Similac 360 Total Care Infant Formula
Similac's flagship milk-based formula with a full slate of HMO prebiotics for parents who want the loaded option.
The verdict
Similac 360 Total Care is Enfamil's main rival and a great pick if your baby is already on Similac or your hospital uses it. It's a standard milk-based formula boosted with five HMO prebiotics (structurally similar to some found in breast milk) plus lutein and vitamin E, and it's just as widely stocked and easy to mix. It's a genuine upgrade in the sense of 'more added ingredients,' but the practical difference over a basic formula is modest, so don't feel behind if you use something simpler. Skip it if you want organic, if your baby has a diagnosed cow's-milk allergy, or if you're pinching pennies, since store brands cover the same essentials for less.
