Amazon.com Product Description
Nestle Good Start Natural Cultures is the first and only infant formula to provide the added protection of beneficial probiotic cultures to help support a healthy immune system, plus Comfort Proteins and DHA & ARA. DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and ARA (arachidonic acid) are fatty acids, or lipids, found naturally in breastmilk. These lipids are an important component to the development of healthy brain and eye tissues. During the third trimester of pregnancy the mother passes DHA and ARA to her baby. After the baby is born, the mother can continue to provide DHA and ARA to her child via breastfeeding, or by giving her child Good Start Natural Cultures formula. A Breakthrough Infant Formula

 Best out of the bunch November 25, 2008
Tricia Bryan (Los Angeles, CA)
My son would not breastfeed so I had to supplement and eventually supplant with formula. It was difficult finding one that did not make him constipated or give him gas pains. I learned that at the young age of 1-2 months it's bound to happen with any formula but this seemed the most gentle on his stomach and eventually he got used to it (at 3 months). This formula has a touch less iron than the the other brands, has a good taste, doesn't stain as much, and is the only formula I know of with probiotics for their immune system (important if your baby is not getting breastmilk). Only draw back would be that it does not dissolve easily and is more expensive than other brands and comes with lesser value coupons. Nevertheless, the positives outweigh the negatives, and I would use this with my next child from the beginning if breastfeeding doesn't work out
 Our little boy loves it :) November 16, 2008

We really tried to breast feed but the little guy just couldn't. I read all the reviews before I bought this formula and they were true. The powder is really fine so it mixes well compared to Enfamil...well there is really no clumping at all. It doesn't constipate them - quite the opposite but that just means a happier boy for us. He doesn't fuss. He just loves it and actually started eating more when we switched from Enfamil. This review is coming from a guy so take it for what it is worth, of course :)
Wonderful, but.... September 29, 2008

It doesn't mix as well as the other Good Start powdered formulas. My son takes to it great, and it keeps him nicely regulated, unlike the other name brand formulas I've tried. Just take some extra time with mixing it and you'll be okay. It's well worth the time. You'll have a happy, healthy baby who sleeps better because he's/she's comfortable.

It is very difficult to review since we never received the product and have not been contacted by sender in over 10 days. Not happy at all
The closest thing to breastmilk!! July 16, 2008

When our spontaneous triplets were born at 34.4 weeks gestation I was determined to breastfeed them and was able to do so for the first 7 weeks, supplementing with Enfamil Enfacare (22 calorie preemie formula), as directed by our pediatrician. In the NICU they were getting as much milk as I could make enhanced with the Enfamil and when I stopped nursing we were told we should stick with the Enfamil due to the triplets' low birth weights (5 pounds each at birth). Once they were no longer getting breast milk their poops became more solid and bulky and much more stinky.
Our triplets just turned 5 months old and we were given the go-ahead from the pediatrician to switch their formula to a regular formula as long as we mixed it rich, using more than the recommended amount to bulk up the calories until they were 6 months old. I was dying to switch them because there are many food allergies in my family and knowing all the new food-allergy research I wanted the kids to get the probiotics into their system before we started solids. We started by using the Good Start for 1/3 of their bottles, Enfacare for 2/3, to make the switch gradual and less shocking on their tummies. They have been a little cranky and gassy while their system adjusts to a new formula but the proof is in the diaper. Since the switch, the kids' poops have gone back to that sweet(er) smelling, yellow mustard seed looking, classic breast milk poop. I've also noticed that they are pooping a lot less, which means that their bodies are using the food it gets more effectively and efficiently. I am blown away by this. I can not believe what a huge difference just a little of this formula has made just a few days. I feel confident that my instinct to switch them to a better formula was correct all along.
Yes, it might not mix as easily (invest in a Dr. Brown's Formula Pitcher!) but it does not produce all the bubbles the Enfamil did, nor does it smell as bad, and it won't stain like other formulas. The comfort proteins and probiotics make this the perfect formula. Breast milk may be best but this is the next best thing!
