When supplementing with Formula..how do you know which one to use?

I think I'm going to start giving DS more formula...mainly at night so that DH can feed him and give me a break.

Right now he's getting generic gentlease once a day, IF that often. Should I stick with that?

My ped said gentlease and good start were closest to breastmilk.

If your DS is not having issues with what you are using I wouldn't switch.

I used what the hospital gave us - Enfamil Lipil. As long as what you're using is working, I wouldn't switch.

I'm using Enfamil Lipil too, but just b/c the hospital sent us home with some. If what you have is working then I agree that you should stick with it!

Same here. We supplemented and then went totally to formula. We used Gentlese and Grace loved it.
