A member asked:
Which formula should i start/combine with my 4 month old baby, whos been purely breastfed from birth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cow-milk formula: Any well-known brand of cow-milk formula should be fine. The nutritional value of formulas in America are standardized, so they have similar amounts of calories, protein, carbohydrates, and fat. There are, however, different sources for the ingredients. For example, some formulas use cow-milk protein, while others use soy protein. The type of sugars and fats in the formula may be different also.
