Milk formula?
« on: August 31, 2012, 12:43:38 PM »
Soon I am planning to switch to milk formula but not sure which brand to choose.  Would like to know your experience with each milk formula brand you tried.

How old is little one? I mixed-fed both of mine using cow & gate until they were one then went onto cow's milk.  They both were fine on it.

From what I've been taught in work-related training they're all more or less the same nutritionally really (apart from soy ones, prescription ones etc.).  I'm not really the best judge though as I didn't use formula exclusively with either of mine and continued to breastfeed until my daughter was 8 months and my son was a year.  I won't get up on my breastmilk soapbox and comment further.

I was told that they're pretty much all the same, unless your child is on a special/prescription diet.

Sme, they are all the same as far as I am aware, I used SMA Gold when I finished
 Bf'ing my son. I bf my daughter until she was two. Aptamil is really popular also.

I liked SMA as well.
When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. ~ John Lennon
