Baby formula isn’t what it once was, it’s even better! Today, baby formula comes in a variety of choices from milk to soy to organic formula. Over the last few years, non-dairy based formulas have become more popular and more mainstream. Soy based formulas are great for babies that can’t tolerate dairy or who spit up often.

The great thing about baby formula is that it’s quick and easy, and it stores and travels well. Unfortunately, unlike breast milk, baby formula isn't free. In fact, baby formula can be quite expensive. It is, however, possible to find discounted dairy formula in large retail stores such as Costco and Wal-Mart. And realize that soy and organic formulas will always cost more than dairy formulas.

All baby formulas must meet FDA requirements, and this means they all must meet certain nutritional requirements. But this doesn't mean all formulas are created equal! There are many different formulas to choose from, and there is not necessarily one that is better than another. However, it is best to purchase a formula that has DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) and ARA (Arachidonic Acid). DHA and ARA are fatty acids found in breast milk which help boost the baby’s brain development. Some formulas have it and some don’t, so be sure to check. Also, be sure ask your doctor which baby formula would be best to use.

Baby formula is also great to use when you need to mix milk with cereal and other foods when the baby is learning to eat. It is also great for working mothers whose work environment is not conducive to breast pumping.

Baby formula is a great alternative for mothers who cannot or do not want to breast feed. Most mothers use a combination of breast milk and formula. However, before you decide to use baby formula instead of breast milk, take note that breast milk is still the best food for your baby in terms of nutrition and other health benefits, like the passing of antibodies from mother to baby.
