A member asked:
Do you have a recommendation for a good baby formula to start with if i can't breastfeed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Breast is best, but: No worries. Any commercially available cow-milk baby formula from a fairly well-known manufacturer should be just fine. Normal babies can use "normal" or "regular" formula, plus there are special formulas made for special situations. Ready-to-drink formula is mistake-proof, but heavy to carry (it's liquid) and more costly. Powder formula needs correct mixing... so be sure to follow instructions.
