Hi,
Similac Sensitive is a commonly used infant formula that is designed to be gentle on a baby's digestive system. It is made for infants who have problems digesting milk proteins or who are lactose intolerant. The formula contains prebiotics to support the baby's immune system and helps to reduce gas and fussiness.
It is generally considered safe to use for infants, but it is always a good idea to consult with your pediatrician before making any changes to your baby's diet. Your pediatrician can help you determine if Similac Sensitive is a good choice for your baby and advise you on how to properly transition to a new formula.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Overall, it is important to prioritize your infant's health and well-being and to work closely with your pediatrician to determine the best feeding plan for your child.
