Do you have a preference with formula? If so, which do you think is better?
I am breastfeeding, but also using formula in between feedings since I am suffering from sore nipples. 
We were given samples of:
Enfamil
Similac - Isomil Advance
Similac - with Soy
I've been giving the baby Enfamil, but have run out and am wondering if there is really a difference. I also want to be sure of which one to give her before I go out and by a case of them. DH want's to try the soy Similac to see if it will help with the gas she gets. I know they also have Nestle Start..which I thought about trying, but wanted to know which would be better and why?
HELP! TIA!

we used Enfamil, because that is what they used in the hosspital.
I would ask your PED before switching formulas.

I used Enfamil Gentlease and then I found the Target version of it. I would never go back. It so much easier to mix and is almost 1/2 the price.

We also saw the Target brand and liked that it compared the other brands to it as well. Turns out they have more or less the SAME thing as the other formulas and are a lot cheaper. Defenitely something to consider.

We used Similac from the hospital, then we were using the Target generic. DS had pretty bad gas issues, so the ped put him on Gentlease.
My gf is a NICU nurse and she says that GoodStart or Gentlease are the closest to breast milk.
Also, personally, I wouldn't use Soy formula unless my doctor told me to, but that is just me.

Same here considering we go through one can every two days. I buy about 10 cans at a time
