A member asked:
Is target up&up formula that's made to be similar to similac just as good as actual similac? if so, is it ok to alternate between the two?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can't tell: In the US, name-brand formulas and generic formulas are all considered fine to drink. Individual babies may have specific preferences due to tummy issues or cow milk protein allergies. There is no way to tell if one formula is "as good" as another, or better, or worse. There is no standard definition of "as good", and there are rarely any side-by-side comparison studies (no Coke vs. Pepsi tests).
