 too expensiveJul 09, 2010
They sell this same size can at my sam's club for $34.28. It is crazy to charge $47!

This is waaaaay too expensive. At my local Target (Philadelphia region) I can get a 24oz can with an extra 4oz FREE for $23 or 56oz for the same price as this. That's 80 cents an ounce compared to $1.26 an ounce
 Gentlease has 1/5 the lactose of milk-based formulaNov 24, 2009
A good way to start shopping for this product is to call Enfamil to see their current pricing, keeping in mind any differences in can size and number of cans in a case in the event that you might buy in bulk. I have purchased this product through Enfamil, Amazon and a few other places, always taking advantage of the best deals. I've purchased single cans of all types and cases too.
Next... The World Health Organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding until six months of age. But here in the U.S. after your 3 months maternity leave, are you able to pump enough and store in a refrigerator at work? And you might need formula anyway as we do. I mention this because some imply their formula is as good as human breast milk.
We're blessed with twins. They started out colicky and we found that Nutramigen worked at that time. They got through that phase and we've been using Gentlease and solids. After they're a year old it will be all solids. Our pediatrician recommended Gentlease. It has 1/5 the lactose of milk-based formula.
I really researched formulas. There are even organizations promoting the sale of human breast milk and there are organizations wanting to stop the sale of human breast milk for fear of health hazards that the FDA cannot control. No matter, those offering breast milk do so at prohibitively high prices - nothing charitable about it.
All the brands that I've seen have DHA and ARA, nutrients found in breast milk that promote brain and eye development, iron which is necessary for growth and many more ingredients. The government requires them to have certain ingredients. The major brands do not seem highly differentiated to me except for their specialy models. Gentlease is one of those.
Gentlease is one of the special formulas because it has a much lower amount of lactose as well as broken down proteins to make it easier to digest.
The prices vary and so do the size of the cans and the number of cans in a case. Unfortunately, I haven't seen Gentlease in big cans at the big box stores. One can also check at the local pharmacy or grocery store for comparison purposes. Keep an eye out for coupons too. You've got to keep constant watch for the best price, and there have been times when the Amazon price prevails.
