A member asked:
I've exclusively breast fed my baby for 5 weeks now, what's the best formula to start her on?? is there a difference between generic and name brand?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There is not much: difference between the major brands of formulas, and many generic brands are comparable, however there are different types of formulas provided by each manufacturer. This is a link that discusses the different types of formula. http://www.healthychildren.org/English/ages-stages/baby/feeding-nutrition/Pages/Choosing-a-Formula.aspx I hope this helps. Certainly discuss this with your Pediatrician
