**Question:** Which formula is good for gassy babies?

**Short answer:** Similac Alimentum has the best record for gassy babies: 25 of 29 reviewers said their baby was less gassy. Enfamil Reguline has the highest share at 11 of 12, but from a small group, and its reviews talk more about poops than gas. Price is the catch for Alimentum, with 38% of its reviews calling it too expensive.

**What stands out:** Parents whose baby stayed gassy show up across the page: 22% of Kendamil reviews, 16% of Bobbie reviews and 12% of Similac Sensitive reviews. Kendamil Classic and Goat Formula has the weakest record here at 7 of 13.
