detail, as new parents, you try to prepare for your child as much as possible. In our case, we were waiting for the arrival of our baby daughter. My wife planned on breastfeeding but as a precaution, I purchased a single tub of Enfamil for Supplementing and a single tub of Enfamil Newborn Infant Formula as a precautionary measure. After all, you can return unused products to the store. Better safe than sorry is my motto.
It ended up that precautionary step paid off. Unfortunately, the unexpected happened and our daughter was born prematurely due to pregnancy complications during the 3rd trimester. She was in the NICU for 7 days and during that time frame, we visited every 3 hours, every day, for 7 days to nurse her. However, my wife was not producing enough breastmilk and after the first few times nursing, the hospital had to supplement our baby with formula. We asked for Enfamil, but they were a "Similac-sponsored" hospital. Therefore, all they had to give my daughter was Similac products. Even after we brought our daughter home, we had to follow the routine of nursing + formula. They gave us several samples of Similac Advance with the Early Shield logo and my wife and I decided to keep her on it since she was doing well, but around the same time, Similac Advance w/ OptiGRO was released. Stores now carry Similac Advance w/ OptiGRO (Early Shield branded Similac formulas are now gone around my area).Read more --
