How to choose the right baby formula for the first time?
Fed is best, so let’s not even go there when discussing formula vs breast, we all make the choices which are right for ourselves and for our babies, and that’s good enough, so, if you happen to be considering formular, or perhaps breast and formula together, then here are some tips:
What about mixed feeding
Supplementary feeding of a new-born is a common thing, and these days we shouldn’t be made to feel badly if this is our choice, for whatever reasons we choose be it medical or simply just because we want to formula feed. Hospitals should always help with formula feeding, in case a baby will not accept the mother’s breast, she does not have enough milk to feed the baby, or because she chooses to bottle feed and help with all types of feeding is on offer when we give birth in the UK.
But… Which formula should we choose?
Tips for choosing a formula
There is nothing on sale in the UK which isn’t best for your baby so you can be assured that whichever brand you choose it will be the perfect composition and compliment feeding if you are doing combination feeds, or be just enough of everything right if you are sticking with formula only.
So, unless due to allergies and being prescribed a specific, prescription only formula, you don’t really have to think about anything to get started. However, as with everything, you and your baby may find that you have a preferred brand and taste.
The downfall to this is that you may have stocked up on formula that you will end up not using but there is a solution for that! Sellformula.com will buy your formula if it is unused, send you a pre-paid label to send it to them and so it doesn’t go to waste and you make some money to boot!
Conclusion!
A fed baby is a happy baby and a happy baby makes for happy families. The end!
