Our twin girls were born at 37 weeks and around 5.5 pounds each, and after three weeks of breastfeeding exclusively, they had dropped to just below 5 pounds, so our pediatrician recommended I supplement breastfeeding with Neosure. The results were astounding -- within a month both girls were just under 10 pounds! They've been on this calorie-laden stuff ever since (22 cal/oz versus 20 cal/oz in regular formula and in breast milk -- that's 10% more!) The reason I didn't give it the full five stars is because it gave our baby girls a touch of reflux, which we had to combat with 1mL of Mylanta before each feeding. It's also a little more difficult to mix than other formulas since it's creamier/fattier - you need to really shake/mix it to be sure there are no little beads of formula that settle at the bottom of the bottle (happens to us all the time). And yes, it is a tad pricier than other formulas, however like the other reviewers I've found it for a little less at CVS, and even snapped some up for $12.99 a can on sale at Wegman's. All in all though, it's made our girls big and strong - they're not even 4 months yet and already sitting up, rolling over, trying to "stand" on our laps and talking up a storm!Get more detail about Similac NeoSure Advance Premature Infant Formula Powder with Iron, Case of 6 Cans- each 12.8 Ounces.
