 | Kelly_Jakob's Mom (0) 04/20/2004 |  Hello!
I thought I could share a little info on the Wal- Mart brand formuila (Parents Choice), and other generic store brand formulas. I have done extensive research on this.
The wal-mart brand formula is manufactured by Wyeth labs(actually Wyeth nutritionals, a Division of Wyeth Labs). (Wyeth are the same people that make Advil, Robitussin,Chapstik,and Centrum vitamins)(they even make one of the heart meds my Brother is on-so I trust this manufacturer)
Wal-Mart is not the only place to find parents choice formula.
That formula is manufactured by Wyeth under different store brand names, and carried at many stores. I have found so far that Wal-Mart carries it for the lowest price. But, some stores listed below are not in my area, so I dont know how their prioces are. These formulas are distrubuted by PBM products, and are also known as America's Store Brand Infant Formulas
They are all the SAME formula, they just have the different store brand lables on them.
Here are the names of formulas that Wyeth makes, and the stores that carry them:
Baby Basics: Carried at ACME, Albertsons, Savon,and Jewel-Osco******
Comforts Infant Formula: City market, Dillons, King Soopers, and Kroger******
CVS Infant formula: CVD Pharmacy*******
Eckard Infant Formula: Eckard********

 | A friendof a mother (0) 04/05/2004 | For a mother who suddenly is faced with a preterm delivery, too many choices have to be made that find the mother woosey. My friend planned to breast feed, but, still on medications, and with the baby on formula, a post hospital solution had to be found. Mother uses a breast pump so she will be able to breast feed, but what to do now. This review really helped, once we read up on the new additions to the formula. We would opt for the Lipil. Thank for real help.
