We use soy too (my son is allergic to dairy). We use a generic brand--Comfort Soy.

I use enfamil, but sometimes it makes my baby throw up, so I am thinking of trying out Similac.

Paige Spit up a lot on Reg formula we changed her to Soy and she almost never spits up now! Good start is so much cheaper than other brands and if you sign up on their webpage you get a check for $11 off a can a month!

Careful with Good Start... With both of my boys I had them on formula (my second was 1/2 and 1/2 breast/bottle). With my older son, I was drawn in by the price and the claim to "comfort proteins." My son was spitting up significantly after every feeding so we tried this to see if it helped. We tried this formula and after the first feeding, he screamed for 45 minutes after (still spit up, too). It obviously upset his tummy. I tried again, with the same result. We then went back to the other formula with no problem. Don't get your heart set on a certain brand, your child may not be able to handle it. We got a small free can when I had my second child and decided to give it a try. He reacted very similarly, so we will not be giving it to our 3rd at all. You can get the retail checks for both Similac and Enfamil. I personally just go to Costco to buy it because it's cheaper. Also, I have a friend in the medical field who did some research and found that the Kirkland brand (much, much cheaper) is the same as the name brand formulas.

As a side note, I tried soy formulas with both of my boys and it didn't sit well with them either. I just have spitters...
