Source: HiveTried, https://hivetried.com/baby/formula/for-spit-up/
Category: Baby > Baby formula. Updated 2026-10-08. Based on 223 counted first-hand reports from Target shopper reviews, Aug 2018 to Oct 2026.

**Question:** Which formula is good for babies who spit up a lot?

**Short answer:** Enfamil A.R. has the best record for spit-up: 22 of 23 parents said their baby spit up noticeably less on it. Similac Pro-Total Comfort follows at 21 of 26, and Similac 360 Total Care has the weakest record here at 9 of 16. Every baby is different, and parents often switch formulas because of a problem, so read these as parent reports, not a promise for your baby.

**What stands out:** Spit-up that stayed the same or got worse is a common complaint lower on the list: 38% of Similac 360 Total Care reviews, 30% of Kendamil Classic Formula reviews and 25% of Kendamil Organic Formula reviews say so.

## Questions

**Which formula do parents say eased spit-up?**

Enfamil A.R. has the best record (22 of 23), followed by Similac Pro-Total Comfort (21 of 26) and Similac 360 Total Care Sensitive (12 of 14). The letters A.R. are part of the product's name, not proof it will work for your baby. These are parent reports, and every baby is different.

**Is Kendamil good for spit-up?**

Parents are mixed. Kendamil Organic Formula comes out ahead of the other two at 26 of 35, then Kendamil Goat Formula at 20 of 29 and Kendamil Classic Formula at 18 of 30. Across the three, 25%, 22% and 30% of reviews say spit-up stayed the same or got worse.

**When should I call the pediatrician about spit-up?**

Talk to your pediatrician before switching formulas. Call right away if spit-up is forceful, green or bloody, or if your baby isn't gaining weight. Babies differ, so a formula that helped another baby may not help yours.

**How should I mix formula?**

Exactly as the label says, with the scoop from the can and the amount of water listed. Don't add extra powder, extra water or anything else to the bottle unless your pediatrician tells you to.
