If you are looking for a reliable and safe baby formula to formula feed or supplement with formula while breast feeding, Enfamil Premium Infant formula might just be your answer. It is a great milk based formula for healthy babies who do not have colic issues or who are not allergic to milk. Clinical studies showed that this formula promotes baby’s healthy growth, strengthens baby’s immune system and enhances brain and eye development. The taste might not be too great, but the nutritional benefits are considerable. It has more iron than most other formulas. In addition to its great nutritional value, Enfamil Premium Infant formula comes with new Natural Defense Dual Prebiotics. The theory is that majority of your baby’s  immune system is located in his digestive track. This formula has dual prebiotic system that feeds the good bacteria found naturally in your baby’s digestive tract. The new studies suggest that added prebiotics might support your baby’s developing immune system.

Formula is available in a few different forms and sizes. Powder formulas come in  23.4 oz reusable BPA-free tubs (pictured above),35 oz refill boxes that contain 2 - 17.5 oz pouches, 12.5 oz can, and single-serve powder packs for your convenience. The refill boxes are money savers. You just buy a refill and use the same original plastic tub. Some parents complain about the resealable bag inside the reusable tub container that is supposed to keep formula fresh. It is hard to measure and scoop formula powder, especially formula gets to the bottom of the bag. Formula powder gets all over the hands and that is not the most pleasant thing when you have a screaming baby in your hands.  This formula also comes in a ready-to-use liquid 32 fl oz and 8 fl oz cans, and 6 fl oz  bottles. You can also get a 13 fl oz concentrate liquid formula.
