When you have a child, you may decide to use baby formula instead of breastfeeding. There are so many different brands on the market today, it makes it confusing to choose the best one for your infant. You will probably receive sample cans in the mail from the major retailers: Similac, Enfamil and Good Start. You might want to try the different kinds to try to figure out which one your little one likes best. Some may cause excessive gas like Good Start did for our daughter. Or, you may find that some cause major spit-up, neither of which are desirable side effects of a feeding.
Some baby formula companies are using targeted marketing to attract customers lately. Similac recently came out with a version which they say is specifically designed for babies with fussiness and gas. Enfamil just came out with a variety that is tailored to the needs of a newborn baby from zero to three months of age. Are these kinds better than just the plain stuff? It has been my experience that the generic is just as good as the major brands at about half the cost. And when you are buying can after can, saving a few dollars on each really adds up.
But sometimes you don't have a choice when it comes to baby formula. Some kids are lactose intolerant and must have soy versus milk. Unfortunately for the parents this means a more expensive type of nutrition for your little one, but you have to do what is best for your child and if it means spending a bit more money, then that is what you must do.
The great thing about baby formula, in my opinion, is that it is so easy and convenient compared to breastfeeding. I tried to breastfeed my son but it didn't work for us and we had to use bottles instead. It was so much easier mixing powder and water and he ate so much faster which gave us more time to snuggle and cuddle afterwards. With my daughter we decided to bottle-feed from the start and I am very happy with our decision and believe she is too.

All babies spit-up from time to time, but frequent spit-up after feeding can be inconvenient. Enfamil A.R. is clinically proven (based on a clinical study of Enfamil A.R. infant formula before the addition of DHA and ARA, with infants who spit-up frequently (5 or more spit-ups per day) to significantly reduce frequent spit-up, giving moms the assurance that their baby is getting and keeping all the nourishment they need to grow healthy.
For some new mothers, breast feeding is a challenge and in some cases, it can seem to be almost impossible. Stress, illness and previous surgeries are just a few of the reasons that a new mother may under-produce breast milk. If you have recently given birth and discover that, in spite of your best efforts, you are not producing enough breast milk, you should talk to your pediatrician about supplementing your breastfeeding with baby formula. It can be a bitter pill but if, like me, you find that your baby is still hungry at the end of a feeding, deciding to supplement is actually a complete no-brainer.
If your baby is not showing any obvious signs of allergies or sensitivities (gas, diarrhea and the like) you can start with any cow's milk based brand that appeals to you. Remember that all formulas sold in the US are governed by the FDA so you can be sure the nutrition guidelines are similar from brand to brand. Similac, Enfamil, Nestle or (and I wish this had been available when I was supplementing my baby) organic brands like Horizon are all fine places to start. We used powdered formula and bottles with disposable inserts for mixing but you can also buy formula in super convenient ready to use bottles and concentrated liquid formulas that you can mix quickly with water. Obviously, work within your economics and hectic schedule but once your baby is established on formula, you can switch between these different types as you need to.
Once you pick a formula, it won't take long to see if your baby doesn't like it or if it doesn't agree with her system. She will tell you unequivocally with fussing, crying, turning her head away from the bottle, spitting up, vomiting or with some truly awful diapers and gas. Definitely consult your doctor on this but you may need to switch to a formula with low or no lactose or one made with soy milk. In any case, never, ever attempt to feed your baby regular cow's milk or soy milk... they are simply not nutritionally complete enough for a developing baby.
If you can, you should definitely continue to let your baby breastfeed before offering a bottle. For me, it worked something like this: I would make up a bottle first, then sit down with my baby to breast feed. When he lost interest in breastfeeding, I would offer him the bottle and, if he took it right away, I would let him drink as much of that bottle as he wanted. Be aware that sucking formula from a bottle is so much easier than getting it from your breast that your baby might become "lazy" about breastfeeding so always breastfeed first and be absolutely sure they are making an effort before you offer the bottle.
Finally, how do you know if your baby is getting enough formula? Not surprisingly, you will know if you are feeding your baby enough formula by looking for the same signs of satiation that you do with breast feeding: sleepiness, falling off the bottle and what every mother might call slight "intoxication."
In the end, the very best thing you can do is trust your instincts and not worry too much, anyway. After all, we're talking about our babies!
