This is the first time I have written a product review. Due to a medical issue of my own, I was unable to nurse my daughter beyond 3 months. Even though I purchased a higher-quality dairy formula, she broke out in a severe, raised rash. The Dr. had us switch to a sou formula. Again, I purchased a high-quality brand. She had the same reaction. With no other choices left, my daughter started Elecare formula. It is dairy free and soy free. The ingredient list made me cringe . . . and the smell was awful. After 3 months of being on Elecare, a friend of mine told me about the newly-released Happy Baby formula. Her baby also got rashes from dairy but tolerated the Happy Baby formula well.I decided to buy some and see what happened. My 6 month old daughter immediately ate twice as much as she did with the Elecare- because the Happy Baby formula actually tasted good to her! It was cute to see her cup her hand around the bottle and close her eyes. I was wondering if she would break out in the raised hives/rash- and she didn't! I thought it was a fluke and that, within 24 hours, surely she would have some sort of reaction still. Nope! This stuff is AMAZING. I know it's because of the prebiotics in it. I love the list of ingredients. Another perk: her skin is even BETTER on the Happy Baby formula than it was in Elecare. She didn't have a rash on Elecare anymore, but she was dry. She also wouldn't eat more than 2/3 ounces at a time and she stayed the same weight for about two and a half months. After only 2 weeks on the Happy Baby formula, she gained almost 2 pounds. This isn't because she was over eating... but because she was finally just eating! She had her 6 month appointment and with the 2 pound gain, she is at the 55% range for weight for her age. She is thriving. She is also SO happy. No tummy troubles at all. I am telling you- this formula is liquid gold! It also isn't just a coincidence. I ran out of the Happy Baby formula for a day and tried some of the other high-quality dairy formula to see if it was simply a case of "outgrowing the dairy issue." Nope! She had tummy pain, cried, and broke out... so I didn't give her more than 1 bottle of that stuff.I may not be able to breast feed this time around, but at least I don't have any guilt giving my daughter the Happy Baby formula. Not only does she love the taste, she is thriving! Thank you for creating this formula!

Went through 5 or 6 different formulas, each either gave my baby constipation or reflux, with different color and consistencies in his poop or just a very fussy baby in general. It was very difficult to navigate which formula is best for my baby until I found happy baby. It literally makes my baby a happy baby. It is the truest form of marketing I have ever seen so far as I’ve learned breast milk poops are supposed to be yellow and this was the first formula that made my babies poop yellow and not green or brown. I was very happy and comfortable with this formula after I had found out that information. I would definitely recommend this formula especially if you want a formula based milk that’s closest to breastmilk.

LOVE this formula. I used it for a long time until baby had to switch to a hypoallergenic. If you look at tested formulas, this is one of the cleaner formulas compared to others. I feel the price is reasonable as well. It also doesn’t stink like I experienced with other formulas.

We started giving my 4 month old baby this formula as supplement to breastmilk. At first we supplemented with 1 oz per feeding (25% formula of total feeding) then increased to 2 oz (50%) and now 3 oz (75%). I've addressed some issues mentioned by other reviewers here.Overall - We like this formula and is continuing to use it.Packaging - The plastic box is a bit flimsy. The lid will break off if you're too heavy-handed opening or bending the lid too far back. I like the easy to remove top seal and spoon rest.Foamy - The mixed formula is foamy if it is shaken rigorously. A trick to not have foam is to mix formula with slight warm water, which helps the formula to dissolve quickly, and instead of rigorous shaking, use gentle swirling motion. We also mix 1-2 hours in advance, which helps the last clumps of formula to dissolve, and we leave the formula in the fridge so that it's ready to go. My son likes his milk cold.Constipation - My son had constipation immediately with 1oz supplement and we used prune juice (every day for the first week, then every other day after). He is now used to this formula and no longer needs prune juice (3 weeks after first try).Taste - Since we added breastmilk to the bottle from the start, my son is used to the taste, even as we increased the amount of formula in recent weeks.Smell - There is a slight metallic/fish smell - but it's not offensive.Color - The color of formula is pale white/ivory exactly like my breastmilk.
