Which formula do you use and how do you decide which one to get?

[Duckie]

I've been having some really grrrr few days with Anna feeding and in a strop this morning started thinking maybe it would just be easier to convert to bottles. I don't know if I will yet, maybe when I shake this bad mood and get back to my normal stubborn self over bfing I won't want to do this, but just wondered how you all decided which formula to put your babies on, and which do you use? Are any particular brands better than others?

I use Milupa Aptimal, for no reason. I had a choice of four in the hospital and I just kind of went eeny meeny miney mo and picked it, but I have heard only good things about it.

Well, why not start mixed feeding? We started mixed feeding when T was a bit under 5 months (cos we didn't want to introduce formula and solids at the same time!!).

We chose cow & gate on the basis by best mummy friend was using it TBH, I think they are pretty much much of a muchness

I use Cow & Gate Premium, just because that's the one they shoved in her gob at the hospital!

I've heard very good things about Aptimal though.

We did mixed feeding with Aptimil as the HV said it was the closest to breast milk.

Same here , I also remember BJMAC saying it was good and the only one that says " closest to breast milk " the others only say "Closer to breast milk " it is the most expensive tho

[Madwife]

we use cow and gate too, just becasue thats what Abigail had

Like Shoppie said why just add one formila feed? It may help you feel a bit better if your DH can do a feed a day to give you a break
