i would pick carnation because they have those comfort proteins and it breaks down in the baby's stomach more gently than regular ones. but you can pick anyone you want.
you may have to switch a few times to get the right one that your dd likes and is best suited for her little stomach:)

My pediatrition only suggests Similac. It consistently scores the highest when compared with other brands, and most recently was shown to have up to 50% more absortion of calcium than other brands (which well help prevent osteperosis later in life. It is also the brand that government gives out with the WIC program (Women with infant children) because of its high quality. Others might be cheaper but similac I feel is the best. IF you join the Welcome Addition club on similac's web page they will send you free samples and also give you coupons every month for money off.

My Dr said Similac and Enfamil were by far superior to Carnation Good start and the generic brands. Ask your dr for a recommendation. After he/she gives you a recommendation ask her/him why she prefers that brand. My DD could not take the Good Start - made her terribly gassy!

As a long time professional in the field of children, I also recommend Similac, and it's forms. This is the all around most commonly accepted-by babies in all my work over the years! Most recommended by peds, for it's greater calcium absorbstion..Even my own son took to Similac w/out complication,gas or fussiness.

Similac is quite reasonably priced at Walmart! COstco also sells a larger size container for a great price!

I would also suggest joining the welcome addition club to receive a free formula starter kit and monthly coupons!

*Remember everybaby is different, you'll have to start w/one formula and work from there..be consistent, don't switch back and forth between formula's..and don't change formula's w/out doc's consent! Give baby time to adjust to any given formula. Gas or fussiness may not always mean a formula change, it could be as simple as changing the type of bottle or even nipple!!

Please feel free to email me if you have any further questions or concerns..I'm glad to help if I can!

Happy Feedings!

I chose to suppliment my b/f with Similac.

My Dr. said they were all basically the same and wouldn't make any recommendations, then my parents made a passing comment on how I was a Similac baby -- I've always been very healthy, so I considered that more than enough reason to choose it for my daughter! :)

My neighbor uses Emfamil and has been very happy.

My doctor told me that Nestle Good Start was one of the best, so this is what I use. My little guy seems to like it and they give you free samples, and a magazine and other little things if you go to their website.

Find what works best for you, I know there are a lot of choices! And isn't it expensive??? YIKES!
