Notes from a Real Mom: Formula Taste Test
Similac tastes better than Enfamil.
Believe it or not, I actually researched this when my older son stopped drinking his bottle around four months. You have to understand that my child LOVED to eat for a long time, but then decided to pay me back for my childhood (and adult) pickiness by refusing to take a bottle (and later being spoonfed.)
After researching the matter, I actually found people that reviewed various formulas including a taste test for their own child. I’m not brave enough to do it myself, but according to their report, Enfamil is rather grainy and Similac is smooth. While neither one is very tasty, they were able to get Similac down the hatch – Enfamil never made it past their noses (and I can’t say I blame them.)
After making the switch, Jake did eat better, although he was never truly happy again at mealtime until he could feed himself. He’s rather independent.
Don’t believe me? Just take a good whiff of each – you’ll figure it out in no time.
