All About Formula
Medical experts say that breastfeeding is the best option for mom and baby. But if breastfeeding isn't the right choice for you, there's no need to worry. Babies can grow up perfectly healthy and happy on infant formula. In fact, formulas today are much more sophisticated than they were when we were babies. Even some breastfeeding moms like to supplement breast milk with infant formula from time to time.
But many new moms today are confused about what type of formula to buy and how to prepare it. Read on to get the lowdown on infant formula.

If a mother can breastfeed her baby, she should be ashamed to bottle feed. It's like giving your child McDonald's versus healthy foods. The reason bottle fed babies go longer between feedings is because of all the JUNK that's in formula. Breastfed babies are much more healthy. Breastfeeding is also a special bonding time that you should not give up. And if you are TOO BUSY to breastfeed, well you should have thought of that before having a baby.
11/6/2011 01:58:11 PM Report Abusenestle Good Start worked for us. My first child had a hard time with enfamil, then switch to nestle's. It is very easy on digestion. I used it for all three of my boys and plan to use it for my daughter as well.

5/24/2010 09:42:55 PM Report AbuseBeen through all of the enfamil formula's all the way to Nutrimagen AA, and they all either constipated my daughter or gave her diareah. So we tried Similac... no good, it doesn't mix well and she puked it up. She is now 13 weeks and doing great on Gerber Goodstart, she takes 5-7 oz every 5 hrs and is pooping on a regular basis. So to all of you moms struggling trying to figure it out, give Goodstart a try.
4/7/2010 01:53:51 PM Report Abusethanks for the tip, megganconnell. My 10 wk old is drinking 5 oz every 3-4 hrs and sometimes he is still hungry. The doctor told me to make sure it is every 4 hrs or longer because he is in the top percentile. I have been looking for an answer as to how much he should be drinking. I will check the univ website.

1/27/2010 11:16:42 AM Report AbuseOur baby's Dr told us that she is a little too heavy and that we should cut back how much we feed her. I was wondering how much the average 10 week old should be consuming?
