Enfamil Gentlease Infant Formula

Enfamil · Infant (0–12 months)

Enfamil Gentlease is designed to ease common feeding issues like gas and fussiness within 24 hours. It features partially hydrolyzed proteins, which are proteins broken down into smaller pieces to be gentler on a baby's developing digestive system. It also contains significantly less lactose than standard formulas, and includes DHA to support brain development. (Enfamil also sells a NeuroPro Gentlease variant with added prebiotics and MFGM — this entry covers the standard Gentlease.)

Why parents consider it

Fast-acting (claim of 24-hour relief). Partially hydrolyzed proteins for easier digestion. Comprehensive nutrition including DHA for brain health. Widely recommended by pediatricians for gas and fussiness. Available in multiple sizes and formats (powder and liquid).

Worth knowing

Contains corn syrup solids as the primary carb source. Contains palm olein oil. Not suitable for babies with CMPA (requires extensively hydrolyzed). Slightly bitter taste compared to standard lactose formulas.

Our plain-English take

Gentlease is Enfamil's flagship 'gentle' formula. It's a middle ground between standard formula and hypoallergenic options. If your baby has mild gas or fussiness, this is a solid first step before moving to more specialized (and expensive) hypoallergenic brands.
