If you are a new mother or not, you know that breast feeding is the best possible nutrition you can give your baby. Not everyone can breast feed successfully, though.
The important part is giving your baby the nourishment and nutrition that they need. If you can tell that your baby is not getting enough breast milk, then you need to switch to formula. There are many different options to choose from.
The brand you choose from isn’t at all important. All formulas will be prepared according to the regulations of the FDA. These formulas are required to carry maximum nutrient levels. These regulations and the infant formula act take part in making sure that all formulas are completely nutritional and safe for your infant.
The American Academy of Pediatrics will not recommend that your infant drink a specific brand of formula if you choose formula or are not able to breast feed. They will say that you should not use low iron formula for obvious reasons.
Baby formulas differ mostly and the type and amount of sugar and proteins that have. Similac, Enfamil, and Nestle Good Start Supreme are made with lactose and cow’s milk-based proteins. If an infant is not breast feeding, they should be given a cow’s milk-based iron fortified formula exclusively.
Many parents like the idea of soy formulas because they are made with soy protein and lactose free. They are good for children who cannot tolerate lactose or the proteins that milk offers. If you have a family history of food allergies or intolerance to formulas, it would be a great idea to start your baby off with a soy or elemental formula if you are not able to breast feed. If you are able to breast feed but just do not like the idea, you should seriously reconsider breast feeding. It will give your child the maximum amounts of nutrients he can get, up to 20 times more than any formula can offer.
