Stopping breastfeeding, which formula does your baby like/ not like?


So, i am working mom and working and breastfeeding is no longer working out. I work 50+hrs a week and travel most of the time. Held onto it until my very last oz of sanity.
Anyway, so we are starting our 5month old on formula. We have used Costco brand (its supposed to be like Similac) but I dont think she likes it that much. What formulas does your baby like and what formulas have you tried and the baby didnt like?
Thanks,

i am not switching cold turkey, she has had formula (couple of oz's here and there since birth). We have been giving her 1/2 formula in atleast 2 bottles a day now. Also, for the first week of life she only eat formula.

I wouldn't just switch cold turkey. Your baby may have trouble with her stomach. This could cause you even more greif than pumping and giving it to her.

We triend Enfamil and Similac with both our boys and they did not sit well with either.

In the end we found that Carnation Good Start worked great. It also looked and smelled the most like milk. The other two made me gag.

My Leena-bug does super well on Similac Advance, early sheild. No gas issues, no constipation...she is happy!

My son really liked Earth's Best.
