A member asked:

Please recommend the best formula milk for newborn?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Formula choices: The best formula for one baby may not be the best for another. Four levels of standard formula : milk based, lactose free, soy, hypoallergenic. It is generally recommended to start with a milk based product (Similac, Enfamil and Goodstart are reputable brands) provided there is no strong concern for lactose deficiency or milk protein allergy.
