A member asked:

1month baby no health issues. i was giving emfamil but don't have money to buy more formula. people gave me similac advance will it affect my baby?

Should be fine: Formulas are not interchangeable like paper clips.There are subtle differences in the digestibility from kid to kid, but these two are very similar & your baby can thrive on either.
