I fed this to my premature babies since this is what the hospital gave to them when they were born. I continued to use the ready to use cans thinking that it was the best for them, since the powder formula "is not sterile." My babies have had problems with gas, indigestion, reflux, spitting/vomitting all the time they were on this formula. I just thought it was what all babies go through and didn't want to switch to a different formula again. I recently switched over to the powder formula, and they seem so much better. It's like I turned off a switch....amazing. I can't say that I'm 100% sure it's the metal cans, but my instint tells me that whatever preservative or chemical they used in the cans made them sick.

There's a growing concern over the BPA used in infant formula cans (and other canned foods). BPA is used to line the cans in order to "preserve" the formula...and giving it a longer shelf life. BPA is commonly found in plastic containers/bottles, and there's a movement to remove BPA from baby bottles because of its adverse affects on infants. If babies ingest BPA, it can cause developmental problems in the brain and reproductive system. The latest studies show that the level of BPA in metal formula cans is so much higher than what is found in baby bottles. There's more information online (check out the Environmental Working Group) about this issue, and as a concerned mother, I felt that I needed to let other mothers out there know about this. I know that there are millions of mothers who know little or nothing about this issue.

I get sick thinking about this. At the very least, we have a responsibility to be informed when it concerns our babies.

I have triplets and the local grocery stores can't restock their shelves quick enough to keep up with my formula demand so I checked out delivery options. Amazon has everyone beat by far. $39 per case is better than buying it direct from Enfamil. Enfamil charges $48/case delivered. The cans so far have arrived dent free and I have bought 4 cases. It works out to $6.43/can compared to $6.19 per can at the lowest priced stores in my area. Every once in a while Target sells this product for $5.50 a can but they sell out right away and don't restock for over a week. I will continue to buy from Amazon unless they raise the price from $39 case. I recommend it.

I have no problems with this item at all except I know of about 15 different places I could have bought this for a lot cheaper. I only purchased it here because I had two amazon.com $25 coupons I had to use by a certain date.

i agree that the smell isnt the greatest. we started my baby on the RTF liquid form and then tried giving him the powder too. he wont eat the powdered form so we will have to stick with the liquid. overall, the liquid is easier but i wish it came in a larger variety of sizes and that you didnt have to refrigerate it if you didnt use it all at once.

My Granddaughter will only drink this. It doesn't smell good but she loves it.

I still like the Enfamil brand but this ready-to-use liquid has a terrible smell! I thought it may have been a bad can, but the others smelled the same. My child still liked it. I prefer the Enfamil with Lipil powder.
