Mgt: I would suggest buying the same formula or a national brand, at a large discount store such as Costco. It is important that the formula is made in the U.S. and has the same/similar ingredients and calories. I would suggest asking your Pediatrics clinic for samples and about the the WIC program which can help to cut costs.
